Jaypro Backboard Safety Strap, PL-1000

The Jaypro PL-1000 Backboard Safety Strap is a fail-safe, speed-sensitive device designed to automatically lock a basketball backstop in place during a hoisting or storage position malfunction. This mechanism immediately activates to stop the load, whether due to a sudden drop or a gradual increase in speed, ensuring the safety of wall or ceiling-mounted basketball hoops. Constructed with high-strength, powder-coated steel components, the PL-1000 safety strap features a self-checking, constant-motion mechanism that actively confirms safe reel speed six times per revolution. The heavy-duty 2" x 40' strap is rated for a 7,300 lb. load and is capable of supporting 1000 lbs. of falling weight without failure. A unique telltale indicator visually notifies the user if the safety belt has been called into action. The unit incorporates a fully automatic reset and a special negator-type constant force spring for automatic strap retraction. With versatile mounting options, it fits 3-1/2" OD support pipes or 4"-to-8" wide beams, and measures 9-5/8"W x 3"D x 16"H. An optional mounting kit includes a 7 ga. steel bracket, hardware, and a 2" x 8" pine stringer with pre-drilled holes, finished edges, and two coats of clear lacquer.
