How to Move a Snowmobile

A snowmobile moves on a trailer or a truck sled deck, and the tricky parts are getting it up the ramp on a slick track and tying it down so the skis and track cannot shift. This guide covers open and enclosed trailers, the ski and rear tie-down method, and shipping a sled long distance.

Pro tip: Carbide-tipped skis can gouge ramps and decks. A ski mat or slick strips protect both.

Watch out: Do not gun a snowmobile up an icy ramp. A spinning track can throw the sled off the ramp and injure someone.
