The compact design makes it ideal for coaches, PTs and athletes who need professional-level equipment without transporting a heavy steel sled.
Why Choose a Portable Speed Sled?
Traditional steel sleds are an excellent choice for permanent gym installations, but they're heavy, bulky and difficult to transport. The Bulldog Gear Portable Speed Sled delivers the same adjustable resistance using Olympic weight plates while weighing just 1kg and folding flat for easy storage and transport.
Whether you're coaching on the field, training at home or travelling between facilities, the Portable Speed Sled gives you the flexibility to train anywhere without compromising performance.
