EZ-Fold Basketball Backstops® | Draper

Features

• Strong Overhead: Draper's EZ-Fold® Basketball Backstop's strength starts from the top. We supply all 4”O.D. 11 gauge overhead super-structure with all spans greater than 10’ including bridge trussing.
• Strength in the Pivot: Draper's backstop frame pivots on a 1-1/4" solid steel shaft welded into the top of our T-Frame and secured in our 1/2” thick steel adjustable hanger. Each adjustable hanger allows for easy and precise leveling of the backstop and attaches to the superstructure.
• Beam Clamp: Draper’s beam clamp provides at least 7 square inches of flange contact area on each side of the beam and is secured with two all-thread bolts at each attachment point.
• Precision Welding: All Draper welders have been tested and certified to meet the requirements of American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 Structural Welding Code ensuring quality fabrication and structural integrity.
• Custom Built For Your Gymnasium: Draper custom designs each backstop so the lateral sway braces intersect the main mast at approximately 18” above the backboard to ensure maximum rigidity.
• UL Listed Winches: All Draper winches are listed by Underwriters Laboratories and feature a 3/4 HP motor, grooved drum, and cable tensioning system.
• Aut-O-Loc 2 Safety Straps: Draper’s Aut-O-Loc 2™ Backstop Safety Strap is designed to engage instantly to protect players and spectators. Aut-O-Loc 2™ is actuated by speed or inertia in order to stop a load from failing due to sudden failure in the backstop lifting system.

Powder Coat Finish

Draper is one of the few basketball backstop manufacturers that provides a powder coat finish as standard. Powder-coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading and wearing than other finishes. The superior durability of powder coat means Draper athletic equipment arrives on-site with a much better appearance, virtually eliminating the need for touch-ups and repainting.

Models

Draper manufactures several models of basketball backstops. From height to the suspension system, the suitable model for each project will depend on a thorough analysis of the requirements and conditions of the basketball court where the backstops are to be installed.

Variables

1. Suspension system: there are two ways to suspend the backstops- ceiling suspended or wall-mounted.
2. Folding method: there are four methods of folding the backstops: forward, rear, side and up. If the backdrop doesn't fold, it is stationary.
3. Stems: there are two types of stems; straight main stem and bent stem.
4. Height: the height indicates the distance from the court floor to the point of attachment of the basketball backdrops.
