A truck towing system is described. The truck towing system provides for a first truck to tow a second truck in a back to front relationship, i.e., the front portion of the second truck (the towed truck) is connected or attached to a rear portion of the first truck (the towing truck). The truck towing system includes an upper member to connect with a first truck. A middle member joins the upper member and a lower member in a fixed engagement. The lower member supports a front portion of a second truck. The beam member connects to a rear portion of the second truck using a cross-bar assembly.

A safety chain system that includes a drawbar hanger. The drawbar hanger includes a drawbar frame that defines a first aperture. A drawbar rests within the first aperture. A safety chain anchor also rests within the first aperture. The safety chain anchor defines a second aperture. The second aperture receives a safety chain. The safety chain anchor is able to slide in and out of the first aperture.

An electrified vehicle winch includes, among other things, a winch and a charge port connector that connects to a charge port of an electrified vehicle. The winch is powered through the charge port connector. A winch operating method includes, among other things, operating a winch to move a load and, during the operating, powering the winch through a charge port of the electrified vehicle.

A traction assist system and method for heavy equipment on an incline or in other situations with poor or limited traction. In particular, a traction assist system for heavy equipment having an accessory such as a blade, the system including: a tether; an adaptation to the accessory allowing the tether to be placed to allow the accessory to function without disrupting the tether, such as through-holes in the blade; and an attachment point on the heavy equipment for attaching the tether to the heavy equipment. The adaptation will depend on the particular accessory involved but may generally be an adaptation allowing the tether to pass through the accessory.

A towing system for trucks, such as traction cables or drawbars is provided, which is made up of a central body with two anchoring yokes, a rear one and a front one, located at each end of the central body. The system is characterized in that the anchoring forks have pivot lugs that allow their connection to the central body by means of bolts, with the forks having hydraulic anchoring cylinders at their ends to connect the system to trailers and towed trucks. The central body has a set of rear wheels and a set of front wheels for its movement, which, by means of a remotely controlled hydraulic system, allows the wheels to be raised. Mounted on the main body, between the rear wheel assembly and the front wheel assembly, is a hydraulic power pack that allows all towing functions to be performed automatically.

A remotely releasable tow line is provided. The tow line has a releasable latch at a distal end that is removably connected to a race car. The releasable latch is operatively associated with a cable handle adjacent to a proximal end of the tow line. Accordingly, a user disposed on a tow vehicle, to which the proximal end is connected, may manipulate the cable handle so that the release latch disconnects from the race car, in such a way that while the race car is still being towed it is unhooked from the tow vehicle, thereby saving time in getting the race car in a pit area where the race car can be tended to before its soon-approaching next race.

There is a bearing swivel hitch comprising a housing and a mount. The inside of the housing is aligned with a plurality of bearings such that when the mount is inserted into the housing, the mount can rotate 360 degrees. There is a recovery rope assembly comprising at least two materials interwoven together with a first material substantially along a standing portion of the recovery rope assembly and a second material substantially along at least one working end of the recovery rope assembly. At the working end of the recovery rope assembly, there is a noose and a knob/knot which allows the working end to form a releasable end loop by mating the noose with the knob/knot.
