TOWING THE SYSTEM
Towing kits are an optional accessory for a box frame system. If your system was not supplied with this accessory
please skip to the next section.
Towing kits come in two basic styles: tow bar style (Figure 12) and fork pocket style (Figure 13).
Tow bar style is intended for pintle or ball style hitches. This style towing kit includes a tow bar that pivots in one
direction and can be be towed by many different types of vehicles.
Fork pocket style is intended to be chained or strapped to the forks of a forklift. It rotates horizontally and is
great for both push and pull applications.
