Our new safety freight toboggan kit is available in 2 sizes (8' and 10') and is constructed from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), with oiled hardwood (ash) crossbars attached by stainless steel screw. Intended for hauling winter camping gear, pulled by people on snowshoes or skis (not as a recreational toboggan), the included safety strapping and lashing system is highly reflective, and provides excellent visibility while on multi-use trails during short winter days and long winter nights, and can also be used in emergency situations to help signal for assistance.
The pull lines are attached relatively low at the front to provide efficient forward pull, with a little upward tension to ride over soft or deep snow. The pull harness uses rope and wider nylon seat-belt webbing, and the length of pull line is adjustable to suit personal preference, weather and terrain conditions. Position the harness where most comfortable; over either shoulder, across the chest or around the waist.
For downhill travel or crossing a slope a second person may be needed to “back rope” to impede free downhill run (or into the haulers legs), or to prevent the loaded toboggan from sliding sideways or rolling.
