Draper custom designs each blacktop so the lateral sway braces intersect the main mast at approximately 54" above the goal (10" above the backboard) to ensure maximum rigidity. Draper does not use stock assemblies, we make them to fit your gym.

UL Listed Winches

F. UL Listed Winches

All Draper winches are listed by Underwriters Laboratories and feature a 1 HP motor, grooved drum, and cable tensioning system. Draper winches are protected by a five year warranty to ensure years of trouble free operation.

Polsilock Safety Belt

Draper's safety belts out perform the competition. They are self-checking, automatically resetting and virtually fail-safe. They feature stronger belts and faster arrest times than safety belts used by competitors.

Goal Brace

H. Goal Brace

Draper's goal brace connects the goal directly to the T-Frame, removing stress from the backboard and transferring it to the support structure. Use of a goal brace allows Draper to offer a lifetime warranty on any backboard.

Upper Bank Hanger

Upper Bank Hanger

Draper's upper bank hanger is designed to keep the backboard plumb and level even with the goal removed. Our bank hanger extends the backboard to the same distance on our height adjuster allowing for easy addition of this feature after the initial installation.
