Abstract: A heavy duty vehicle recovery system employs a crane/tow boom assembly which is pivotally mounted to an upright assembly and is transformable between various positions. Two variably positionable booms with slidable extensions are provided. The crane/tow boom assembly extends rearwardly from the lower portion of the upright assembly. When the upright assembly is in an upright position, the boom assembly is upwardly pivotal from the upright assembly. When the upright assembly is in a reclined position, the crane/tow boom assembly is pivotally transformable to a transport position generally parallel to the upright assembly. The crane booms may be independently positioned at different elevational angles and different extensions.

Abstract: The invention in a preferred form includes a frame assembly having a load bearing surface and a hitch engagement. The hitch engagement includes a lifting bar and a hitch guide. A bogey assembly may be further attached to the frame. The bogey assembly may include a wheeled axle. The high mobility trailer includes a frame having a pair of transversely spaced rails. The frame has a forward portion and a rearward portion and includes a hitch engagement having a lifting bar selectively fixed to the forward portion of the rails. The lifting bar is selectively movable between an up-position and a down-position. The frame further includes a cross beam fixed to the rails at a position rearward from the lifting bar. The cross beam has a hitch leg guide.

Abstract: A towbar adapter assembly that attaches to a towbar boom and acts as a link between the towbar boom and a vehicle attachment point. The assembly has a base for attachment to the towbar boom and an anchoring strut that attaches to the vehicle. The base is incrementally positionable with respect to the towbar boom and the anchoring strut is incrementally positionable with respect to the base.

Abstract: A boom assembly attaches to the fifth wheel of a tractor for towing a truck or other vehicle. The assembly has a pair of uprights and a pair of pivotally mounted legs. Hydraulic cylinders are actuated to force the legs to a pivoted position which lifts the legs and the towed truck to an elevated position for towing. The legs may be supported by a collapsable wheel assembly. The vehicle is secured by a specially configured hook and a variably positionable front wheel assembly receiver. Extensions in the legs include rollers to facilitate positioning. The boom assembly may be variably vertically positioned and is collapsable to a compact storage configuration.

Abstract: A boom assembly attaches to the fifth wheel of a tractor for towing a truck or other vehicle. The assembly has a main frame with a pair of uprights and a pair of pivotally mounted legs. The vehicle is secured at longitudinal spaced locations to the legs. Hydraulic cylinders are actuated to force the legs to a pivoted position which lifts the legs and the towed truck to an elevated position for towing.
