ABSTRACT:
A car catcher is pivotally mounted to an elevated frame structure of a roll-off hoist at an end which protrudes rearwardly from a vehicle beyond the rear wheels thereof. Chains establish a downwardly pivoted operative position of the car catcher by interconnecting the frame with the hoist. A pivotal latch lever moved by the same actuator used to raise the catcher from an operative to an inoperative position is positioned to a confronting relation with a jam lock to prevent unwanted lifting of the catcher from the operative position. The actuator moves the pivotal latch lever free and clear of the jam lock against the stop to allow, under control by an operator, pivotal movement of the car catcher to an inoperative position as desired during loading and off-loading operations by the hoist.
