Peter, the primary use of the towing pin on a Lift Truck is for recovery of the machine. The weight distribution of a Lift Truck does not lend itself to safe towing as all the weight is on the steering wheels with very little on the driving and braking wheels (unless a ballast weight is carried). It seems to me you are just attempting to get cheap advertising for an ill thought out attachment. After all it is a Lift Truck and not a Tow Truck, the clue is in the name.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
