Porter Rapid Lift is here!

Traditional backstop winches are a great fit for standard gymnasiums but when time is money, quick court transitions are a must. If your facility hosts back-to-back events and fast turnover is a priority, the Rapid Lift® winch is worth the investment. The Rapid Lift® winch lifts a basketball backstop up to three times faster than a traditional electric winch. It is engineered with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology, a built-in safety feature that ramps up at the start of the lift and slows down near the end.  VFD delivers smooth transitions which increases safety and winch longevity due to reduced wear on the mechanism.
