  • Patent number: 5575606
    Abstract: A wheel lift attachment assembly (10) of the type coupled to a towing vehicle (12) for supporting the wheels (11) of the vehicle to be lifted and towed by the towing vehicle (12) is disclosed. The wheel lift attachment assembly (10) comprises a cross beam (16) and first (26) and second (28) receivers coupled to the ends (18, 20) of the cross beam (16). The first and second receivers (26, 28) each have an upper plate (30) and a lower plate (32) parallel with the upper plate (30). The lower plate (32) is spaced vertically below and laterally offset from the upper plate (30). First and second wheel support arms (38, 40) are slidably received between the upper and lower plates (30, 32). A first pin (54) extends outwardly from each of the receivers (26, 28) and is positioned vertically below the upper plate (30) and substantially level with the lower plate (32) to prevent the wheel support arms (38, 40) from vertically tilting away from the upper and lower plates (30, 32).
