Title: Sled Storage - not an invention but modification applied....
Post by: Downthehole on November 09, 2015, 09:48:58 AM

All,

I thought I'd share this option for anyone who has space constraints and wants to store ice fishing gear. I installed this RACOR storage solution (Photo below) about 6 weeks ago and have to say that I'm very impressed with it. The shelf winds up and down using a winch that can be driven by a battery drill. To load the sled I just back my truck into the garage and slide the sled off the shelf and onto the tuck. Unloading is as simple - just the reverse. The shelf can hold up to 200lbs and cost $130. It took 2hrs to install the unit however; this time was extended do to installing 2x4"s  to accommodate joist spacing issues.

I modified the shelf by cable tying a sheet of plexiglass to the shelf - this will help sliding the sled on/off (especially when I get runners for the sled).

A good solution if you have space issues like I do.

Andy
