Product Overview
The First Team FT310 Backboard Height Adjuster is built with a robust design, constructed primarily from 2” round and 2” square steel tubing. Engineered to be no more than 3 ½” thick, this adjuster minimizes backboard displacement, which is beneficial for gym floors with existing striping. The unit features a durable powder coated black finish.
This height adjuster provides an infinite adjustment range for backboards, moving between 10’ and 8’ via an acme screw and grade 8 nut. Roller bearings are integrated into the design to reduce the effort required for height adjustments. It accommodates backboard mounting slots for industry standard 36”x62” mounting and includes a removable crank handle and a rim height indicator label. The FT310 carries an approximate shipping weight of 226# and is backed by a 10-Year Superior Warranty.
