Homemade cantilever-style Single Sled Deck
Find the design here:
3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/a5c6c6b2-4dbd-4545-83fd-627451094d29/Cantilever-Sled-Deck
Special thanks to Cyrus Cosmo who's work inspired this one. th-cam.com/video/BKGFd5ONC2g/w-d-xo.html
Single sled deck, cantilever design so you can load your sled with one hand into your truck bed.
I made this under $500, the most expensive item is the caster wheels as they were custom from greyhub (crown tread). I'm sure stock casters would work, but the crown treads make it very smooth.
Note: to unload, you don't pull the deck all the way out, just to the pivot point (with pin in) and then release sled brake and it slides down.

Rio Tinto's Bingham Canyon Mine. One of the largest open pit mines in the world.
Easy on the camera person, bro.
Totally cool. Great for a sled that doesn't have reverse too. Thinking meat was used here.
Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks!
How about aluminum
That's my next project. While the deck works good (my caster wheels finally broke and I had to weld it together as a stop gap) it would be nice to half the weight with a lighter material and less beefy design.
You got your wheels from greyhub?! My family owns that company!
Great sled deck! I'm having a hard time figuring sketchup out. Would you mind sending me the plans to jasonkelley101@gmail.com? Anything you have would be great! Thanks!
Scott, just discovered this and we are already planning to build a deck , I’d like your plans , can you please email me the plans nepeanmanager@yahoo.ca thank you very much !!! Sweet ramp
Derek Chapman email sent. Check your inbox.
Any issues with it freezing up or large amounts of snow Jamming it and making it more difficult to use?
Jaycrash25 not really. You need to make sure your bed is clear if snow so the wheel slide. I did have caster wheel issues late last season where the cast iron lip broke off after 4 years. I’m thinking of replacing them with rubber wheels.
The file is not working for me, can you send the drawings and materials over email? bcherns204@gmail.com
A full sized truck with a 8' bed. Aluminum ramp. Drive on , reverse off. Simple, inexpensive

Uploaded the design to sketchup warehouse. 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/a5c6c6b2-4dbd-4545-83fd-627451094d29/Cantilever-Sled-Deck
Can you please email me the plans? I can not get the file to download. This is what I have been looking for. Built a deck and ramp last year but it is too far off the ground for me...thank you
@@keithr.parkison2092 PM me your email
Great deck Scott, could you please e-mail me the plans and material list, i cN’t Get it to open in drop box. mullalyg@gmail.com
Sorry, A Single Trailer is alot easier and Safer
Should of rehursed your lines better
I attempted to download your plans and it worked but unfortunately I cant open the file because my computers graphic card does not support the sketch up viewer. Is there a dumbed down version you can share or maybe a detailed build sheet with a material list? Or some screen grabs of the plans?
Wolfpackbountyhunters@gmail.com
Why don't you just buy a trailer
Its just easier to carry a sled in the bed of a truck.
Can you come closer
This looks great! Would you email me the plans to jasonkelley101@gmail.com? Thanks!
Damn Scott you truly kickass that looks sweet I would love to get the plans on this if you could . Inkslut_40@yahoo.com
very late reply but here you go: 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/a5c6c6b2-4dbd-4545-83fd-627451094d29/Cantilever-Sled-Deck
Hello, very nice work! You mention you bought the plastic slide material on Amazon, what search terms would I use to find that? Thanks, John
Your sled deck is sweet. Can you e-mail me the plans please? zerocool_6351@hotmail.com? Thanks and congrats again looks amazing.
That’s pretty awesome!
could i buy a set of these plans from you please...
They're free. Send me a PM with your email and I'll send them
I've found great handbook on woodprix website. Good solutions for everyone I think
Just perfect. Pure awesomeness!
Scott, looks like a project I can handle..nice job, looks I have same issue with sketchup as otherscan you email or PDF it to medsaudet@aol.com
dsaudet@aol.com
this is pretty slick, easy to replicate I bet, nice job
I really like how you do not "mount" it to the truck but use the receiver. Excellent work. Can you email me your plan as well? rgough64@yahoo.com. Also, tell me where you bought your stock. It's probably a harder steel than what Home Depot sells. Thank you!!
Robert G. Sent your the plans. I bought from Pacific steel. Never buy still from HD, find a local steel supplier and ask is they sell drops/remnants (remaining steel from another order). I did that for the shorter pieces and saved money. Also, of I were to do it again, 1x1 would be good enough for the cross members instead of the 2x1 i used.
Yes, I have a local fabricator where I can buy steel from. They actually just bent some aluminum tubing for me for the rear of my sled as I am fabricating a rear compartment to hold 1 or 2 small 2 gal gerry cans. LinkQ can prices are outrageous! Thank you for the plans. I'm going to try to make it so my tail gate can stay on which means I'll have to add a kick stand like support under the elbow that holds you entire assembly since it will stick out much further from the receiver. My sled is only 137 track length.
If you're willing to share plans I'd love to take a look! Thanks in advance! greg.grybas@gmail.com

hi Scott thank you . could you resend it for me please , i accidentally deleted it before i printed it off

Love it! That must have taken a long time to fabricate and finish - looks amazeballs
Could you email me a copy please? tiocareca@mydb3.com

Hey man really nice job! I watched the video on the other one and it looks like he has a bar that goes across the bottom and that stops the side to side rocking that you had in your design. Did you get a design from him? It doesn't look like he responsds much but you do. Thanks!!!
I thought about it but it was overkill. The hitch is more than strong enough to handle the bit of rocking. It does rock a bit through corners but it's not excessive. I tie strap it down for long trips for added stability. Yes I was inspired by the other video. I used it as the basis of my design.
I reversed engineered his design from the video and made my own design changes
This is great but,I cannot open the link to view the plans
i'll try to get the link working again. PM me for a direct email of the file if you want
okay updated the dropbox link. See the description section.
Hi, i too wad unable to open the file. It had a different extension; can you make it a PDF? It's s cool deck. Thx
You need to install sketchup. It's a free program.
Hi Scott. Same boat as everyone else. Cant get the dropbox to work. I know its a pain in the ass, but could use the plans. I travel a long ways, usually alone to meet with the boys to go riding. Live in the far north so this would work for me. If u could my email is turkster59@hotmail.com. If I didnt have to haul a trailer all over the place, would make my winter that much sweeter. Have snow right now but not quite enough.
Very good job, Any chance you could email me the plan betaevo250@hotmail.comStef
Cant seem to download the link...can you email me a copy to patrizioromeo17@yahoo.ca? Much appreciated...Thanks
Best check each state law reguarding a "load" extending beyound the normal length of the vehicle. My state this is illegal without a light for night travel or flag, even though the load is large enough to be easily seen.
Good point. I use DOT reflective tape on the back end and is less than 48" from the bumper. Where I live I'm legit. I had considered some small led brake lights but at the end I didn't need them.
for some reason, I am not able to look at the plans in your drop box. could you email a copy?
sure, but i need your email address.
Could you email me your plans for this. I can't view it on Dropbox. Mpam13@aol.com
Scott can you e mail me a copy of the plans ..and we shall go from there thank cradleofilth@gmail.com thank you very much
Great sled deck !!!!! Going to make one for my Arctic Cat TZ1 touring. Can you email me your plans and any pic's that would help. Thanks Chris nortoncgg@gmail.com
Hi scot, great video! I'm ready to build, can you please send plans to docbubba1@gmail.com? Thsnks in advance!
LOL... I just realized your name is also Scott... I used the flat strap down the sides of the deck to reduce the trip hazard and increase the stiffness of the deck edge, it is a 3”x1/8” flat bar and takes far less fitting to install. The guy I built the deck for wanted a low profile. Also if you unfold that 1”x1” you welded on yours you would find it weighs pretty close to the same but not as stiff. Not sure where you came up with 26 pounds lighter, a 1”x1”x1/8” unfolded is 4”x1/8” and you used far more lineal feet of that square tube than the strap I used... “Looks better” I guess works, if you like all the extra fitting and grinding work. The cross frames are 1”x1”x1/8” and spaced the same as the teeth on the snowmobile track. I did not use 1”x 2” because snowmobiles are not that heavy. The crown wheels were from a half ton I Beam trolley we bought local for about 45 bucks. So that was four crown wheels mounted to shafts with safety fingers for a bit over 10 bucks each. The link is an example of what I used. www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_18557_18557 I cut the trolley frame into four pieces and welded them to the tilt frame so that in the event of a wheel failure the tabs would keep the frame from coming apart. The guy I built the deck for wanted cheep, light and built in one day. Scott
The 26 lbs was from my original design - I had planned on 6" flat strap plus I used thinner gauge then 1/8" - 22 gauge for my square tubing on everything. I agree on using 1x1 instead of 2x1 - I wasn't sure about the strength at first and I wanted something longer for my long paddles to grab on to. If I were to do it again I would just use 1x1.
he had long paddles as well that is why I made the main frame rails wide so the treads would not be damaged. We spaced the cross pieces to match the tread. His sled would climb that frame like a ladder. That makes sense. your tubing would be lighter than the 1/8th I used. I suggested raised rails down the sides for tie down points and so forth but he wanted the deck to be as light as possible so he could move it himself. I used the flat bar to give the outter edge more stiffness and keep it low profile. I originally wanted to use aluminium but he about choked on the price of the stuff.
is there a plan still available with stock list I cannot see the whole plan on sketch up
Nice... Looks just like the one I built for a friend of mine 5 years ago... th-cam.com/video/BKGFd5ONC2g/w-d-xo.html&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Well yours was my main inspiration. I'm glad I can say thanks to you, your design was brilliant.
;-) Thank Ya for the compliment. The guy I built the deck for originally wanted some sort of winch to pull the deck into the bed. When I told him to balance the sled so he could pick it up by hand he was a bit skeptical. So I built a small mockup up, that was enough to go ahead with the build. The video he made does not show the outter edge of the deck clearly but I made the corners come to a point and backed um up with a bit of 1/4 flat bar. The points dig into the ice so when he backs up the truck the deck stays put.
very unique
scott do you have any pic of where the pins are located i cant seem to figure it out( i am a bit retarded) and also the wheels in the c-channel thanks ( toddlungman@gmail.com)
Sure next time I have my deck on my truck. It's been a crapy winter so far. The pins go through the wings on the c channel. Location wise that's up to your sled and the balance point.
thanks man
I haven't forgot. Loading my deck up this weekend and I'll send pics.
