Caliber Multi-Glides Wide Double Set – 40 Feet (8 x 5-Foot Pieces)

Product Overview: Caliber Multi-Glides Wide Double Set (40′ Total)

Simplify loading and unloading your snowmobiles while entirely eliminating trailer deck damage with the industry-trusted Caliber Multi-Glides Wide Double Set (Part #13311 / Polaris OEM #2882974). Designed specifically to accommodate modern snowmobiles with aggressive setups, dual-runner skis, and wide stances, this comprehensive 40-foot track system provides frictionless transit on and off your trailer.

Whether you are hauling single-carbide trail sleds or heavy crossovers equipped with wide dual runners, standard wood or metal trailer decking takes a severe beating from sharp wear bars. Upgrading to Caliber Wide Multi-Glides protects your investment, prevents carbide dulling, and makes solo loading effortless.

Compatibility & Design Specs

Engineered for universal trailer integration and exceptional ski stance flexibility:

• Set Configuration: Double Set includes eight (8) 5-foot long pieces for a total of 40 feet of glide track (ideal for standard 10-foot double snowmobile trailers).

• Track Width: Extra-wide profile (8 inches / 6.5-inch channel) designed to easily accommodate all types of dual-runner skis and aggressive wear bars.

• Ski Stance Variance: Accommodates snowmobiles with up to 11 inches of ski stance variance, allowing you to haul different sleds on the same trailer layout without repositioning guides.

• Application: Open and enclosed snowmobile trailer decks, ramps, and tilt-beds.

How It Works & Functional Engineering

The multi-glides feature a deep, wide central channel design that physically suspends carbide runner bars directly above the bottom of the track.

Instead of your carbides gouging into wood or aluminum trailer planks, your ski plastics glide smoothly over the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) surface. This drastically cuts down the physical pull force required to winch or drive your sled into position.

Performance Benefits

Equipping your trailer with Caliber Wide Multi-Glides delivers immediate, practical advantages:

• Friction-Free Loading: Dramatically reduces the drag between snowmobile skis and trailer decking for effortless loading and unloading.

• Carbide Preservation: Suspends wear bars so your expensive carbides stay sharp and intact during transport.

• Ultimate Deck Protection: Eliminates gouges, splintering, and structural scarring on wood and aluminum trailer beds.

• Universal Dual-Runner Fit: Extra-wide channel prevents binding or catching for modern dual-carbide ski configurations.

Build Quality & Materials

Manufactured to withstand brutal sub-zero winter environments:

• Material: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic built to resist cracking, chipping, breaking, or wearing out even in extreme cold.

• Hardware: Includes a complete stainless steel fastening system specifically designed to allow for natural thermal expansion and contraction of the plastic glides across changing seasonal temperatures.

Installation Instructions

Mount your glide tracks quickly using basic hand tools:

1. Layout Design: Position the 5-foot glide sections symmetrically across your trailer deck to match your snowmobiles’ ski stances, leaving adequate spacing for safety.

2. Pre-Drill Holes: Use the pre-molded fastener recesses to mark and drill pilot holes into your trailer decking.

3. Fasten Securely: Install the included stainless steel mounting screws through the specialized expansion washers/slots. Do not overtighten, allowing the plastic room to shift naturally with temperature swings.

4. Test Alignment: Verify that both skis track cleanly down the center channels from the ramp all the way to the front tie-down bar.

Durability & Canadian Climate Resistance

Built specifically to endure freezing winter temperatures, heavy snow accumulation, ice buildup, and road salt spray, these HDPE glides resist UV degradation and structural brittleness season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will these accomodate dual-carbide runner skis?

A: Yes. The “Wide” version features a wider profile and deeper central channel built specifically to support all types of dual-runner and single-runner carbide setups.

Q: Does the kit include mounting hardware?

A: Yes. The double set includes all necessary stainless steel screws and fasteners designed for proper thermal expansion.

Q: Can I use these on a 12-foot trailer?

A: The 40-foot double set is optimized for standard 10-foot trailers. To cover a 12-foot trailer or loading ramps, separate extension kits (such as 30-inch pieces) are available.
