Looks like worthwhile improvements. We bought the very first version that came out and its been on our truck for the past 10? years or so still going strong. We've always run off the side with a snatch block to get that rope down and around that outer pulley more to keep the outer boom head from swiveling and damaging the wire rope. Im sure raising that outer head now helps out a lot on that problem. The improvements made, while some small are the ones that people probably have been noticing they could use for a while. We see all companies in our area now installing some sort of sidepuller. I just don't see how we did it before as being very safe. I actually recovered a pickup about 25ft down in a ditch just this morning with our unit, didn't need a wrecker and only needed myself and the right equipment. There hasn't been a job in 10 years we've walked away from!
We sure do build them to last. The changes are really to just keep making towers life easier and safer. We are glad to hear your still enjoying yours. Stay safe!
That is such an impressive tool. I am stuck being able to afford the right equipment that I know I need. I know the business well enough that this is a money maker, but I can't afford it. I think your price is fair, but how do you get started with the right equipment. I have always had to work with run down fully appreciated equipment and home made toools. I pray that my hard works meets some luck. Very cleaver design. I am impressed, and that is something not easy to do with this old operator.
should make the light bar ends extendable.. so they are as narrow as the cab but can be pulled out only when you need them. a pull down rocker lever to unlock them
I can't get my winter mit in your grab handle, For insight from a work truck look to the International WorkStar, for inspiration from the driver door grab handle, big enough I can put my skidoo mits into.
Thank you Mike! We are very passionate about the industry, and put a lot of time and effort in designing equipment to make it safer and easier out there on the side of the road. Thanks for watching!
I'll say a few words about this we just got one of these with our new rig fantastic but we have side pullers on almost all our trucks.the only thing is I do like having the levers for the controls up by the cab now I can't just use the levers to help put away the stiff legs and the winch I constantly have to use the remote and it's waaaayyy harder to keep a eye on the stiff legs but still good deal the grab bars are way too small I also don't like the new head the old one worked better.all being said in our area we can't go without em they ROCK and car carriers make great recovery vehicles but you also need to be properly trained I can now look at casualties and pretty much grab anything works great doesn't take up much room and keeps the state patrol and local PD's happy I have used that dam thing more then once in a jam and it's always great having a spare winch u never know plus the first winter u have it it's already more then paid itself off !!! Thanks guys
Makes more sense to ask that question by checking their website and if still no price you email them an inquiry with truck info and location of delivery and such for a better quote.
That looks a fantastic piece of equipment. Good for Fire n Rescue vehicles as well. Very compact. Would want another set of landing legs that come further out. Just to transfer the pressure point further away from the winch vehicle
Hi Robert! We agree-they are very useful for Fire and Rescue vehicles. Wider the legs comes increased stability for sure. However, when we were designing it, we couldn't go over 102" wide or you can't legally drive down the road.
The outer boom head is probably the weakest link of this unit, I absolutely hate it. Almost everything you touch ends up outside of the "recovery zone" of the swivel head and you have to snatch block instead, and the little metal piece that closes off the sheave to capture the wire rope just falls off while driving down the road, I've lost 2 this way. It's a fantastic unit but it has some down sides, But i use it all the time and it's even made it through getting hit by a car in one of the legs and it's held up fine.
I honestly can't see this as being useful. So, you hook up to the car in the ditch, and pull it from the side. Now you have a car lined up to the side of your truck. .... Now what? You'll have to reposition the truck to pull the car onto your bed. Or, you could just angle the truck correctly the first time, hook onto the car, pull it straight onto the bed, strap it, and be on your way. A side puller really doesn't look to be useful for any application.
Before you get uncivilized and go to calling someone unintelligent, you should first ensure that your own comment actually makes sense. I'm assuming you're referring to the part where I said, "So, you hook up to the car in the ditch, and pull it from the side. Now you have a car lined up to the side of your truck. .... Now what?" If you suggest that the car be pulled onto the road, then, you still have the car facing sideways. Perhaps a diagram would be more helpful, but youtube comments aren't the most forum-like out there. But you still have a car facing sideways across a road, and you're still blocking both lanes doing that, taking even more time to pull once, reposition, then pull again. It would simply be far more efficient to just line up the back of the rollback to the vehicle to be pulled, hook on, pull straight onto the bed. And if there is a slight angle, that isn't a problem because rollback beds have chain slots to hold a pulley. (Pulley on a chain, specifically.) If you have a really tough pulling or lifting job, perhaps the best vehicle is not a rollback. Those can pull vehicles on their wheels, and if you don't mind dropping a vehicle onto its suspension, you can roll it back onto its wheels, then pull it onto the bed. Quite simply though, the best way to recover a vehicle in a ditch? Angle back, hook the pulley onto the far side of the bed, hook onto the car, pull onto the road, steer the car while still pulling, direct it onto the bed of the rollback, strap it down, and you are done. There is no application I can think of where a side puller could ever be practical. But, I welcome you to try to convince me otherwise.
"Angle the truck correctly the first time...." LOL. You've never been a roll-off operator have you? Many cases the operator is not able to - in your words - "angle the truck correctly."
art vandelay why can't it do both? A truck is a truck. You should always be looking to make your equipment more versatile. You never know what will happen in the world sometimes you have to make do with the equipment you have.
HI Art! We would actually put the SP9000 up against anything out there. It will outpull and out work any light duty wrecker on planet Earth, and we have thousands of customers world wide that I'm sure would agree! Thanks for watching.

What an awesome system, It really looks like a joy to use!

Worth ever penny , A lot of thought has gone into your Product.
Being a tow operator with a basic tilt and load having to do recovery this is my wet dream
Hey Crazzy Ghost! That's good to know. Definitely beats running two different recovery vehicles. Thanks for watching!
It's my dream too!can you be international,I mean can you start in Morocco
Эту конструкцию разработал человек с большим опытом, который сам работал на автомибиле и понимает как работать. Все хорошопродуманно.
I can't get my winter mit in your grab handle,
For insight from a work truck look to the International WorkStar, for inspiration from the driver door grab handle, big enough I can put my skidoo mits into.
I know this voice anywhere, but I’m used to it when I’m watching the RVs!
Seems like you've seen a few of our videos! Thanks for watching!
great presentation
Thank you!
Just wondering, could this be installed on a 1 ton or medium duty pickup? Without a recovery/tow bed on it?
Very nice video and product. Looks like you really put a lot of thought into the side puller and are passionate about what you are doing.
Thank you Mike! We are very passionate about the industry, and put a lot of time and effort in designing equipment to make it safer and easier out there on the side of the road. Thanks for watching!
Before you penetrate the ground or asphalt, do you call 811 for Call before you dig?????
The foot only goes into the ground a few inches. Thanks for watching!
This may be a dumb question but you you run that whole system with a large honda motor?? The farmer in me wants to know lol

Thanks guys
I'm not a tow operator but this rig looks amazing. Nice design and nice video.
Thanks for watching Graham!
I still have one major complaint, the winch free spool lever is on the driver's side. It should be available from both sides.
Hi Michael! There is an Air-Free spool option available from Warn. I'd be glad to get you part numbers if you'd like.
What size and rating is the cable? It looks like a 4 or 5 ton limit, maybe smaller.
SP *9000* indicates it is a 4.5 ton (9,000 pound) winch model. Same goes for the higher rated models of 12,000 (6 ton) and 20,000 (10 ton)
Nice piece of equipment Chuck, I'm about to buy a new truck. How much is the SP9000?
Makes more sense to ask that question by checking their website and if still no price you email them an inquiry with truck info and location of delivery and such for a better quote.
Hi Tim! You can get pricing from one of our dealers: intheditch.com/FW2_WhereToBuy.php
Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

Excellent Video, the side puller is really an amazingly engineered piece of equipment!
Thank you very much!

So Wise , Thank You .
having the cabe swivel is good but in europe the truck swivels the full bed and anywhere from 90 to 180 degrees.
That looks a fantastic piece of equipment. Good for Fire n Rescue vehicles as well. Very compact. Would want another set of landing legs that come further out. Just to transfer the pressure point further away from the winch vehicle
Hi Robert! We agree-they are very useful for Fire and Rescue vehicles. Wider the legs comes increased stability for sure. However, when we were designing it, we couldn't go over 102" wide or you can't legally drive down the road.
Good equipment.
excellent tools very use full for us
Thanks for watching!
What no camera mounts? Well that's a deal killer.
The outer boom head is probably the weakest link of this unit, I absolutely hate it. Almost everything you touch ends up outside of the "recovery zone" of the swivel head and you have to snatch block instead, and the little metal piece that closes off the sheave to capture the wire rope just falls off while driving down the road, I've lost 2 this way.
It's a fantastic unit but it has some down sides, But i use it all the time and it's even made it through getting hit by a car in one of the legs and it's held up fine.
how much is it
to fu.... much
bout 10k
How much is this
Hello,
The SP9 price ranges from $16,000 to $20,000.
I HOPE I dont meet you down in the ditch....
Interesting products, haven't seen it on any towing truck here in Norway.
Call AAA we could use this
I honestly can't see this as being useful. So, you hook up to the car in the ditch, and pull it from the side. Now you have a car lined up to the side of your truck. .... Now what? You'll have to reposition the truck to pull the car onto your bed.

you still have an independent bed winch, and you can turn the car with it.
Helps to watch their demo videos to get how lame your excuse is of this not being so practical as you assume.
"Angle the truck correctly the first time...."
LOL. You've never been a roll-off operator have you? Many cases the operator is not able to - in your words - "angle the truck correctly."
winch made in china or in clackamas, OR?
That's bad ASS!
Hi Wizzle! You're right :) Thanks for watching!
Wizzl
A rollback isn't designed for recovery work... But hey .. There's always that guy that thinks a screwdriver is also a chisel
art vandelay why can't it do both? A truck is a truck. You should always be looking to make your equipment more versatile. You never know what will happen in the world sometimes you have to make do with the equipment you have.
Closed mind. Versatility is one part of the efficient of the future.
