Customer Comments
  • We have been providing the Ditch Hitch to our
    field operations and have received excellent
    feedback from those who have used them. The ditch
    hitch provides a safe, simple and effective way
    for connecting a tow strap to the vehicle.
  • British Petroleum
  • We now carry the Ditch Hitch in all our Peace
    Country Business unit vehicles, and with the
    addition of a specific procedure on where, when
    and how the Ditch Hitch is to be used we have all
    but eliminated "Towing Related" incidents.
  • Encana
  • The Ditch Hitch is safe, lightweight, user
    friendly and in my opinion, the best towing
    solution available today. Thanks for a great
    product.
  • Husky Energy
  • The Ditch Hitch is truly by far the safest
    recovery system that I have seen to date. The
    safety features and ratings you have engineered
    into this product are exceptional and I would
    recommend this product to anyone who would ever
    require to be towed.
