Does anyone know of garage floor epoxy or other ideas that is Carbide resistant? I will probably be getting some trolleys for under the ski's for when the sled is in the garage, but wondering if there is anything out there that wont get chewed to chit bringing the sled in.

There is no epoxy that will stand up to carbides.

I don't know what kind of riding you do but I ditch the carbides and use mild steel runners. Never a problem with the concrete floor. Yes, I use two sets a winter but that is 60 days of riding. Not only the concrete in the shop but problems with creek crossings and sometimes in the staging areas early and late season.

Doesn't make sense that they even put carbides on mountain sleds to me. They should save those for the lake racers and trail sleds.

Don't think I'd even try, $3000 floor or $40 dollie? It's durable stuff, but wouldn't withstand carbides. I tested a corner of my epoxy floor with a small sledge 5 days after install, it took a pounding but still chipped.

We had a bay at the firehall done in epoxy as the salt/slush dripping off the ambulance really messed up the concrete. Its been maybe 8 months and it hasn't held up. The epoxy is lifting, plus its a damn skating rink with the smallest amount of water on it. I was really wanting to do my garage, but not a chance now.
Stay away from Epoxy. If you are looking to do a garage floor, look into a Polyaspartic coating. It is way more durable, and much more slip resistant ( with the proper grit added to it ). If you p.m me I can provide you with more and info and refer a couple contractors that apply it.

That is a great idea.
Riding buddies are all getting a set for xmas. Will save the trailer floor.
Have epoxy on the concrete floor of our store and it's very durable except when salt is added to the mix. I wouldn't use it in a garage where salt slush / brine is present.
Looks something to do with the concrete base though as the same epoxy coatings hold up well on steel / aluminum / fibreglass substrates in and around salt water.
