Jaypro AUT-O-LOC 2 Backboard Safety Strap, SBAL-30

The Jaypro AUT-O-LOC 2, SBAL-30 basketball backboard safety strap provides unmatched protection by instantly engaging if a cable, clamp, winch, or supporting structure fails. Designed with a speed- and inertia-activated mechanism, it stops loads from falling in the event of sudden failure, giving facilities peace of mind. The backboard safety unit is rated for a 1000 lb load and features a 2" polyester belt with a 6000 lb breaking strength that can withstand a 1750 lb free-fall without failure. Its high tensile, heat-treated aluminum alloy housing and single-piece machined drum ensure lasting durability and corrosion resistance, while the locking mechanism remains ready at all times and engages within just 3" of belt travel. Operating at under 20 dB, it allows operators to clearly hear any unusual sounds from the winch or backstop. For versatility, the Aut-O-Loc 2 features a universal mount for 3-1/2" or 4" tubes in either parallel or perpendicular positioning, with self-aligning guide wheels to minimize damage during engagement. Multiple high-strength steel pawls provide secure, even load distribution, and the 35' retractable strap includes a bright warning strip for maximum payout indication, along with an automatic warning indicator that deploys when engaged. For safety assurance, the unit permanently locks after capturing a load exceeding 1000 lbs to prevent reuse of stressed components. Optional mounting kit includes wood mounting boards and mounting hardware.
