Tred Sled Facelift

Once Design began to permeate the product line, it also exposed poor looking existing product.  This one, the Tred Sled, was basically black metal box, with a rubber tread.  Or at least that’s what your impression would be when you looked at it.  And the computer was impossibly inconvenient to use for either the coach or the player when it was nestled into the sled, flush with the tread surface.  It was just too far out of reach.

 So, the sides of the sled were revised with some shape, to resemble runners on a sled, to tie in our football line, and then given some relief, in the form of 45deg bends in the sheet metal, to also blend with the weight equipment.  That allowed for a cool 2 tone paint treatment with a seperate ”branding plate” which bolts on seperately, and allows much more maintenance room than the previous access doors.  And of course the computer moved to a functional position.
