ABSTRACT:
An improved towing rig for objects such as mobile floating dock sections for small craft moorings includes a towing fixture with a connection for a tow tractor, at least one connector adapted for swivelable connection to a forward or side vertical surface of the object to be towed and a load-distributing assembly adapted to bear upon at least the upper surface of the towed object when a pull is exerted upon the tow bar assembly of the towing fixture. The towing rig can further include at least one wheel-axle assembly adapted for temporary attachment to the object to be towed. The wheel-axle assembly is preferably buoyant in water to permit easy mounting and recovery with a towed floating object in the water.
