Would like recommendations on a stand/lift, ones that are good, ones to stay away from.

I want to carry it in my trailer to warm up the sled and track in thw morning.

I have a pile of various track stands. The problem with the old school ones is that they do not work with a REV GEN 4/5 with the big upsweep on the bumper. Many of the current ones on the market push in hard on the snowflap.

The best I have found is the Easy Move Snowmobile Warm-Up Race Stand with Lift Handle. The "race" version has the wrap around aluminum side protectors, which you maybe do not need, but it seems to stiffen and strengthen the stand. The lift handle versions use leverage and make lifting easier. The hooks, however, are too small for most bumpers, so I use a short double loop soft strap / sling and wrap it around the bumper.


They are not cheap, but they are always at Hay Days and some other fall shows and have discounts and like dealing with Benjamin Franklin.

I have several of the Raider and other Chinesium Amazon knock-offs. Some will not lift high enough or they break and I have had to weld and repair and/or modify and reinforce several of my non-Easy Move stands.

I have this one, also from easy move carts. https://shop.eazymovecarts.com/Snowmobile-Crank-Stand-CS-1005.htm

I use it with my 2023 Enduro.

It's been great! It started bending and collapsing a some years ago, and I contacted the company. They met me at the Milwaukee snow show and gave me a new, improved part. I purchased this in 2008, yet they replaced it in 2020 without question.

Bombi' used to have a PN for a similar 1 back in the 80s & 90s. We fabbed a couple. Not the easiest if your trailer isn't huge. EZ Traxx made 1 years ago that broke down & you could actually take it w/ you i your saddlebag. I made 1 last fall & X@ of the snow flap interfering w/ the stand.

Ez move lifts and carts are excellent products. I've finally started to wear out parts on my lift and email asking to buy the replacement parts from them and they won't accept my money. Each time they email me asking for my address, then a few days later all the parts show up no questions asked. Customer service is excellent and I'd highly recommend them. This lift was used for personal and business use so it seen some serious use. Also ez move sled lift is one of the highest in height. Makes working on sleds even easier.

A few years ago I bought two snowmobile track lifts for our newer G4 sleds. Found out that they were a bit short. So I bought two boat trailer winches. Bolted it to the top of the lift stand. Then bolted the hook at the end of the strap to the lift hook.

This has served me well and is easier than using the handle. I can lock the winch and crank. Out unlock and lower.

Nice to see easy move has one pre made.
