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.
