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
Looks awesome Scott You wouldn't happen to have a material list and a sketch would you?? I would love to build this for next year. Thanks for the great video!!!
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.
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 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?
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.
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.
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.
Uploaded the design to sketchup warehouse.

@@keithr.parkison2092 PM me your email
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!
Dude yo your sled deck is sweet!
Thanks!
Love it! That must have taken a long time to fabricate and finish - looks amazeballs
Great job Scott. Thanks for your drawing. I am about half way done mine. Looks like lots of snow at your place. None here is Toronto.
click on the show more above in my comment section and there is a dropbox file. Good Luck, I love mine.
That’s pretty awesome!
this is pretty slick, easy to replicate I bet, nice job
Looks awesome Scott You wouldn't happen to have a material list and a sketch would you?? I would love to build this for next year. Thanks for the great video!!!
Sorry for the late reply. yes, in my comments above is a dropbox link for a sketchup file with parts list
very unique
You got your wheels from greyhub?! My family owns that company!
Any issues with it freezing up or large amounts of snow Jamming it and making it more difficult to use?

I reversed engineered his design from the video and made my own design changes

A full sized truck with a 8' bed. Aluminum ramp. Drive on , reverse off.
Simple, inexpensive

is there a plan still available with stock list I cannot see the whole plan on sketch up
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
Great sled deck what's the parts needed to make this . Great job.
the sketchup file lists the different parts.
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.
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.
Can you come closer
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
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.

I've found great handbook on woodprix website. Good solutions for everyone I think
Just perfect. Pure awesomeness!
Easy on the camera person, bro.
Should of rehursed your lines better
Sorry, A Single Trailer is alot easier and Safer
Why don't you just buy a trailer
Its just easier to carry a sled in the bed of a truck.
