ABSTRACT:
The hitching device of the present invention is adapted to connect an industrial vehicle to a load-carrying trailer to permit the vehicle to maneuver the load-carrying trailer. The industrial vehicle is of the type having a pair of forks which are substantially parallel to each other. The hitching device comprises a frame which is connectable to the load-carrying trailer by a connector. First and second bars are disposed on the frame remote from the connector. These bars lie substantially parallel to each other and substantially at right angles to the direction of travel of the forks of the vehicle. The bars are vertically and horizontally spaced from each other so that a gap is formed between them for receiving the forks. The second bar is disposed so that it lies vertically below the first bar, and so that it extends horizontally further from the connector than does the first bar when the forks are raised by the vehicle to a position which enables the vehicle to push or pull the load-carrying trailer. The configuration of the second bar substantially prevents the forks from being horizontally withdrawn from the hitching device until the forks are lowered by the vehicle. In this position, the industrial vehicle can pull the load-carrying trailer.
