Compact Style Provides Maximum Clearance
The Trak-Fold™ rear-folding backstop is designed to provide maximum clearance
over the main court playing area, leaving volleyball and badminton courts virtually
free of overhead obstructions. The Trak-Fold™ is designed for attachment
heights from 18' to 32' and can fold backward in a compact space which would not
accommodate a traditional rear-fold backstop.
Backstop superstructure is supported by fittings that have been tested as capable
of supporting a load exceeding 10,000 lbs. with a 60:1 safety factor. The carrier/hanger
assembly fully encompasses the track system for a structurally sound and safe
attachment. Porter’s proven Center-Strut® construction eliminates
the occurrence of shattered glass backboards by putting stress from crushing slam-dunks
on the mast and superstructure, not on the backboard.
V-guide with two-wheel carriers provides a unique tracking system, which allows
the adjustable hinge mast supports to move forward as the backboard folds compactly
against the wall. The sloped track weight-locks the backstop in the down position
making the entire system completely rigid while in play. Includes all of Porter’s
proven, high quality components including Center-Strut® vertical drop frame,
6-5/8" O.D. heavy wall structural steel, back brace assembly with folding
knee joint, adjustable hangers and electric operation. Available with optional
Powr-Touch™ or Sportsonic® operating systems.
