Abstract: A vehicle towing apparatus includes right and left vehicle lifts releasably locked and pivoted to a pivot member and movable between a storage position alongside the low beam of the boom. The boom and/or the low beam may be hydraulically actuated or mechanically actuated by a power winch, cable and derrick boom. A sling is provided suitably mounted for pivotal movement adjacent the rear end of the low beam. A mechanical support, including a fixed and a movable member, engages the boom to adjust the height thereof between lower loading and upper towing positions. The mechanical support is affixed to the vehicle frame and is independent of the hydraulic or mechanical actuation of the boom and/or low beam to permit unloading of same.
