Shock Load Ready

Shock load is a sudden increase of load that has a hammering effect on your equipment. Shockloading can instantly increase the load beyond the capabilities of traditional towing equipment and cause accidents.

 

Shock loading for vehicle recovery is when you attach the stuck vehicle and the pulling vehicle together with the nylon strap, back up to the stuck vehicle then accelerate quickly to try to ‘jerk’ the vehicle out of where it is stuck.

 

The Ditch Hitch is the only engineered vehicle recovery system on the market designed specifically for shock load vehicle recovery. The Ditch Hitch’s capacity range is large enough to handle loads of up to 7 tons. Where other equipment breaks and falters under extreme pressure, the Ditch Hitch stays strong. Only weighing 7.5 lbs., the Ditch Hitch is expertly engineered to withstand 78,000 lbs! The Ditch Hitch’s strength, along with its swivelling design and “U” bar shape, makes it perfect for getting vehicles out of tough situations.
