  • Publication number: 20090115161
    Abstract: An automatic towing vehicle includes a self-moving vehicle body for moving along a traveling path, an engaging member, a pressing member and an elevating device for moving up and down the pressing member relative to the vehicle body. The vehicle body is movable under a truck body of the truck. The engaging member is mounted on the vehicle body and engageable with the truck body. The pressing member is mounted on the vehicle body and movable up for pressing the truck body upward. When the pressing member is located under the truck body and moved up by the elevating device, the pressing member is brought to contact with the truck body to press upward. The truck is towed while the pressing member presses against the truck body.
