ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a towing vehicle or wrecker of the type in which a winch drawn cable is attached to the trailing portion of an auto or truck to be towed and a carrier member ascends an inclined track elevating the leading portion of the load as the cable is winched in. The apparatus is characterized by pivotal mounting of the inclined member with a hydraulic positioning cylinder for aiding in acquisition of a load, such as a disabled auto which is ditched or laterally displaced from the wrecker. The pivoted, inclined member also facilitates cornering of the wrecker and load when in motion.
