Our sleds were designed by Don Cadwell, musher and Mechanical Engineer. Sled Dog Systems has been in business since 1995. Each sled is carefully handcrafted by Dan and Kim Schlosser.
Aluminum Frames We have custom tubing extruded for us by Alcoa in the USA. Frames are anodized in red, blue, or black. Custom finishes available.
Tru-Ski Runners We make our own runners using machines and tooling we developed. This allows a more traditional nose height and higher bridal. Runners come with a DuraSurf sintered ski base and sidewalls. We use ski-type composite construction with Carbon Fiber. Runners are cambered and flex tuned for best tracking & cornering and lowest drag. Custom stiffness tuning available.
Tool-less Runner Change Swap runners in minutes without tools. 3 pins are used to attach each runner to the frame. These pins can be removed without tools. With the runners removed, the frames fold down for storage or transport.
Spherical Joints Our sled designs are unique in that we use true spherical bearing joints in our cross braces. This enables the sled to rack while still maintaining precisely controlled runner paths. Smoother ride, better tracking, extreme cornering, less drag.
Rack-ability Our sleds rack nearly 30 degrees each way. Other sled manufacturers don’t specify rack-ability. We do because it is crucial to cornering capability. Rack stiffness is adjustable to suit your driving style.
Stainless Steel Brakes Our Dual Claw brake is made entirely from precision formed and TIG welded stainless steel. Replaceable carbide points are standard. Special elastomer mounting bushings won’t restrict the sled’s flexibility like regular rod ends.
