Product Overview
The First Team FT300 Backboard Height Adjuster is primarily constructed of 2” round and 2” square steel tubing. Its design ensures it is no more than 3 ½” thick, which helps to minimize backboard displacement, especially when the gym floor has existing striping.
This height adjuster offers an infinite adjustment range between 10’ and 8’, operated by an acme screw and grade 8 nut. Roller bearings are integrated to minimize the effort required for adjustments. The unit is powder coated black and includes a removable crank handle for convenience, alongside a rim height indicator label.
Backboard mounting slots are designed to accommodate industry standard 20”x35” mounting patterns. The FT300 Backboard Height Adjuster comes with a 10-Year Superior Warranty and has an approximate shipping weight of 172#.
