I did build one based on yours for a small trailer I have - needed a loader because my son's snowmobile wasn't running. Fun project, and it works great! Thanks very much for the design. I have pictures if you want to see it.
I wrenched my back some years ago helping a guy load a snowmobile. The twisting motion is so bad for the back. This idea is great. It can be done safely at night when people are tired, in a hurry and just want to get out of the bush. Thanks for posting.
Nice job. Critical thinking, problem solving, and mechanical skills all in one project. We need more of this happening in our country. Thanks for sharing
Great work, having guys like yourself around make the lives of the less imaginative just a little bit easier. Thx mate im gonna put one of these together this weekend.
Hey Rednic79 , This is about the most ingenious way ever to load a sled on a pickup.... I am 66 yrs. old and have been pissing around trying to get machines onto trucks for years..... You are wise beyond your years my young friend.... WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA !! Thank You so much for posting this !! What else are you working on ??
well its winter here in Winnipeg so I'm working on snow removal stuff, and my ice fishing shack. I'd like to make a snowblower for my truck, still tossing around ideas on that one. thanks L.E.K.
I build and fabricate stuff, so I've got to hand it to you.... That is the simplest, but most effective loading and unloading system I've seen. I would estimate that this could be built for under $100, and would be easy to build and install. I could see this being used on landscape and utility trailers. It looks like it would be a nice weekend project.
That is pretty dang cool. I've been trying to figure out how to get my wave runners on my trailer in super low water. This gives me an idea or two!!! A friend of mine had a sled bed (home made out of some 2xs and plywood) with no headache rack. He ran his skis thru his back window one time!
Thats ingenious!The cheap ramps suck and are dangerous. Have built decks and ramps and tailgates, all to haul long sleds on short trucks. This looks much simpler, and a longer u will allow gate to stay on truck. Great for loading all kinds of things. Gin pole comes to mind. May try building it for a buddy.
I was gonna build something like that I was looking on TH-cam for ideas I'm using your setup bro that perfect for what I'm doing snowmobiles and quads on my trailer and pickup great idea
Dude! That was slicker than shit! Friendly Manitoban "Simple as That" ingenuity! No ramps to mess with and didn't take too long either. A little electric winch would probably make this a marketable product for the Dragon's Den and could likely be adapted for other things(atv, small boats, etc)
well, that's a great idea. i like that you used tubes sliding in on each other. I'll send this to my son. he has a pickup and a sled that i'm sure he could use this on.
Love it. One man does the work of 3 if he uses his brain and building skills instead of his brawn and muscles power. Keep up the good work and I hope next time to see an adapter for the cordless drill to crank the handle ; ) I like your how you make your work easier.
I thought that was a cool little rig you made It must be great when you go out and just have your truck no trailer drop the sled do your thing and pack er back up in five mins or less. I love when people do cool stuff like this.
Well, here we are almost a dozen years later how would you say it held up pretty ingenious I must say .have you put an impact driver set up on it yet?✌🏻
my idea of simple is building a little snow hill and riding into the back. maybe if you run a snowmobile towing service this would be worth having in the bed of your truck. Or if you have a camper top you could get it in there without taking the top off. good idea.
You have an inventors mind if you need something all you have to do is start thinking and soon you have a plan haha love it !!! I am that way too have lots of inventions that I never have made i guess they are Ideals right now.But when i see a problem the gears in my head start turning and I think of ways to solve it.
AS AN PRO. ENGINEER I CAN RELATE TO THIS APPLICATION.. PRETTY DAMNED INGENIOUS IMO IT COULD BE MARKETABLE IF RIGHT EXPOSURE.. EITHER WAY .... WAY TO GO!
Ive been watching many of your vids. All I can say is excellent content and good use of the noggin on the lift lol... This would be a very marketable lift - make a couple to sell see what happens. I really dig the small wood stoves too:)
Nice job. Any after thoughts the first time she was first loaded? I think I'd opt out for a 2500 # 12 v. winch. Too much effort cranking that belted winch. One of the best I've ever seen.
+Robert Davis yeah the 12v winch would be good, although, at -40 they tend to not be as happy as a hand crank, which will never let ya down. don't thing i would change too much, maybe get rid of the chains that attach to the sled and replace them with straps so they don't mess any paint. thanks for checkin it out!
Nice invention! I agree with ATV winch suggestion. I've been using 3 ramps and it's a pain. Almost fell off ramps. I'd like to keep my tailgate on. So not possible to use your design.

Do you have any plans or bill of materials to go with your pictures?

Thanks! Where ya from?
Great idea ! Too many people making these monstrosity snowmobile sliding ramp things! This thing is perfect!
Freaking GENIUS! you should sell those! i'd buy one for sure
I want one, I'm in Grayson, SK! Hate loading sleds lol
Good old Manitoba enginuity,busted a gut for years lifting those suckers into a truck,this is super slick and simple!👍
Made in Manitoba to boot , love the simplicity of the design
Just seen this today for the first time. If I were you I would patented it before someone steals your idea . Awesome ! Thanks !
Your back is thanking you every time you load your sled now !
Smart and simple always the best !
I could see using this to load heavy stuff in general. Particularly things that aren't self propelled like generators or welders.
Great work, having guys like yourself around make the lives of the less imaginative just a little bit easier. Thx mate im gonna put one of these together this weekend.
cool, send me a picture if you make one....i have yet to see another one in action

I know this is an older video but wow what a great idea . No busting your back getting it on and off . Can use that lift for many items .
Kudos for ingenuity! And the simplicity of it is compelling. Thank you.

thanks man, yeah I use it to load rocks into the truck as well.... can actually pick up a fairly large rock too
Pretty ingenious right here! Might want to patent it soon before you see it in stores.
That what I wuz thinking.
Or just get a trailer
On and off my trailer , faster and safer , and I don't need a pos old Chevy to put that winch on.
Nicely done! Keeping it simple = Brilliant!
Some one buy this man a beer!!
That has to be one of the best contraptions I have ever seen..Very good job..
Thank God for great minds like yours. You just made my day.
thanks !
Dang that's sweet. Lays nice and flat in the bed when not in use too. That lift is 100% win!
Element of Kindness yeah for sure, the laying flat is quite nice
I made one. Worked like a champ. I did the electric winch since I had a spot for it on my headache rack already. Thanks for the idea.
sweet! glad it worked for you!
Man that is slick. I rely on the existence of snowbanks myself. Sometimes a partial bank plus a wheelie is necessary.
What a great job, How can anyone not like this?

Really impressed with the simplicity, you might have wished to have gotten a patent on that one... Well done
I think this is an excellent example of simple is better!!! thank you .
I was gonna build something like that I was looking on TH-cam for ideas I'm using your setup bro that perfect for what I'm doing snowmobiles and quads on my trailer and pickup great idea
Brilliant! The simplest ideas are always the best!
1 more step - setup the crank end so you can use a cordless drill.
Thanks! -Eric
Exactly what I was thinking…. Pretty much the only thing that could better this at home genius idea!!!
You better hurry up and get that patent. What a great ideal. That is an awesome lift that anybody can make out of there garage
Ingenious innovation! You’ll be on your way to millionaire status soon.
Great system. I wonder if a friction winch would be better? The best part is loading it with the beverage on the bumper.
As my back gets older I appreciate ideas where I don't have to strain. Impressive
Dude! That was slicker than shit! Friendly Manitoban "Simple as That" ingenuity!
No ramps to mess with and didn't take too long either. A little electric winch would probably make this a marketable product for the Dragon's Den and could likely be adapted for other things(atv, small boats, etc)
Cool idea really like it will have to build one . great to see someone that likes to invent things that works and are simple .
Very Clever. I love low cost solutions! Nice job on the demo
Excellent design man!! Tobin engineering at its finest..and ya didn't even spill your whiskey!!!!
Nice! We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Patent that and go into production, that is a great invention!
well, that's a great idea. i like that you used tubes sliding in on each other. I'll send this to my son. he has a pickup and a sled that i'm sure he could use this on.
Love it. One man does the work of 3 if he uses his brain and building skills instead of his brawn and muscles power. Keep up the good work and I hope next time to see an adapter for the cordless drill to crank the handle ; ) I like your how you make your work easier.
Brilliant as always. But you should get a b&s hooked up to the winch.
That man knows how to save money, very good idea.
That is so very clever. Just really really clever. I'm glad I stumbled on it.
sun burnt cool, I hope you can make use of it!
Interesting variation on the ‘gin pole’ systems that used to be so common in the oil patch. Well designed. Good job.
Wow! Simple and efficient. Congrats on a device that really works.(M.G., Qc.,Canada)
You Sir are a genius ! Thank you for sharing. I will be copying. Best solution I've seen.
Genius nothing like a little home made excellent creation
LOL....I live in Northern Ontario, that is awesome buddy!!
Very simple and effective, best of all you didn't use the nasty S word. An insult to snowmobiles. Good on you!
That was awesome! great design.....Take care, Bluefin.
+mustang774 thank you! you too
Wow. Very simple but effective. Thx I will be making my own with electric winch U really should patent and build em.
great idea man, and bonus points for not spilling your beer! LOL
+ragingbullwinkle Rocky never! :)
hahhah
Pretty slick Bud, didn,t even upset your Beer on the Bumper,lol....
Slick! Simple mechanical advantage. Good job!

Well, here we are almost a dozen years later how would you say it held up pretty ingenious I must say .have you put an impact driver set up on it yet?✌🏻
This would fit perfectly on my j20 jeep, I am gonna start right now! Thanks for the video.
+bandal494 right on! good luck on the project, thanks for watchin
Good idea. Im wondering why not make it fit onto the hinges for the tail gate?
I was gonna ask how you unload it, but you covered that!

thanks for the kind words man ! funny like you said...i think the hardest part is just getting motivated to start building !
By far the best idea on here
that is the most genius thing ive ever seen in my entire life
fantastic!
That's just slicker than snot on a rakehandle. Thank You. Great Thinking.
Awesome Fabricating Job !
AS AN PRO. ENGINEER I CAN RELATE TO THIS APPLICATION.. PRETTY DAMNED INGENIOUS IMO
IT COULD BE MARKETABLE IF RIGHT EXPOSURE.. EITHER WAY .... WAY TO GO!
wow, that is very cool, simple too....great idea
wow,so simple so cool . you are what makes you tube so great. thanks for sharing that! what's next ?
Saint Athiest hehe,thanks check out my channel, its kinda what im up to right now. th-cam.com/channels/1mKhRHboBqZtWReEAklCpg.html
Ive been watching many of your vids. All I can say is excellent content and good use of the noggin on the lift lol... This would be a very marketable lift - make a couple to sell see what happens. I really dig the small wood stoves too:)
Will this work on the mother-in-law?
hah, for lifting the body?
yes, but the only issue is that she'd be self-unloading....(and I don't want mine unloading on me :( )
hahahah l
@Rayden Gerardo hahahah you' are a good sport by the way good job
Great design and execution.
Great job and simple. Love it
Great rig......I used a similar one on my Argo for years to load moose aboard when hunting,but using an electric winch.
Nice. Tumbler of Rye on the bumper bro. Very cool. Thanks...
+drunkenlahey thanks! the rye helps me load... hah
wow great¹ i will construct same thing this week , absolutly genius , thanks man
unreal buddy, engineering genius
thanks for then support man, yeah good idea on the "slings". it would make it adapt to different styles of sleds. right on
very good idea thx man ill built mine this week it will save me a lot trouble and its so easy and costless to built
+mecanicman66 send me a picture if you build it. I have yet to see another one in action, and can wait. thanks!
Nice job. Any after thoughts the first time she was first loaded? I think I'd opt out for a 2500 # 12 v. winch. Too much effort cranking that belted winch. One of the best I've ever seen.

This man is so incredibly smart
well done. Excellent idea and so easy.
+Dj XeNos thanks!
Works great, and compact, even I can gather those materials here in Labrador.. Tks
hows the weather there right now? cold here in Winnipeg, but now enough snow for snowmobiles
this is an amazing design good job and thanks for sharing
thanks!
Thats God Damn awesome. If I were you a patent would be in order. It is a very good idea for sure.
Nice friggin job!!! That worked great!! Hope you got a patent for it... think you could make some money on that boss!!
Awesome....I know how I will be loading next year instead of risking my back using a make-shift ramp.
Very good my man.Easy and simple.
That's pretty awesome and I see your from Manitoba that's great I might just have to build one like that when I get my sled.
Nice. How about modifying for a cordless drill. Well done.
great job , glad to see you making it so easy,i suppose that can be applied for a trailer as well,,,,
yeah for sure....lots of things could be done with it right?
Wow, that's an incredible invention you got there, bud! Great job!!
super cool and well thought out!
I like that it is manual winch not cheap electric that is bound to break then how would you load your sled?
Nice invention! I agree with ATV winch suggestion. I've been using 3 ramps and it's a pain. Almost fell off ramps. I'd like to keep my tailgate on. So not possible to use your design.
+Sean Signer i have used it with the tailgate on actually, you just have to pop the ski tips over the gate. thanks for watching!
Dude you are a genius that is badass !!!👍🏼
That's pretty sweet! Nice job
That’s awesome man! Good job. I’m defiantly building one of those.
Great solution for a difficult task. 👍
Dang, that's a great set up
i love this set up!
