Anyone know where you can buy the good wheels for moving your sled around a garage. I thought they had some where you loop them over the skis and you can run the sled on anything with them?

Anyone know what I mean? The place I looked last only carry those crappy ones that are just tiny platforms that end up not working at all.

Couldn't find what I wanted to built my own from the Princess Auto Surplus bins. Experience says they are safe to atleast 30 mph on a grid road. :)
Obviously they don't pivot. We've been calling them monster trucks.

I have the crappy ones but i screwed 2x2s on both sides of the ski ones 15" long and a 2x4 hight wise for the rear so it fit between lugs 15" wide.

If your going up or down a angled driveway or will hit large cracks that the cut in concrete i just strap the skis ones on.

I ordered a couple of sets of Sure Grip Sled Dollies. They work pretty good and they're reasonably priced compared to the Timbersled ones. Here's a link to the website.

Sure Grip Dollies by Recreational Necessities | Roll your sled by hand using the sturdy, swivel track dolly, which makes them a helpful tool for your shop or trailer. Imagine no more heavy lifting, or getting off your sled to swing the back end aroun

If you're pretty handy you can go to castor land and get some wheels and then make your own. I've tried the Canadian Tire and Princess Auto ones, finally ended up making my own. If you want to drive them around on gravel I would make some like those "monster trucks" above.

I have a set of the PA ones and the Cdn Tire ignition ones, aside from the casters being a little small (cheap easy fix) the CT ones work pretty good even without being strapped on. The PA ones are garbage and fall off even on smooth surfaces.

Find a shopping cart cut basket off put under track if your more ambitious you could replace the fixed wheels with swivel wheels
