PHIL's patent pending Vehicle Recovery Tool (VRT®) serves as \
When paired in conjunction with a Lowboy Trailer, it functions as an intermediate vehicle between the prime mover and trailer, providing additional loading capacity while distributing weight across prime mover and trailer tires.
When operating as a towing device, the VRT pivots upward to attach to the disabled vehicle's front tow bumper, lifting the front tires off the ground. Its four tires handle weight distribution between the prime mover and VRT without requiring a counterweight, and its wheelbase matches the prime mover for added stability.
