Floe Trailer Salt Shield/Ramp Combo distributors..?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know a Minneapolis area distributor who sells these things at a "reasonable" price? I have a '99 Floe trailer and would like to add one. However, the price I'm being quoted by local Floe dealers makes me feel like I'm buying an entirely new trailer!

You're going to need a miracle to find one of those around for a decent price.

I have never seen the Floe ramp/sheild for sale used other than at a Flow dealer.

They know they'll get their price for it eventually.

Try making a reasonable offer and see if that works.

I have been looking too but am thinking of just making one out of plywood because of the cost. I plan on replacing the deck wood next summer so I figured I could try it and if doesn't work out no biggie. Has anyone tried making there own? Any tips would help.

We just built a wood salt shield for the front of my trailer..cost of the materials at home depot was around $90 for everything including the paint..basically its three triangle shaped trusses with plywood covering on them..we ran 2 by 2's arcross the bottom, middle and top and secured plywood on the front..easy and cheap...I can throw you a pic or two if you want...it's easily removable with two hitch pins on each side..very solid when mounted as well...

Jerkin'm-

Do you use this for a ramp as well, or just the salt shield? Can't imagine that 2x2's would support the weight of a snowmobile...but maybe with some 3/4 plywood that would work.

Would love to see some pics of your project as well. Thanks!

No idea on the price but from your post and my experience with aluminum trailers...BIG BANK!

Actually I'm going to guess....$699?

It's such a nice option to have though IMO!

I just don't see Flow allowing an after market or another manufactures product to fit their trailer with-out some serious modification.

My experience with Flow is they tend to be real proprietory "sp" with their accessories.

Good Luck and keep that back in shape for the time being.. DOAH!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
