Sled buggies/movers

So give me the good and the bad on those two wheeled sled movers for the shop or garage. I don’t want cheap fall apart chit. I have dollies but also want a good moving apparatus.

Get the princess auto red one and completely customize it like I did and it's an absolute badass rig - welded 4" rubber Castor wheels on - riveted rubber to the cross beam along the front for bellypan - added 4x4 wood blocks to go under running boards to level sled - welded the end but on Jack and use a 3/4 impact Milwaukee to go up/down - used it this summer for a jetski rebuild also - I took wood blocks off and had the rubber by the jack wrapped around to protect the jetski bottom - wheeled it outside hooked garden hose to jetski - multi weapon - I should really patent my good ideas

Oh buddy - that is a 3000% upgrade from the crap metal ones it came with $15/EA for the castors at princess - weld em on there in the proper location so they don't rub the brackets - rolling and moving all the time - 2 castors have locks also like the stockers - I'm all about the customization at its finest - Triple T's Customs

Thanks guys but I’m not looking for a stand to work on my sleds. I want to move them up my drive way and into my garage.

Ahhh gotcha - i got these ones and I hate em because of the stupid cables - was gonna try modifying them to use chain instead - I made these other ones with castors they are rated for a **** tonne - not sure how they work yet when the track pushes them - could build em with non castors - I heard the ones that hook into your ski loop are the best for the over the counter ones

Pricess auto makes one for $170. We got one, it needs to modified to be usfull.

the handle to tighten down to the tunnel needs to be extended for a long track. This will also give better leverage for turning it around or pulling over rocks.

needs pins so that the ‘pads’ that the sled sit on don’t push out when moving it

tye pad material is too hard and they slip off very easily, wrap the pads in some soft rubber.

do these 3 mods and it works awesome.

Hmm I could use a good set of sled dollies. The tiny castor ones I have don’t cut it lol

princess auto brings them in once a year under $100 also.

ferniesnow · Sep 27, 2019

Yes Mike, that sort of thing. Looking for reviews/info on the makes that are out there.

So problem with these are that the freight is high coming from Royal. For that reason I worked a deal with Recreation Supply to carry them last season. I like them but found that when dragging the sled sideways they twist a bit and I found making up a short ratchet strap to pull the 2 frames together tight to the ski enabled the use even over rougher surfaces.

What length of sled do you use this with? With my 154 g4 I have an issue with the front being too heavy

The bar across the front doesnt touch the belly pan because the chain case and brake hit the bars running lengthwise

I think I'm going to have to make the bar across taller. So they don't contact those bars.

2015 xm 174 - I use the custom 4x6 blocks with bolts with holes drilled for snap pins

I’ve got a custom built sled mover. Over built but can move any sled. It runs on donut spare tires.

Great for moving the sled around but a bitch to store.
