The Aut-O-Loc is industry standard for overhead gymnasium safety. The safety belt is the ideal safeguard to keep folded basketball backstops from accidentally falling and causing injury to spectators and players. A fully automatic reset eliminates the need for handles, ropes, levers or buttons. It also features positive locking that is set by inertial and/or centrifugal force. Complete with 35 feet of belting which has been tested to 1500 pounds of free fall load, and a universal mounting bracket for ease of installation.
The Aut-O-Loc Safety Strap is also used on the Retractable Stages and the Electric Fold Curtains

The Aut-O-Loc is uniquely engineered to provide two-fold protection in the event of a backstop fall. First, the patented inertia plate senses the centrifugal force of a fall. Then it engages three unique steel pawls that each lock into the teeth of the cast housing. It instantly stops the load before it gains momentum, damages the gymnasium structure, or, worse, injures players and spectators.
