Rogue butcher sled. This sled has two load pins and is built for heavy loads to be pushed around. This sled has a considerable size and is, therefore, harder to store than a dog sled. This is the right choice when you want to make big burly Rugby players and NFL players move seemingly immovable objects. The full specifications are:
- Heavy Duty 11 gauge steel
- Dual Plate Horns at 10" High
- High/Low push/pull handles with strap hook
- Black Powder Coated frame
- Breaks down easily for Quick transport or storage

- Post spacing: 26-in.
- Dimensions: 46-in (L) x 30.5-in (W) x 36-in (H).

This is a big boy toy and needs space. Do not consider it when you can not exercise outdoors or have considerable space indoors.
Pros of the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled
Cons of the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled
While the size is great if you are looking for a big sled it can become a problem when you do not have the space to store the sled. Especially in a home gym, it can just get in the way as you will not use it as often as other equipment and can not just lean it against a wall like a dog sled to store it away.
As TITAN offers some of the cheapest equipment around that also comes with its perils. There is a higher possibility, that you have to force some of the parts as they do not fit snug. This can be fixed when you are a good handyman, but can also become so extreme, that you might question why you bought something new from TITAN rather than used from a different brand.
Alternatives to the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled
If you run a respectable home gym and want to add a sled, the
TITAN Pro sled might be a better choice from TITAN. If your goal is to add some resistance to your sprints and push a bit of weight around, the
TITAN Pro Sled is more than enough in capacity and offers more versatility while taking up less space.
The
low bar push pull drag sled from Rogue is a simple $100sled that comes with everything you need. It is simple and can be used with a harness or at the handle. A very cheap way of getting fit and not to be sneered at, especially if you only use low loads and find the
Pro Sled too expensive and the Heavy Duty sled too big.
The
power bar weighted sled with leash and harness is the ideal sled to keep in the back of your truck or car. If you like to take a sled outside to your favorite hill, this is the one to get. The plate pin can be collapsed so that it can be easily stored in tight spots. For the price of roughly $80, you can even consider getting more than one and just wreck them. The only downside is that this sled has a lower plate capacity and the metal drags directly on the ground.
Conclusion for the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled
The
heavy Duty high low push-pull sled from TITAN is a good choice if you want to save money, have space to run and store it, and just occasionally do heavy loads on it. If you have a team of players that will abuse this sled around the clock you might want to upgrade to the
Rogue butcher as it will last longer.
