Ditch Hitch
Ditch Hitch® Is Serious About Vehicle Recovery
The Ditch Hitch® is the only vehicle recovery system on the market certified by a Professional Engineer to be shock loaded. The forces involved in extracting a vehicle stuck in mud, snow or sand are enormous.
The Ditch Hitch® is the safest way to free a vehicle because it’s designed specifically for handling dynamic loads. Towing chains, straps with hooks and other systems can easily support heavy weight but they are only suitable for static -
load applications like winching and hoisting. They are prone to breaking under dynamic loads experienced during vehicle recovery.
Used in conjunction with nylon recovery straps or ropes with eyelets, no metal fixtures, the Ditch Hitch® eliminates the use of chains, slings with tail chains, tow ropes with hooks, shackles, trailer balls and pintle hitches etc. These items were never intended to withstand dynamic, shock load forces often needed to get unstuck.
