These are unpowered vehicles designed for being towed by motorized snow transportation. They are typically used for hauling cargo, equipment, or even passengers across snow-covered terrain. A common example includes a utility model used by researchers in remote areas to transport scientific instruments and supplies to field sites.
The utilization of such towed platforms significantly enhances the load-carrying capacity of a snowmobile, enabling the efficient transport of goods and personnel in winter environments. Historically, these devices evolved from simple wooden structures to more sophisticated designs incorporating durable materials and advanced suspension systems, contributing to improved stability and reduced stress on both the towing vehicle and the transported items.
