Abstract: A towing device for vehicles is connected with a connection pin for a holding on the vehicle body and a hook-in eye connected with the pin, the connection pin having a fastening section as well as a lug part forming the hook-in eye. In a towing position and in an inoperative position, the connection pin is held in a support part of the vehicle body so that it cannot be lost, and, in the towing position, the connection pin with the fastening section can be fixed in a tension-resistant and pressure-resistant manner in a holding element of the support part and, in the inoperative position, can be fixed in the holding element by way of a locking device arranged adjacent to the hook-in eye.

Abstract: A steering axle for a lift truck includes a double-acting steering cylinder whose tubular cylinder member is closed off at each end by way of a cover. The steering cylinder includes a tubular cylinder member retained inside of a cylindrical mounting of a part of the cover. This forms within the area of the mounting an additional stroke space that is delimited at the end of the tubular member by a bearing flange of the cover which is rigidly connected with a support frame by way of oppositely disposed threaded bolts whereby the support frame is held fixed at the body.
