Porter Manual Center Strut Height Adjuster For Rectangular Boards

The Manual Center Strut Height Adjuster is the foundational height adjustment option in Porter’s center strut lineup — built for gyms that need dependable goal height control without the complexity or cost of electric motor systems. Operated directly using a manual crank or Porter’s optional Portable Operator Kit, it delivers precise height adjustment with a simple, proven mechanical design that requires minimal maintenance.

• Manual Crank Operation – Height adjustment is performed directly at the unit using a manual crank mechanism, making it the most straightforward and maintenance-free option in Porter’s height adjuster lineup — no electrical connections, no motor components, and no wiring requirements for installation
• Compatible with Portable Operator Kit – Works with Porter’s No. 00900-259 Portable Operator Kit, which allows one operator to perform height adjustments from a safer, more convenient position without a standard power drill, extending the usability of the manual system across larger facilities
• Full 8’0″ to 10’0″ Adjustment Range – Adjusts smoothly across the complete regulation basketball goal height range, accommodating youth, junior high, and varsity competition heights in the same gym without requiring additional equipment or hardware changes between sessions
• Center Strut Design for Rectangular Backboards – Engineered specifically for rectangular backboard configurations, providing a centered, balanced adjustment mechanism directly behind the board that maintains structural stability and backboard alignment throughout the full height adjustment range
• Compatible with Porter 500 and 600 Series Backstops – Designed to integrate directly with Porter’s 500 Line and 600 Series ceiling-suspended and wall-mounted backstop systems for rectangular backboard installations, ensuring proper mechanical fit and full manufacturer warranty coverage
