The present invention provides a vehicle hitch system having a plurality of modular and easily interchangeable accessory attachments. Each accessory attachment may be operable to secure one or more pieces of equipment useful for the user's preferred activities. The system may include a base and a plurality of different accessory attachments, the base comprising a vehicle mount, a connector, and a support frame, and each of the accessory attachments may comprise an accessory mount and an accessory support.

A hitch mount configured to be selectively attached to a vehicle, the vehicle having an under bed hitch mounting system is shown and described. The hitch mount may include at least one transverse member, at least one longitudinal member attached with the at least one transverse member, the at least one longitudinal member including first and second apertures, the first and second apertures of different size, and first and second fastening devices configured to selectively engage the under bed hitch mounting system and the first and second apertures, respectively. The hitch mount may also include first and second biasing members operatively engaged with the first and second fastening, the biasing members applying a load against the under bed hitch mounting system, and first and second handles pivotally and rotatably attached with the first and second fastening devices, the handles having a camming surface configured to engage the first and second biasing members.

A vehicle hitch assembly is provided that includes an angled trailer tow bar configured to be supported at the rear of a vehicle, a hitch receiver movably coupled to the tow bar such that the receiver may move on the tow bar, and a locking mechanism for locking the receiver in a fixed position on the tow bar.

A towing hook arranged on a mining machine, with a first end having a bent portion to allow a towing tool to be connected and a second end having a cylindrical rod. An intermediate part is located between the first and the second end. The towing hook is arranged to be mounted in a through hole in a frame of a machine in order for the first and second ends to be positioned on different sides of the machine frame. The intermediate part is mounted partly in the through hole of the frame, and wherein the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical rod is generally parallel with a longitudinal axis defined through the towing hook representing the force transmitting direction when connecting the towing tool to the bent portion.

A utility cart for maneuvering trailers and trailer accessories includes a base frame member, caster wheels mounted on an underside of the base frame member, a height adjustable hitch assembly, and a pair of handles extending upwardly from the base frame member. The hitch assembly is mounted to the central support members, and includes a vertical post extending upwardly from the support members and a telescoping frame member with a vertical sleeve that mates telescopically with the vertical post. The telescoping frame member includes a height adjustment mechanism that is operated by a hand crank, so that a user can turn the hand crank to raise or lower the height of the telescoping frame member. The utility cart may attach to trailers, trailer hitch accessories, or may be used as a docking station for the recreational vehicle loading and carrying apparatus set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 9,670,013.

A load levelling device for adjusting the pitch of a first towing vehicle relative to a ground surface when the first towed vehicle is coupled to a second towed vehicle includes: a towing pillar having a longitudinal axis; a towing tongue adapted for attachment to the first towing vehicle and mounted on the towing pillar for sliding engagement therewith; a clutch housing radially supported on the towing pillar beneath the towing tongue for sliding engagement with the towing pillar, the clutch housing including a blade recess in a lateral portion thereof, the blade recess extending orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the towing pillar; a tensioning blade having a leading end and a trailing end, the leading end adapted for being removably securable in the blade recess of the clutch housing and the trailing end being adapted for attachment to the second towed vehicle; and a user operational force application device for selectively applying a vertical force to the trailing edge of the tensioning blade. An upwardly applied force on the trailing edge of the tensioning blade imparts a counter-clockwise moment to the tensioning blade, which counter-clockwise moment is transmitted through the clutch housing, the towing pillar and the towing tongue, so as to level the pitch of a first towing vehicle to which the load levelling device is attached, relative to the ground surface.
