In The Ditch Locking Pin for Simple Mounts
In The Ditch Simple Locking Dolly Mount
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.
Product Highlights
Fast & Simple Security
Locking down your gear is simple. Just set your Speed® Dolly or XD™ Dolly into the cradle and slide a standard padlock straight through the integrated eyelet positioned on top of the mount.
Interchangeable Modular Footprint
The mounting platform footprint is identical to the premium ITD Integrated Speed® Mount and standard Speed® Mount series. As a result, you can swap out or upgrade brackets across your fleet using your existing drill pattern without putting new holes in your truck deck.
Commercial-Grade Steel Fabrication
Each bracket is manufactured from heavy-gauge structural steel and covered in a weather-resistant black powder-coat finish. This rugged layer ensures maximum resistance to road salt, moisture, scratching and heavy impacts over years of service on the road.

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.

Why Choose a Tow Dolly?
Professionals working demanding shift schedules rely on instant loading, minimal storage footprint, and rugged build quality.

Are these tow dollies suitable for RVs?
No—these models are for front-wheel-drive cars and light trucks only. They are not designed for RV towing.
How do I maintain my tow dolly?
Check axle bearings, tires, straps, and hardware regularly. Use original replacement parts for best performance.
