What is liftgate?

Standard (curbside) freight delivery: the driver brings the pallet to your address but does not unload it, so you need a loading dock, a forklift or enough people to unload it.

Liftgate delivery: the truck's hydraulic liftgate lowers the pallet to the ground, the right choice for a home, school, park or any address without a dock. To add it, choose the shipping method "Premium Insured Freight + Liftgate (+$209)" at checkout. It is $209 per order and covers all freight items in the order. It does not include inside delivery or assembly. Shipping policy

✓ Authorized Ironclad Sports Dealer — ships brand-new with the full lifetime warranty

The GC55-MD is an in-ground basketball system featuring a one-piece 5"x5" 12-gauge steel pole and a 1/4" thick tempered glass backboard sized 32" x 54", suited for driveway installations. A bolt-down anchor mounting system allows the unit to be leveled or relocated if the owner moves.

The all-steel crank actuator adjusts the goal from 7.5' to 10', with a rim height indicator for easy reading. A breakaway rim and net deliver gymnasium-quality flex and rebound, while the 2.5' overhang keeps players clear of the post during aggressive play.

The system includes aluminum trim around the backboard, black powder coat finish, and zinc-coated hardware for corrosion resistance, along with free post and gusset padding. It is covered by Ironclad's lifetime warranty program, with GameChanger-specific terms applying to dunking-related coverage.

Frequently asked questions

How much space should I leave behind the pole if there's a wall?

Ironclad recommends allowing 18" of distance from the back of the post to any wall or obstruction for ease of cranking and to avoid knuckle scrapes.

Can I move the GC55-MD if I relocate my home?

Yes, the bolt-down anchor base lets you disconnect the unit from its concrete footing and move it to a new location; a new set of anchor bolts may be needed for re-installation.

What is included with the GC55-MD system?

The system includes the breakaway rim and net, post padding, backboard padding, and zinc plated assembly bolts. It ships by LTL freight with curbside delivery, and liftgate delivery can be added at checkout for an extra fee.

Is JoySportStore an authorized Ironclad Sports dealer?
