Overview

The Pelican Nomad 40 is a utility sled designed for anyone who needs to move gear across snow and ice without fighting a flimsy, crack-prone plastic shell. Built from Pelican's heavy-duty RAM-X high-density polyethylene, the Nomad 40 absorbs impacts and resists the brittleness that plagues standard sleds in sub-zero conditions. The pre-molded HDPE runners on the bottom provide consistent tracking and reduce drag, letting you tow the sled over packed snow, frozen lakes, and icy trails with less effort. At just 4.6 pounds, it is light enough to carry one-handed when empty, yet its 90 lb rated capacity handles serious loads.

The 40-by-22.5-inch cargo area with 7-inch-deep sidewalls offers 44 liters of usable volume, enough for ice fishing tackle boxes, augers, bait buckets, firewood, or winter camping supplies. The included pull rope attaches to the front for towing by hand, snowmobile, or ATV, while side ropes running along the sled's edges provide convenient tie-down points for bungee cords or straps to keep cargo secure on uneven terrain. Whether you are hauling equipment to your ice fishing spot, dragging firewood back to camp, or pulling kids through the backyard after a snowfall, the Nomad 40 is built to handle it season after season.

  • 90 lb capacity may be insufficient for heavier loads like large ice fishing shelters or full coolers
  • No rigid cover or lid option to protect contents from snow or rain during transport
