Sled deck safety

[Anvil1010]

I got a system too, but mine is heavy I’ll accept help. Depends who I’m with. It’s tag team if I got the right buddy but solo other than that.

We're still talking about ramps, right? lol.

It's always worse with help!!!

I have the telescoping ramp so I prefer to do it by myself as well

So this is a buddy of mine. The ramp the comes with the deck got busted and he is using a CFR ramp until it gets fixed. He unload like this but backed up to a loading ramp so it wasn't as steep to load.

Ah..................I got a little laugh at the last post Ray!

I don't know how old you are and I hope this is not an insult but it reminded me of this statement:

"old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance."

A little off topic. How do you lock your sleds up on the deck so some dirt bag don't steal it at the hotels?

Pad lock in the superclamps, it’s not going to stop a determined thief, but they’ll probably move on to the next

Lock superclamp.
Kryptonite cable aND lock through front suspension to headache rack.
To much to undo for the thieves.

That’s a good idea, I have 2 cables just sitting around

Having a little blue light from a truck alarm blinking in your front window will encourage thieves to move on to something easier as well

Always shake my head when I see a truck pull in to a parking spot. There was a guy in vale last trip, both sleds hanging out on to the dark road, free for the picking.

A fancy piece of chain (supposed to be non-grindable and bolt cutter proof) wrapped around the spindles of each sled and a big fancy movement sensitive alarm (110 decibles) type pad lock. Bought it at a motorcycle shop. Padlocks on the SuperClamps and back into the parking space in front of the room if possible. Keep window open and sleep with one ear listening.

The book the lock is sitting on is 8" x 10" so you can see the lock is a big one.

Holy Scheisse...that's a big one.

Doesn’t matter if you back in or pull in. If they want it. They will push it off the side or go right over the cab and wreck the truck. And no loss to them if sled or truck gets wrecked.


I’ve never personally had an issue. I lock the super clamps and then run a big thick chain through the front a arms and then to head ache rack. It’s real convenient, I just leave the chain up there during the whole trip

Agreed. I just lock the superclamp though. Backing in isn’t good enough as per the security footage in gp a couple years ago of a couple clowns pulling a sled right over the roof and hood of a pickup and dragging it down the street with a rope.

I remember that footage. Pretty eye opening the determination of some thieves.

I lock my super clamps not so much for my sled’s security, but so the clamps themselves don’t grow legs overnight..

Don't rely on a locked superclamp only as you can stand on it to lower hook and they pop off in 3 seconds....

Fair, however if I am parked beside a guy who does not have his clamp locked, it certainly makes him the easier target. The lock is a deterrent at that point.

As mentioned earlier, if a thief wants something that badly, they’re going to take it anyways. And will prob be carrying bolt cutters.
