Abstract: A low ride saddle mount for use in the transportation of trucks comprising a pair of laterally spaced supports adapted to be mounted on a tow truck, and a shaft extending horizontally between and supported for axial rotation above the supports. A platform is secured to the shaft. A saddle is mounted on the platform for rotation about an axis extending at right angles to the longitudianl axis of the shaft. Clamps on the saddle are adapted to clamp onto the front axle of a truck to be towed. The saddle mount may be inverted so that the shaft is below the supports, to permit a lower ride.
