ABSTRACT:
A wheel lifting unit for mounting to a tow truck has a base that is carried by the truck under the bed. An extending device will retract and extend the base. A telescoping member, which also retracts and extends, is mounted to the base. The telescoping member includes a neck member that pivotally connects to arms mounted to the base. The neck member will also move between retracted and extended positions. Lateral extension members are located at the end of the telescoping member assembly. Wheel supports on the lateral extension members incline outwardly to accommodate different wheel sizes.
