Your business production sleds

The word "sled" most of us immediately recalls the famous Soviet sledge with metal runners, wooden rails and removable backrests. In fact, there are many different sleds, which are made of different materials, have different functions and features. For example, for children older than 5-6 years are made a plastic sled. Sled-sled have a streamlined shape without backrest, armrests and pen-pusher. Meet the sled classic shape, but the greatest demand is for more modern models – single and double. Contemporary sled-sled made from lightweight high quality durable plastic, often have steel skids and rear handle. They can install a child seat.

The easiest and cheapest option sledges – sleds (worth about 100-150 p.). They represent a plastic lining for the descent from the hills. Depending on the manufacturer, can take various forms. Slides can be produced in the form of a trough, which is a body without runners with patterned seat and footrest. The trough has an ergonomically shaped recess, so such slides are developing good speed. For the convenience and security of using slides are often equipped with side handles and hand brake. There are also various modifications of the above models of sledges, including snow surfer wheels for downhill.

Another, more advanced kind of sled – snowmobile. The so-called managed a plastic sled with steering wheel and one or two skis, which are mounted in the housing Senegambia. Additionally, it sets the shock absorbers, impact protection, Parking lights, padded seat and an alarm. On sale are single and double models. From snegokatov the snowmobile lower weight since they are made mostly of plastic.





Cat in the classic sense are a sled on skis that are controlled with the steering wheel. Cat domestic production (for example, model "leopard", "Snow", "ARGAMAK") sold retail at the price from 1000 to 1500 rubles. Cat foreign manufacturers will cost twice as expensive. The high cost of the latter is due to the additional parts, which include lights, shock absorbers, foot brake, retractable tow, special seats and steering wheels, streamlined front wings, etc.

Inflatable sleds look like slides on an air cushion (round seat with side handles). There are even pneumococci, which are designed for very young riders. Sleds of this type (usually Western production) are made out of durable lightweight synthetic material. They are resistant to rollover and slide easily on the snow. Inflatable sled when folded, does not occupy much space and is compact enough inflation pump (hand or foot). However, it is possible to do without it.





Traditional sleds – metal model. The runners of these sleds are made of steel sheet, seat made of wooden slats and other parts are made of aluminium. These sledges are available with backrest (removable cast) and without it, with armrests, footrest, and even seat belts. They are equipped with ropes (cheaper but not safe) or a pen-pusher, which can be installed at both the front and rear. There are models with folding handle (though to rearrange it impossible). For convenience, the pen-pusher can cover a rubber cover (so that the hands do not slip and do not freeze). Runners can be both flat and of thin-walled pipe, covered with powder enamel that is resistant to low temperatures. Often these hollow tubes produced and the frame of the sled.





Experts are still arguing how to put the slats for the seat of the sled along or across. Many manufacturers try to please everyone, so produce models with longitudinal and transverse plates.

Modern child's sled, even equipped with wheels, by which the sled can now be easily roll not only on snow or ice, but on asphalt. Wheels can be either one or two pairs. The sled with one pair of wheels more simple and cheap. To ride these sleds, they should be tilted back (only when baby is facing mom). The sled with two pairs of wheels on: wheels move with the help of special mechanism.

Another kind of metal sleds – sled-chair. In design and appearance they are similar to regular stroller, but instead of wheels they have runners. These sledges are equipped with cover for the legs, canopy and seat belts. The main drawback of sledge-strollers – fixed position of the seat (that is they cannot decompose like regular stroller-walk), so they are suitable only for walking short distances. Cons metal sled: paint can oblasti with metal parts (this sin cheap models), which then begins to rust. In addition, some details of this sled (for example, foldable handles) are easily damaged and can not be repaired.





Recently on sale there are wooden sled. They look like the usual metal, only made entirely of wood. The bottom of the wooden runners of such sled attached steel plates to improve the sliding and increase the service life of the sled. Wooden sleds are a natural color (the natural color and texture of the wood, but to increase strength and impart additional properties, it is impregnated with special protective structures), or painted in bright colors or traditional painting. As a rule, wooden sledge fitted with a rope (sometimes a pen-pusher). Inexpensive models are made from birch wood or pine. More durable and expensive sled made from beech. The main disadvantage of such sled – great weight and bulkiness.

The cost of organizing production of the sled depends on what models you intend to produce. For example, for the production is quite simple and most common option is a metal sled you will need the following materials: metal corner, Board, paint, rope. You will also need to purchase a minimum set of tools (metalwork and painting, welding semi-automatic). Not do without the help of workers: clicker metal, welder, painter, carpenter, locksmith.

Of course, for production you will need a separate room. Previously, the majority of manufacturers of sleds used the equipment of the Soviet defense plants, producing other consumer goods. New companies have to start from scratch, looking for a suitable area for the workshop and warehouse and equipment.

However, even medium-sized enterprises do not carry out full cycle of works on production sleds on their own from the beginning to the end, preferring to enjoy a part of components from other manufacturers. And here arises the first difficulty. And to deal with them where no one expects. For example, domestic companies that are engaged in the manufacture of sleds, have trouble finding quality wooden planks used for Seating. They are made of wood of a certain quality, which is not as easy as it seems. The business of manufacturing sleds, as obviously seasonal, so large-scale woodworking enterprises unprofitable to take small, and even seasonal orders. And small firms can't provide to producers of the sled to the desired volume. Deserves special attention and quality metal parts including painting. In the last often save, which is unacceptable for a company that cares about its reputation.

Although the sleds seem at first glance quite simple (from the point of view of structure), their Assembly has many nuances, which knows only a real expert. The sled should be as durable, to withstand heavy loads and to have adequate manoeuvrability. Of great importance is the choice of materials. For example, sleds with aluminum runners are very easy and good glide, but their lifespan in active operation a small.

The production sleds as business from local entrepreneurs an ambiguous attitude. On the one hand, many of them believe that because of the snow (and even snowless) winters in most regions of Russia "sledge" business can only be considered as additional income. And not the fact that all investments will be quickly repaid. On the other hand, when it issued a rare snowy days in the winter months and sled just disappear from the market, as they immediately buy up the parents, many experts recognize that this business has potential. In fact, the potential of this market is huge, despite not being the best of the Russian winter, does not exceed the demand. Therefore, a certain level of competition here is still present. Although it is lower than in other segments, but not all new companies can survive in the market. The fact that many business owners sincerely believe the "business plans" that you can find online, and promises of large profits on sales of a couple of tens of thousands of sled during the season. In fact, to predict the demand on the sled in the next season not taken even the most experienced producers and industry experts.

Snowy winter companies can even sell the stale remnants of its products from the warehouses. But such winters are rare, even for the Central (and, especially, South) of Russia, so many new companies simply do not have time to recoup their production costs in a single season. As they say manufacturers of sleds, winter is considered bad if the snow does not fall until November. The production sleds requires a fairly large investment. The margin is quite low. This, and the inability to predict what will be next season due to weather conditions, significantly increases risks. Contracts with wholesale companies for the next season the producers of sledge conclude in February-March. At the same time they receive payment. Major sales have for the new year's season. After the holidays, even under favorable weather conditions large sales should be expected.

The failure of the manufacturers sleds are often associated with errors in product line. For example, there is a perception that the demand for traditional metal sled gradually reduced, and at the forefront of an entirely new model. Some newcomers refuse classic sled and begin to produce expensive models (for example, wood or wicker of wicker sledges), and... burned. However, other manufacturers have relied on specialized sleds of the same model (for example, sleds with wheels), on the contrary, get a good competitive advantage. Regardless of whether you plan to release something new or a traditional classical model, before starting work, conduct market research, study demand and wishes of your potential customers (mainly parents of children of preschool and younger school age). Although to listen to the users of your products should be after the start of production. As the experience of other successful and not so predecessors, people are willing to pay more for quality and convenience (extra features that will simplify their life). But the beauty and external attractiveness that interests them in the least.

Conventional sleds are retail for about 1000. More sophisticated modern models of domestic production will cost 2000-3000 rubles. Manufacturers sell their products to wholesale companies. Retail, as noted by the entrepreneurs themselves, directly sold by very few sleds, and even then mostly via the Internet.

If you are considering your future business as a temporary income, you will have to solve the problem depending on the season. This can be done by expanding the range and organization of parallel production "summer goods" (cultivators, carts, wheelbarrows, etc.). Ideally, the ratio of goods to your line should be equal to: 50% summer and 50% winter products.

For the organization of secondary production sleds will require about 5 million. The real payback period of 2 years under favorable conditions (snowy winter and the ability to anticipate consumer demand by offering them what they really want and what else not your competitors). published
