In The Ditch Side Pullers

Take up less room on the highway with the convenience and capacity of a Sidepuller from In The Ditch at Zip's AW Direct. A reliable companion to any heavy-duty wrecker or car carrier, these industrial add-ons give tow operators the pulling angle they need without taking up too much room on the highway. Working from the shoulder, they help keep traffic flowing at your recovery scene and keep operators safely tucked away from passing motorists. Equipped with a swiveling center boom, these powerful Sidepullers can also help improve the efficiency of your recovery, especially when working in tight spaces or on narrow roads. The adjustable galvanized self-leveling feet keep everything stable, so operators can confidently pull from any direction. Choose from four winch sizes to fit most types of wreckers and car carriers. Scroll down to see all of the Sidepuller highlights below, including options for integrated controls, wireless remote and a dress-up kit.

Product Highlights:

Pull From Any Angle: The swiveling center boom head allows operators to perform recoveries from virtually any direction. This flexibility eliminates the need to reposition the truck, saves time on the job, and provides precise control for even the most challenging pulls.

Self Leveling Feet: Every Sidepuller comes equipped with galvanized self-leveling feet that ensure optimal stability on any surface. These feet automatically adjust to uneven terrain, keeping the truck steady during recoveries and reducing the risk of tipping or shifting.

Side Recovery Capability:  The side recovery boom head gives operators the power to safely and efficiently recover vehicles from embankments, ditches, and other challenging terrain. Its design allows controlled pulls from the side, reaching areas that traditional recovery equipment cannot access.

Quick, Safe Setup: The Sidepuller features a clearly marked Recovery Zone on the Side Recovery Boom Head, allowing operators to quickly determine the optimal angle for a pull. With an adjacent Danger Zone clearly indicated, there is no guesswork. Operators always know when they are within a safe operating range, reducing risk and improving efficiency.

Powder Coat Finish: Features a high-quality, durable finish designed to withstand tough conditions. The environmentally friendly coating enhances corrosion resistance and overall product longevity.

Pre-Installed Integrated Controls: Integrated Controls lets operators manage the stabilizer legs and winch remotely with a wireless remote, making every recovery faster and easier. The units come pre-plumbed and ready to install, and this convenient feature comes standard on the SP20,000 model, giving your customers a plug-and-play solution straight from the floor.

Controls:

Integrated Controls: All SidePuller models can be ordered with or without Integrated Controls, giving operators the option to choose the setup that best fits their workflow. To note, the SP20,000 model comes standard with Integrated Controls. Wireless Remote Control: All models can be equipped with a wireless remote, allowing operators to control stabilizer legs and the winch from a safe distance.
