The Sled Hauling and Delivery Process

There are many types of snowmobiles, and due to the varying designs and different chassis or frameworks for each model and size, not all of them are secured the same for the snowmobile shipment process. Whether you’re shipping your snowmobile to Sweden for Snocross or simply having it transported and relocated across the U.S., professional transporters will take care of the pickup and delivery, every step of the way using their experience and expertise. Simply follow the minor preparations (see below), tell us where you’re located and where you're headed, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Preparing Your Winter Vehicle to Ship

Preparing the snowmobile as asked by the snowmobile shipping companies is a very important responsibility and, if not done properly, could cause delays at the beginning of the process. While the transporter will handle the transportation process, they will ask that you have the vehicle ready for pick up. Most of the preparation is simple enough to do on your own, but doing what is asked of you will lessen the risks involved in shipping your sled, making sure the process goes as planned and ensuring safe delivery. The requirements, of course, will be slightly different depending on the type of snowmobile you have shipped, and the preparations you ask for may vary slightly from one company to another. Because of this, It’s highly advised that you consult with the snowmobile transport company before you begin to prepare it for transportation.

As a general overview of what you can expect, these are the most common things you’ll need to do:

Snowmobile Shipping Companies - snowmobile shipping trailer - knowledge of shipping
  • Some of the snowmobile's external parts, including the handlebars, belts, windscreen, and tie-downs, must be taken off to safely transport it. You may also be asked to remove any additional accessories, such as a ski-doo, if applicable. The transportation company may use skid blocks or toothed chains to secure the snowmobile in place during hauling. Rest assured, we can include the delivery of these items along with the snowmobile to ensure a hassle-free transportation experience.
  • Drain the fuel tank to no more than 1/4 full. This helps reduce the weight of the sled and guards against problems that can arise from leaks.
  • Clean the snowmobile and note any existing damages or scratches. This will give you something to compare to the condition it arrives in upon delivery, ensuring that it hasn’t been damaged during shipment. The shipper should do the same, and it’s not a bad idea to take photos of any dings so that you have a visual record.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
