ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses an apparatus for easily and rapidly, yet securely, interconnecting two truck tractors by their fifth wheels to enable one tractor to tow the other tractor. More particularly the apparatus includes a beam fixedly secured to the towed tractor and a ramp secured to the towing tractor. The beam is slidably supported on the ramp so that the towed tractor rear wheels can be raised for towing by backing the towing tractor toward the towed tractor causing the ramp to lift the beam.
