ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for wheel lift towing vehicles for supporting the tires of a vehicle lifted and towed thereby includes a tire support cradle having front and rear members for respectively engaging the front and rear surface portions of a tire of a vehicle. The rear support member includes an elongated arm and a wheel support member. The arm is adjustably positioned in a receptacle carried by a support beam which also carries the front member of the cradle, and is secured in the receptacle by a locking bracket which is pivotably mounted on the top of the receptacle and adapted to pivot between an unlocked position to a locking position. In the unlocked position the bracket does not interfere with movement of the arm. The bracket includes a leg which carries a locking pin. In the locking position lateral movement of the arm is precluded and the pin is inserted into a bore in the arm to lock the arm against longitudinal and lateral movement.
