In The Ditch has added a security feature to their Simple Dolly Mounts to discourage and ultimately prevent tow dolly theft on light-duty wreckers. The new Locking Simple Mount comes in three sizes—XD, Standard and Short—and, depending on the model, accommodates 5.70 or 4.80 wheels. Inserted over the dolly axle, the L-shaped retaining clip fits over the locking tab and is secured by a padlock or locking pin. These mounts are made from steel and come in a durable powder-coated finish. Each mount is sold individually so two brackets are required to make a set.
FAQ
Q: Which In The Ditch dolly models are compatible with the Simple Locking Mount?
A: The In The Ditch Simple Locking Dolly Mount is available in three distinct configurations to match your specific towing setup. The Standard and Short models are precision-engineered to fit the ITD Speed® Dolly with 4.80 tires. The XD model is specifically designed to fit the ITD XD™ Dolly with 5.70 tires.
Q: Can I replace my existing ITD brackets with the Simple Locking Mount without drilling new holes?
A: Yes. The mounting platform footprint of the Simple Locking Dolly Mount features an interchangeable modular footprint that is 100% identical to the premium ITD Integrated Speed® Mount and standard Speed® Mount series. This allows you to upgrade or swap brackets across your fleet using your existing truck deck drill patterns.
Q: What is the difference between the Standard and Short ITD Simple Locking Mount variations?
A: While both variants are designed exclusively for the ITD Speed® Dolly utilizing 4.80 tires, they feature different deck clearances. The Standard model has an overall height of 9.5 inches and a weight of 7 lbs. The Short model drops down to an overall height of 7.0 inches and a weight of 6 lbs., making it ideal for compact spaces or tight low-profile deck configurations.
Q: What material and finish are used to protect the ITD Simple Locking Mount from rust?
A: Each mount is manufactured from heavy-gauge structural steel built for rigorous commercial use. To prevent rust, corrosion and damage from road salt, moisture or heavy impacts, the steel is completely sealed in a rugged, weather-resistant Endurance Tuff Coat Black powder-coat finish.
