The Jam III is an in-ground adjustable basketball goal system designed for institutional use. It features a one-piece 4" square vertical pole with 11 gauge wall thickness, buried 36" deep in concrete, and sealed with a watertight vinyl cap. The system weighs approximately 205 pounds.

The goal adjusts infinitely from 10 feet down to 7 feet using a crank cylinder with a minimum 2000# capacity rating, assisted by two springs to minimize adjustment effort. Extension arms are constructed of dual 2" x 2" tubing, providing a minimum 24" extension from the post to the backboard face. The rim mounts directly to the extension arm through the backboard, reducing stress on the backboard structure.

The backboard measures approximately 54" wide by 36" high and is constructed of 1/2" thick acrylic with bright white screening, framed in clear anodized aluminum. The flexible institutional-quality rim features a 5/8" diameter high strength steel ring, 3/16" support brace, heavy-duty compression spring, and orange powdercoat finish. The pole, backboard, and standard rim carry a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
