T-REX® Americana Manual Portable Basketball System
Bison now offers the T-Rex portable basketball system, designed for all levels of play, from elite FIBA-sanctioned international competitions to intramural and recreational leagues. Every T-Rex portable features cutting-edge extension spring counterbalance technology, ensuring easy, fast, and safe adjustments for raising, lowering, and storage. The system’s pivot points operate smoothly with zero-maintenance, self-lubricating bearings and chrome-plated steel axles. The weight ballast is discreetly concealed within a covered containment cell, while the narrow-profile uprights minimize visual distractions for fans or media behind the system. Equipped with durable 8” x 2” floor-friendly casters in various configurations depending on the model, the T-Rex is easy to move. When in transport mode, all T-Rex portables can roll through any doorway that is at least 84” high and 78” wide.
Americana™ offers all the features desired by most Division I college programs and meets or exceeds all NCAA and National High School Federation rules. Americana portables feature an 8′ safe play area and our Automatic Base Control System that makes set up and transport as easy as ABC. Just “A” roll the unit to its predetermined location on the playing surface and raise the backboard into its playing position, “B” ensure that the front locator pins are properly inserted into the floor and “C” attach the rear safety hold down system. Manual base control system also available when wall, bleachers or other obstacles are present at rear of base.
Americana comes complete with a lifetime warranty official glass backboard, direct beam mount Baseline™ 180° breakaway goal, DuraSkin® backboard padding, high density vinyl upholstered base and beam padding, rear safety hold down system and a vibration deadening device to maximize system rigidity. All steel base components have a standard bright white powder coated finish but can be ordered in a wide array of additional colors at an additional cost. Add ABC50 for custom padding graphics. T-Rex Americana is approved for FIBA LEVEL 2 competition.
This system includes a manual ABC system for situations with less space than shown in the chart below. Order BA898AGA for standard automatic ABC system.
