ABSTRACT:
A two car carrier truck employs an above-cab tilting platform for the support of one car in transit. A cable winch is located at the rear of this platform with a guide sheave for the cable at the front of the platform assuring a proper fleet angle for the cable being wound onto the winch drum even when the car is in a fully loaded position. Proper layering of the cable on the winch drum is assured and dangerous uneven piling up of the cable is eliminated. The overall length of the transport truck is reduced, driver vision is improved, and car loading time is reduced by placement of the winch closer to the operator's control panel at the rear of the truck. Oil leakage from the winch blowing back onto the truck windshield is eliminated. Proper layering of the cable on the winch drum is also assured for the tilting platform behind the truck cab when the winch is located at a medial portion of the platform a distance rearwardly from a guide sheave on the front thereof which assures a proper fleet angle for the cable relative to the winch drum.
