Where can I purchase a SidePuller®?

You can purchase your SidePuller® from any Authorized In The Ditch SidePuller® Distributor.
We do not sell directly to end-users but we would be glad to help you with any questions you may have.

Is the SP Series SidePuller® Patented?

Yes! Patented under US Patent No. 8192135B2

Why did you make the SP12,000™?

We designed the SP12,000™ because of the popularity of the 14 to 16 ton class of wreckers and larger Carriers. The SP12,000™ not only helps with recoveries off the side, in most cases it adds extra weight to the front axle of your truck, increasing towing capacities.  I don’t believe there is a single person who has installed an SP12,000™ on their truck that didn’t think it was a great decision.

Why didn't you just offer bigger winch on the SP9000™?

That would have been the easy way out, but quite simply it would not have been the right thing to do.  The SP12,000™ is designed for larger Chassis and has different loads imposed than the SP9000™. From the Frame Structure to the Stabilizer legs, everything needed to be bigger to sustain the increased loads.  The SP12,000™ was designed from a clean slate.   Every Component is matched for the rated pulls that will be imposed on it. We do not feel that there can be a one size fits all!

What Size of truck is the SP12,000™ designed to fit?

Class 7 Truck Chassis from 26,000 to 33,000 GVWR with Frame Heights Between 36” to 42” Tall.

Are there any other reasons I should not put the SP12,000™ on a Class 6 truck?

The SP12,000™ requires a taller frame height than most class 6 trucks offer. We dramatically increased the Stabilizer Legs over the SP9000™. If you use too low of a chassis there is a risk that the Stabilizer Feet may contact the ground while driving. Another reason is the size and strength of the frame and suspension. The frame and suspension components on a Class 6 Truck are not as big as a class 7 truck and may not support all the force an SP12,000™ can put on it.

Can I pull straight back from the center boom head of the SP12,000™?

Yes! That was one of the main things we wanted from the design. We wanted to be able to run a line straight from the center boom head of the SidePuller® straight back to the wrecker boom and have 3 lines off your boom. This would be very useful when picking with the 2 wrecker winch lines-you would have the 3rd SidePuller® line to rotate the casualty. Pulling from the Center Boom Head on a Carrier is a powerful Recovery tool once you learn all of the Tips and Tricks. Pulling from the Center Boom Head would be my first choice for most recoveries; it works fantastic.

What is the optional hook slide tray?

The optional hook slide tray is an option on the SP12,000™. The hook slide tray bolts on to the SidePuller® and allows the operator to place the winch line on it and slide the hook and wire rope to the other side of the truck. I would recommend that anyone putting an SP12,000™ on a wrecker order the optional Hook Slide Tray.

What about those who say you should put a 10,000lb winch on the SP9000™?

Well if they want a 10,000lb winch, why not go with 11,000lb, or better yet, why not a 50,000lb winch? I mean, where does it stop? If you need a bigger winch buy an SP12,000™ or an SP20,000™. These are models that were designed to do more work. Their structure size and strength were increased as well as chassis GVWR requirements to handle the increased loads. Putting a bigger winch on an SP9000™ is like putting two 4-barrel carburetors on a stock V6 engine and expecting a performance gain.

Explain The Differences between the SP12,000™ with Integrated Controls and the SP12,000™.

Let’s Start with the SP12,000™ with Integrated Controls. We made this unit to be a totally self-contained, plug and play unit. We have already installed the valve body and plumbed everything. We also pre-wired the Wireless Remote Control system. All you need to do is mount the SidePuller®, supply incoming Hydraulic Pressure, add a Return line and supply 12 volt Power. That’s it; we’ve done everything else.

Now let’s talk about the SP12,000™. When you order a new wrecker or carrier from a manufacturer, you can have it equipped with extra controls.  These controls are generally factory installed near the rear of the chassis.  We offer the SP12,000™ without integrated controls (which means that this unit does not include a Valve Body or wireless remote control), for those who wish to plumb these factory-installed controls directly to their SP12,000™.  All that is needed is to run hydraulic hoses from your wrecker or carrier’s valve body to the SP Stabilizer Leg Cylinders and Winch. This is a job that we recommend that you turn to your local Towing Equipment Dealership to do.

Why Should I buy an In The Ditch SidePuller®?

Nobody has been building the SidePuller® longer than us. We are not only the original inventors with a US Patent, but we have more years in the field and have perfected the design by listening to our customers. Point blank, we build the Best SidePuller® you can buy, and we back it with our love for the Towing Industry and our Commitment to you to not let you down.
