Bison ZipCrank Basketball System

The front-crank mechanism is located on the front of the pole, which allows you to adjust the hoop height without reaching behind the unit. This design is significantly more convenient and safer, especially if you have installed the hoop closer to a wall or fence where rear access is limited.

This system requires a direct bury installation, meaning the pole must be set into a concrete footing in the ground. It is not designed to be bolted onto an existing concrete slab, so you will need to plan for excavation and pouring new concrete.

Yes, the tempered glass is designed for outdoor use and is framed in aluminum to prevent rust and degradation. While it offers a professional-grade rebound, it is built to withstand the elements, provided it is installed correctly and maintained.

The system includes fitted pole padding, which is essential for protecting players during aggressive play or layups. You will need to provide your own tools for assembly and the concrete required for the direct bury installation.

A 54-inch backboard is an ideal middle ground for residential spaces. It provides enough surface area for realistic bank shots and practice without dominating a smaller driveway or requiring the massive footprint of a regulation 72-inch board.

Yes, the system features a breakaway rim, which is designed to flex under pressure. This helps protect both the backboard and the player's wrists during dunks, though we recommend avoiding hanging on the rim to ensure the long-term integrity of the mounting hardware.
