Product Overview
PowerLite telescoping uprights are extruded from high tensile strength aluminum tubing with a durable anodized finish, sized for a snug fit into aluminum floor sleeves. Floor sleeves are required to install the uprights and are ordered separately together with cover plates. Engraved height markings on the upright make each setting quick to confirm.
An internal bevel gear connected to an external handle controls and secures net height across an infinitely adjustable range that covers official men's and women's play. The upper section features a recessed impact resistant polycarbonate pulley wheel that accommodates the net tensioning straps, while the lower section has a molded composite foot to protect finished flooring during transportation, storage and installation.
The net tensioning winch is included with the uprights. Its internal worm gear runs a high efficiency turn ratio that eliminates snap back, is completely enclosed by a welded steel cover, and is furnished with a high quality folding handle. The winch is located on the lower section of the upright, exterior to the court, for player safety.
