The PolyPod Snowcamper is a pre-fabricated, insulated, fibreglass sledge designed to be towed behind skidoos, quad bikes and other small ATVs. The windproof canopy is spacious enough for two people and provides excellent protection for delicate instruments and photographic equipment. It has been used for a variety of purposes in polar conditions for over 15 years, including filming in the Russian Arctic and in Antarctica.

With an attached stabilizer, units can be flown by helicopter, or used as punts without the canopy. The PolyPod canopy-covered sledge is ideal for any project requiring extended travel over snow, including expeditions, exploration, surveying or maintenance crews.

Features

• PolyPods are 3m long by 1.2 m wide by 1.6 high and consist of 5 pieces made from a composite of fibreglass and rigid polyurethane insulation, as well as a Kevlar and carbon fibre reinforced tow bar. Panels are bolted to the base and to each other, and secured to the ground with tie-down lines if necessary. For helicopter transport, a fibreglass stabilizer is attached to the tow-bar and tie-down lines also act as lifting strops.


• Windows are double-glazed polycarbonate panes, which are shockproof. The reinforced base can carry up to 500 kgs and travel at 50 km/h behind towing vehicles of 250 cc or more. The base is waterproof and can be towed across water or powered by an outboard motor. The canopy can also serve as a rigid tent. Each sledge has two ventilators, one in the door and one in the roof panel.


• All PolyPods are customized to suit specific requirements and are available in a range of colours. Basic assembly tools, bolts, sealant, tie-down lines, assembly instructions and brochures are supplied with each order.
