What's the highest you can raise the backboard with the elevator arms? I think I cemented my pole too deep.

I can raise it well above 10 feet. My sticker is not accurate, but I knew it would not be when I set mine up.

The rim adjusts from 7.5 feet up to the standard 10 ft. Our hoop is exactly that.

I raised the back to make it more level because the steep angle was too challenging for me. This helped. However, its near impossible to use the machine without holding the handle bars, because of the resistance. Could be dangerous, too.

As it is stock, you cannot adjust the bar height. But with a $30 Delta riser, you can raise the bars about 3". I wouldn't suggest raising the bars more than that. Also, if you go more than that, you will need to replace all the cables to accommodate the extra height.

The following was posted by someone else under the title "SCHWINN ELLIPTICAL FOOT HEIGHT". I have not confirmed it, but if it is true, it would seem that a seven foot ceiling would be high enough. If you live near a place that sells them and has them in stock (hard to find, I know) maybe you can find one and just measure it. ================================================================== M. A. Garver says: The pedal is approximately 15 inches off the floor at the highest point, but I think what you really need to know is the height from the floor at it's lowest point (8 inches) because when your foot is at the high point, that knee is bent so it's not like it's putting your head 15 inches closer to the ceiling, which I think is what you're really trying to figure out, right? Standing on the 430 you're going to be 8-9 inches taller than you are standing on the floor. Hope this helps!

Too bad no one can answer Ken's question.After a decade of service, my family & I and the local weather just managed to break a Lifetime backboard & hoop connected to a pole and base designed to stand up on or near a driveway. The pole is fine, and years ago I spent hours filling the base with sand to withstand the local winds and basketball fans, which it still does most of the time.Too bad I can't buy a replacement backboard and hoop guaranteed to fit my existing base and pole... especially since it is all... gasp... apparently Made in America!

You may not be able to do full range of motion chinups. I have a similar setup and I can't go down all the way on my chins and I most often only rise up to the point where my nose is at the bar to avoid hitting the ceiling. 6 ft tall.

With the uprights up as far as they'll go, from the bottom of my weight bar to the floor is 54 1/2 inches. Most weight I ever had on was 260lbs. Not sure how much the uprights will hold raised that high. Good luck & be safe

I'm not home, but I'm 6'4" and the top hold is too high for me for front/back squats. I use the 2nd highest one for that.

Reaching the bottom should be okay but any higher l doubt. Plus mine gave up and blew a gear lifting a Honda Odyssey.

55 inches? That's a real steep ramp. I was using 10 foot ramp for 6" rise, and that was ok.

We used this on a banner messuring 4X8 and lifted it about 6 or 7 feet, and it was not fully extended. I would say it could go up as high as 8ft and as wide as 10.

I believe there is another model made by the same company that extends to 9-10feet. You should probably buy that model. Our pole just reached our ceiling at 8.5 feet. hope this is helpful.

I think its about 18 inches off the floor at the high point so you should be fine there. I'd consider a different machine if I were you though. My brother's lasted about six months. Just long enough for the warranty to run out. If you're more than a casual exerciser pay a little more and get a better model. You'll be glad you did.

I do not know, however, this is a very sturdy backboard and support system. I agree with Eric. You might be able to break it if you tried hard enough like hanging on the rim or something like that, but I doubt you can hurt it with everyday normal/reasonable play.

Well, I count my higth, for example 6 feet+ 2feet for my extended arms + the length of the pole, in my case 9 feet. Adding all these comes to 17 feet from the ground. I hope this helps you. It is a very good product for the money (my opinion)

I have been using mine for almost 8 months and am so pleased with it. It can go as high as you want. Mine is up quite a bit and I still have lots of lift left. Its sturdy and solid. I also have a cooler plate under it as there is plenty of room for it. Think you will be pleased with it as I am
