Factory versions of snowmobile tilters are not cheap. But with such a system, storing and moving the snowmobile is really much more convenient.
In this review, the author tells how to make a reliable tilting trolley with your own hands and avoid possible errors in the work.
First you need to inspect the bottom of the snowmobile and find the stop. Work will occur according to the given sizes.
At the stop points, the pipe must be round so as not to damage the snowmobile. If you have only square pipes at your disposal, you can weld the round trimming halves. Choose a rack height so that the skis do not touch the floor.
The main stages of work
After all measurements, we proceed to pipe cutting and welding. For ease of movement, a lever can be added to the stand.
Whether to make it a separate support day or use the wheel support - depends on the size of the device.
You can also swivel between the pipes to make the device foldable. The hinge for this is very durable.
Now the tilter can be painted. Insert the wheels into the supports and check if it is easy to operate.
When choosing wheels, it is very important to look at what weight they are designed for and choose with a margin. In places of a snowmobile stop, sheathe the pipe with plastic.
To get started, carefully check the stand by moving the snowmobile on it in different directions.
Problems may arise with the rear wheel and articulation. The tilter passed the test? So, the work is over, and you can use this home-made device.
