Not sure how many of you have heard of our new product (or us for that matter). So let me introduce myself. My name is Kevin, and I work for a company called In The Ditch Towing Products. We are a manufacturing company that is coming out with a whole line of innovative towing accessories. The goal is to create the products that towers are always asking about. Things to make the job easier and safer.
One of the best ways to achieve that goal is to ask you guys and gals what you think of our products. So here is our main product (I will introduce our others within a week or so).
The Speed Dolly is a new self loading dolly that is approximately 9 lb lighter per side than the leading competitor.(Think about all the towers with back problems! ) It also has an over center action that allows you to lock and unlock the tires without fear of the bar slipping out of your hands.
Please check out the pics and our website www.intheditch.com
1. front of dolly
2. rear of dolly
3. locked in stowed position (keeps the tires from flopping around when carrying)
4. The detent holds the tires in a position that allows the tower to position the dolly by rolling the tires.
5. This shows the over center position. This allows you to lock or unlock the tire without having to worry about it swinging around at you (that is only on level ground though)
6. locked and loaded position. ready to tow!
please ask some questions, that is why I am here.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, welcome to ITOW Talk.
Let me say the dolly looks great. The over center feature certainly adds a bit of safety, and 9 lbs. lighter is amazing.
How much lift in inches do they provide, and how were you able to save 9 lbs.?
Bill,
They have 6.5"-7" of lift.
We shaved weight in several ways, the biggest was the main tube grew from a 2x2 to a 2.5x2.5 with a thinner wall. Same strength only lighter. We also shaved weight from the hubs. The older models have a five bolt hub, which isn't needed for this application. The four bolt hub also gives you a better choice in rims. The last big thing we did was to simplify the whole mechanism. Just reducing parts.
If you have any more questions please let me know. I would be happy to answer them.
Thanks,
Kevin
they look pretty nice,how much?
