Description
Overview
The Avaro Weighted Sledge + Harness pairs a metal sled with a resistor harness the athlete wears while driving forward. Resistance comes from whatever plates you load on, which makes it adjustable across a squad without buying several pieces of kit.
It is a strength and speed tool from the Avaro range, designed in NZ. For harness resistance without a sled, see the Speed Resistor; for a broader set of drills in one purchase, look at the Speed Agility Kit.
Key benefits
- Resistance you control, by adding or removing weight plates.
- Fits standard weight-lifting plates, so use the plates your gym already has.
- Harness attached to the sled keeps hands free for a natural sprint action.
- Metal sled construction for repeated loaded pulls.
Who it's for
Suited to club and secondary-school coaches running speed & agility sessions for rugby union, rugby league, football (soccer) and athletics squads, and to trainers adding loaded sprints to conditioning. Start light with younger athletes and add plates as technique holds up under load.
Care, safety and set-up
Load plates evenly and check the harness attachment before each pull. Store the sled under cover and wipe it down after wet sessions. Covered by the store's 12-month guarantee.
