[CRYOLIST] Recommendations for Design and Build of a Radar Survey Sled

Dear Cryolisters,


I'm seeking recommendations for companies or individuals with proven ability in designing and building robust sleds for towing research equipment by snowmobile or snowcat over ice and snow. In survey mode, the radar and supporting equipment is tall and heavy, so a solid aluminum sled is preferred over a traditional komatik- or Nansen-style sled.


Please contact me (randy@uvic.ca) if you have any good suggestions.


With thanks,
Randy
