Specifications—EZ Fold TF-20
Ceiling-Suspended, Forward-Folding Backstop (Under 28'-4")
Product Description
Basketball backstop shall be the EZ FOLD TF-20, ceiling-suspended, forward-
folding as manufactured by Draper, Inc. of Spiceland, IN and shall be installed
at locations shown on customer approval plan.
Backstops shall be a welded together main frame constructed from steel
mechanical tubing to form a rigid tetrahedral “T” design of back-to-back right
triangles.The main stem (center strut) shall be 6" OD 11-gauge steel tubing, the
top of the “T” shall be 4" OD 11-gauge steel tubing, and the side braces shall be
2¼" OD 14-gauge steel tubing. Side braces shall join stem no higher than 4'-6"
above goal. The main stem shall be of sufficient length to allow plus or minus 6"
height adjustment of either fan or rectangular banks.
The folding front brace shall be jackknife type, fully adjustable, self-locking in
the down position and constructed of 2½" OD 13-gauge (outer) steel tubing and
2¼" OD 14-gauge (inner) steel tubing.
The backstop shall be supported from 4" OD 11-gauge steel mechanical tubing
(as shown on plans) anchored to roof structure by means of heavy steel support
hangers. Superstructure tubes shall be reinforced with bridging and/or bracing
when truss centers exceed 8'-0".
Pivot or hinge joint (pin height) for folding shall not exceed 15" from roof structure
except when required by architect for coordination with other trades.
The main backstop frame shall pivot on 1¼" minimum solid steel shaft secured
in a milled bearing hole in ½" minimum steel plate hangers to insure accurate
positioning of bank.
The bank shall be attached to the 6" OD main stem by heavy-duty bank hang-
ers. Hangers shall be constructed of 2¼" OD 14-gauge steel tubing and ¼" x
2" flat steel plate with slotted holes for lateral adjustment. All glass banks shall
have one upper bank hanger and include a goal brace which attaches directly
to the goal mounting plate and directly to the 6" main stem of the backstop to
eliminate any strain on the bank and help prevent glass breakage. This direct
mount feature shall conform to NCAA recommendation No. 5-F (dated Mar. 82)
which states that the design of the unit shall transfer the load on the goal directly
to the backboard support so as to minimize stress to the glass backboard.
Backstop is raised or lowered by a ¼" (6.35 mm) aircraft cable, certified minimum
break strength of 7,000 pounds (3178 kg), operating over aluminum alloy sheaves
with bronze oilite bearings that do not require lubrication.
Backstop shall have a black or white powder coat finish. Other colors optionally
available: contact Draper for details.
Operation: Backstop shall be operated by 503085 motorized winch or 503086
manually operated winch. For complete specifications, see separate sheets.
