Product Description

Gared Hoopmaster LT Portable Basketball Hoop — Model 9305 (5'6" Boom)

Overview

The Hoopmaster LT (Model 9305) is a spring-assisted, height-adjustable portable basketball system designed for side courts, intramurals, and competition. It features a 5'6" boom, an enclosed ballast base with vinyl padding for player safety, a 42" x 72" tempered glass backboard, breakaway rim, and a foldable design for compact indoor storage.

Benefits

  • Makes setup and height changes fast and effortless with a spring-lift system — less time adjusting, more time playing.
  • Provides a safer playing environment: padded base and backboard edge padding reduce injury risk around the unit.
  • Flexible for many user groups — presets for 8', 9', and 10' let you switch between youth, recreation, and competitive play quickly.
  • Stable and secure during play: heavy enclosed ballast plus tie-down anchors minimize movement so players can compete with confidence.
  • Saves indoor space — folds for compact storage and moves easily on non-marking casters.
  • Customizable branding — base padding can be decorated for team or sponsor visibility.
