ABSTRACT:
A system for transporting a structure to a site of use via a towing truck and a wheeled dolly that support opposite ends of the structure during transport. Two coupling members, one mounted on the dolly and the other mountable on the truck, each have fixed connectors that mate with fixed connectors on the ends of the structure. Such mating is facilitated by providing each of the coupling members with hooks that engage a bar on the end of the structure and a positioning assembly that moves the hooks vertically, longitudinally and laterally. The positioning assembly has an outer frame that is moved vertically on the coupling member by hydraulic actuating cylinders and contains an inner frame that is moved longitudinally on the outer frame by a hydraulic actuating cylinder connected between the frame. The hooks are supported on a plate that is moved laterally in the inner frame by a double-ended hydraulic actuating cylinder on the plate. Hydraulic jacks on the coupling members stabilize the system while the structure is positioned.
