Gared Hoopmaster 9408 — Spring-Lift Collegiate/High School Portable Basketball Hoop

Overview

The Hoopmaster 9408 is a portable, spring-lift basketball backstop built for collegiate and high school competition. It features an 8' boom, a regulation 42" x 72" tempered glass backboard, a positive-lock breakaway rim, concealed spring mechanism and 1,000 lb ballast in a fully padded base. The unit folds for compact storage, rolls on non-marking casters and includes floor anchors and padding for player safety and branding.

Benefits

  • Ready for competition: provides a regulation, stable backstop suitable for FIBA, NCAA and NFHS play.
  • Less physical effort for staff: tensioned spring lift makes raising and lowering the unit balanced and easy.
  • Faster setup and takedown: folding design and casters speed transport and storage between events.
  • Safer playing environment: vinyl-covered padding on the base and front reduces impact risk for players.
  • Protects the court: floor protection and anchoring system secure the unit without damaging the surface.
  • Customizable appearance: padding accepts team colors and logos for consistent arena branding.
