Detailed Overview

The Thunder portable basketball goal is an excellent choice for any school gymnasium, recreation complex, multipurpose facility or church in need of a high quality portable while working within a budget.

The Thunder is adjustable. Its simple to use hand crank allows for infinite height adjustments from regulation 10' down to 6'6". An easy to crank adjustment handle on the backside of the unit telescopes the backboard and rim to the desired playing height.

One person can easily move the Thunder portable goal. An easy to grip release crank unlocks the brake and six roller wheels contact the playing surface for smooth portability. The extension arm can quickly drop down to allow the unit to pass under any standard height double doors.

The distance from the backboard to the base of the unit is 4' with the rim at the regulation 10' height. This allows the base of the unit to sit "off the court" for player safety. Heavy foam padding covers the entire front of the unit for additional safety. Padding is available in several colors. The unit is durable and stable enough to withstand slam dunk action and will not tip over when players hang on the rim.

Floor load on the wheels is:

Rolling - 275 psi

Stationary - 210 psi

A variety of backboards ranging from 36"x54" to 42"x72" are available on the Thunder. This allows the unit to meet an array of facilities and budget needs.

Every Thunder package comes with a Lifetime Superior Warranty.
