Here is the best snowmobile storage lift for your garage. Also can be used as an ATV lift. Move your sled/atv up and down with a push of a button via a winch.
Dimensions are in the video. Here is the parts list. Solid unistrut (20'), 1" steel bar, 2" x 1" steel tube, 2" x 1" steel channel, 4 linear bearings, winch, structural screws.
This one is currently holding a vintage snowmobile, 1976 Merc Trail Twister 440. Those are light sleds however this can hold the heaviest of heavy Arctic Cat 9000 Turbos Thundercat or Yamaha Sidewinder. No problem for 4 Stroke Turbos!
Hope you can make something similar! You won't regret it!

That is a very nice collection of sleds you have there! The lift is super cool ! Twould be great for atv's too. Might have to try that. Thanks for the vid!

That’s right, with some simple mods it could lift an ATV no problem. Helpful for an oil change lol

Love this design. Thinking of building one. Do you have any more details/ info on the rollers/ bearings you used that ride in the strut? Also have you thought of adding some sort of saftey stop block or something incase the winch was to let go?

I hope you build one, this is the best thing I added to my garage. Search for “1 5/8” unistrut rollers” and you will find different options.

Yes, when I first built it I used a safety stop but I got really comfortable now so I don’t. But I should. There are many easy stops. I used my overhead beam and had a strap to one of the arm. But if you don’t have the overhead beam you can simply drill a hole through the rail, under the roller, and put a strong bolt through it. Or a very simple stop, which I think I will do, is put a piece of wood in the tracks (unistrut) under the arms. It will hold it if the winch fails.

Would love to see you lift a full size sled. Where do you position the lift rails on the under side of the sleds? I am debating going your route or making as larger platform for the whole sled to sit on

You can make a platform by using bolting plywood to the arms. I was thinking that but it takes away from the look. With just the arms you get a nice view of the skid and track. The front arm goes under some support under the engine. Usually by the an arm on new sleds. And anywhere really under the track. Let me look for old pictures with a full sized heavy sled.

I was able to find one picture with a large Arctic Cat on it. I posted it on OneRide.com. Check it out.

Is there anything about the design you would change if you were to build another one?

@OneRide 2 ай бұрын

I can’t think of anything. It would be the same. Keep in mind your lift height would be restricted by the position of the winch. So you want it as high up as possible.

What winch did you use? Capacity?

@OneRide 2 ай бұрын

It’s just a small winch 660/1320 lbs. Pully the cable back to the winch to achieve the maximum 1320 lbs capacity. Princess Auto/Harbor Freight depending on what country you are in.
