Rider Tool & Manufacturing Co

General information

Our company began in 1968 with the creation of the ‘Rider’ snowmobile side-sled, a popular device that allowed snowmobile riders to bring along passengers in a safe, stable way. This device was trusted by hundreds of families as a way of letting young children enjoy the fun of taking a snowmobile ride without putting them in harm’s way. The initial design was further refined into the “Rider-Ambulance” model, which modified the sled for use by Oshawa St. John’s Ambulance dispatch teams. This model was made to medical-grade standards and was used to help transport patients comfortably and securely over the kind of troublesome winter terrain that was previously much more hazardous to cross. These origins speak to our company’s proven commitment to the highest standards of quality and safety.
