Abstract
A device and method for extricating a dually vehicle from being stuck in a rut soft ground where a middle section of a tube is affixed to the outside tire leaving an inside segment against the inside dually tire and an outside segment extending perpendicularly away from the outside tire. The dually vehicle rotates the tires, then affixed to the tube, to gain traction and step up and out of the rut.
Claims2
A traction step device for extricating a dually vehicle comprising a tube, a belt and a ratchet;
- a first tire is immediately adjacent to an inside dually tire;
- along a longitudinal axis the tube has an outside segment, a middle segment and an inside segment;
- on an upper surface of the tube is first aperture where the outside segment meets the middle segment and a second aperture where the middle segment meets the inside segment;
- along the longitudinal axis of the tube, the middle segment is dimensioned approximately a width of the first tire;
- along the longitudinal axis of the tube, the outside segment is dimensioned between a half and three times the width of the first tire;
- along the longitudinal axis of the tube, the inside segment is dimensioned approximately a width of the inside dually tire;
- the belt is laced into the first aperture and out of the second aperture so that a segment of the belt is inside the tube along the middle segment;
- the ratchet is operatively affixed to a first end of the belt;
- the middle segment of the tube is placed against the first tire and the inside segment of the tube is placed against the inside dually tire the outside segment of the tube extends laterally away from the vehicle perpendicularly to a tread direction on the first tire;
- the belt is wrapped through the first tire and a second end of the belt is operatively engaged into the ratchet.
