A vehicle tow platform adapted for mounting on a two-wheeled trailer or dolly, the vehicle tow platform comprising:
- a first platform segment adapted to support at least one rear wheel of a wheeled vehicle;
- a substantially vertical rear lip projecting downwardly away from a rear end of the first platform segment, wherein the vertical rear lip defines a proximal end of the vehicle tow platform;
- and an upwardly projecting wall segment positioned forward of the first platform segment, the upwardly projecting wall segment being adapted to block forward rolling of the wheeled vehicle, wherein the tow platform is of one-piece, metal construction having a substantially uniform thickness, and wherein the vehicle tow platform includes at least one opening disposed substantially along a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle tow platform to provide access to the trailer or dolly during use.
A vehicle tow platform adapted for mounting on a two-wheeled trailer or doily, the vehicle tow platform comprising:
- a single platform segment adapted to support at least one rear wheel of a wheeled vehicle and at least one front wheel of the wheeled vehicle;
- a substantially vertical rear lip projecting downwardly away from a rear end of the single platform segment, wherein the vertical rear lip defines a proximal end of the vehicle tow platform;
- and an upwardly projecting wall segment positioned forward of the single platform segment, the upwardly projecting wall segment being adapted to block forward rolling of the wheeled vehicle, wherein the tow platform is of one-piece, metal construction having a substantially uniform thickness, and wherein the vehicle tow platform includes at least one opening disposed substantially along a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle tow platform to provide access to the trailer or dolly during use.
A vehicle tow platform adapted for mounting on a two-wheeled trailer or dolly, the vehicle tow platform comprising:
- a first platform segment adapted to support at least one rear wheel of a wheeled vehicle;
- a second platform segment adapted to support at least one forward wheel of the wheeled vehicle, wherein the second platform segment is depressed relative to the first platform segment such that the second platform segment is at a lower elevation than the first platform segment;
- a raised intermediate platform segment disposed in raised relation between the first platform segment and the second platform segment;
- a substantially vertical rear lip projecting downwardly away from a rear end of the first platform segment, wherein the vertical rear lip defines a proximal end of the vehicle tow platform;
- an upwardly projecting wall segment positioned forward of the first platform segment, the upwardly projecting wall segment being adapted to block forward rolling of the wheeled vehicle;
- and a tongue guard projecting upwardly away from the upwardly projecting wall segment, wherein the tongue guard includes a substantially vertical tongue segment having a length of at least about 12 inches, wherein the tow platform is of one-piece, metal construction having a substantially uniform thickness, and wherein the vehicle tow platform includes at least one opening disposed substantially along a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle tow platform to provide access to the trailer or dolly during use.
