Are you looking for a tower to suit your multipurpose court?
？Are you limited for space but want room for several sports activities on the court?
✔ Then you need a Raptor Side Swing Tower!
With only 1 hole to dig for a single pole, the Raptor Basketball Tower is used on Multipurpose Courts when various sports are being played, such as:
The Raptor can be set in line with the fence and also folds flat in line with the pole for optimal space and usage. The new aluminium main pole for the Raptor is considerably lighter allowing for less machinery/labour cost when installing allowing for additional cost savings. The main pole used to weigh 300Kg, and now with the new aluminium main pole it’s 95kg – reducing around 60% of the weight and making it easier to install.
Raptor 420: With a 34m long tennis court and 28m long basketball court, the Raptor 420 outreach from pole face to backboard face is 4.2m (3m from b/ball baseline to fence + 1.2m backboard overhang into b/ball court) when the pole is flush to the fence line.
Raptor 445: With an outreach of 4.45m, the Raptor 445 is suited to a 34.5m court.
Raptor E: For tennis courts longer then 34.5m, the longer extensions of Raptor E are used. For example, a 36m tennis court would require a Raptor E extension of 5.2m (4m from b/ball baseline to fence + 1.2m backboard overhang into b/ball court).
The Raptor 170 basketball unit has side swinging arms designed for play areas where the backboard needs to be swung out of the way when not in use. For example, on a tennis court where the basketball hoop would usually extend out above the service area.
The Raptor 170 extension arms hinges on a mounting plate which is bolted to the main pole. The twin arms allow the board to swing and remain parallel. Arms can be locked into position when in use and also when swung to the side.
The Raptor 170 also features the Full Size B1810p Polyboard Backboard and has a 1.7m outreach length from the pole, and is supplied with the R11b Pro Rim Ring + Net.
