Frequently Asked Questions?
Why use a snowmobile rack?
A snowmobile rack allows you to carry the gear you want to bring with you up the mountain without wearing it physically on your back. A snowmobiler will always want to carry safety critical equipment in a backpack, but for the fun gear for skiing or snowboarding that gets too heavy and reduces the enjoyment of the day via the physical toll and incumbrance of riding.
How do skis or snowboards fit on the rack?
Each rack has pre-drilled holes aligned to fit either our ski holder or snowboard holder, so you can set your rack up for how you like to head downhill. One ski holder or snowboard holder can be fitted to either side, so a total of two carriers can be installed for two sets of skis, two snowboards, or one of each. Each ski or snowboard holder must be purchased separately.
How does the snowboard holder a snowboard?
There are two main elements. There is a covered bolting system to hold the skis up and support them tightly in three directions. A 3/8" stainless bolt fits into the side of the rack and is covered inside, outside, and from the bottom with a durable plastic sheath to protect the snowboard edges. Then there is the strapping system. This holds the snowboard down, so it doesn't bounce out while riding. This uses a combination of webbing, a protective and specialized rubber coating for cut resistance, and a snowboard buckle for tension. This allows for a very tight and secure hold of the snowboard that is easily manageable even with gloved hands, and durable enough to handle the tough environment that is the backcountry.
What makes Port Tack Racks Better than other options?
The main features of the Port Tack Racks system are durability, simplicity, safety, and price. Our racks are molded and welded perfectly to provide tremendous form stability. We have not had a rack fail in almost ten years, and the welding is beautiful. This is not an accident, as the design incorporates a rolled aluminum sheet and pre-rounded fittings for the pipe. Our welding is done in an aluminum-only weld shop, so there is no carbon contamination.
For safety, you'll notice all rounded corners of considerable radius. This avoids the very real risk of cutting which can occur from many of the CNC rack options available. When the sled rolls on top of the rider, or the rider gets slammed back into the rack from hitting a tree or other object, it is much safer to have the impact spread on a rounded surface than a surface that looks like a knife edge.
Finally, we stripped down the product requirements to the bare minimum, and have included everything needed and nothing extra to provide tremendous value to the community.
How long does shipping take?
