The transportation industry is experiencing

UNPRECEDENTED CO$T INCREA$E$

• Fuel prices have doubled • Insurance costs are rising • Purchase price of new trucks has increased significantly • Maintenance costs and tires are up over 30%

The Heavy Towing Industry has seen some of the highest cost increases due to the size of heavy tow trucks in comparison to standard freight hauling tractors.

The rule of thumb is that the cost of owning and operating a truck is proportional to the size of the truck. A typical heavy duty wrecker weighs in excess of 50,000 pounds. In comparison, a fifth wheel tractor used to haul a semi-trailer is less than half that weight. Proportionately the tractor is less expensive to buy, will burn less fuel, and won’t eat up tires and brakes.

What if you could tow any heavy truck down the road with an efficient fifth wheel tractor like every other commodity of freight is hauled?

The Tru-Hitch™ Fifth Wheel Towing Device is the solution to the compromises that other heavy towing equipment struggle with

• No need to be a long wheel base • No need to be front-end heavy • Coupled and pivoting on a standard fifth wheel eliminates any pinch points while turning • Able to lift 32,000 pounds and not be overweight on your rear axles • Never taking weight off your front axle while towing

Tru-Hitch • Since axles are evenly loaded, tire and brake life are extended • Cost to purchase, operate and maintain is a fraction of that of a heavy wrecker

Operation is simple and safe

Any fifth wheel tractor can couple to a Tru-Hitch™ in a similar way as coupling to any trailer. When the TruHitch™ is attached to the truck being towed, it becomes the front section of a safe and legal semi-trailer. With the connecting of proper lighting and brakes, you are now towing a truck that meets all federal motor carrier safety standards as a legal semi-trailer. Because the truck in tow is being lifted by the axle or chassis by the Tru-Hitch’s™ twin booms, it is very stable and has a low center of gravity. The booms are positioned under the truck to be towed or the truck being towed is winched onto the booms. The boom extensions are then attached to the truck to be towed making a rigid extension to support the truck/ TruHitch™ combination as a semi-trailer.

DYNAMIC HAS YOUR SOLUTION!

Established in 1982, Dynamic Manufacturing began its operations in an 8,000 square foot building in Norfolk, Virginia. TODAY THIS BUILDING IS NOW MORE THEN 60,000 SQ FT!!

The creators and executive team at Dynamic Manufacturing were the innovators in the repossession and towing industry. Calvin Russ, the company’s founder, started Dynamic Manufacturing by sketching out an idea to design a wheel-lift system that would be easier, faster, and safer to operate than what was available at the time. His creation, the Original Self-Loading Wheel-Lift, was born and Dynamic Manufacturing consistently worked to perfect the Self-Loading Wheel-Lift. Today, the SelfLoading Wheel-Lift is the most sought-after technology in the industry. The Original Self-Loading WheelLift from Dynamic was introduced in 1983. The Self-Loading Wheel-Lift was repossessing vehicles with its 90 degree hook up in 10 seconds and the driver never had to leave the security of the cab of the truck. The word of how well the new SelfLoading Wheel-Lift worked spread like wildfire through the industry. The Virginia Department of Transportation commissioned Dynamic to build a unit for towing and recovery on the

bridges and tunnels in Norfolk, Virginia. The Dynamic 601 BTW twin line, with a hydraulic extend-able recovery boom was put into service and is still the equipment of choice today. Soon after, major cities like Chicago and New York added the SelfLoading Wheel-Lift to their fleets as well. Dynamic grew as the industry grew and the demands for stronger, improved, and more diversified Self-Loading Wheel-Lift equipment was needed.

The company’s mainstay was the 601 series with a 4,000-pound wheel-lift. This unit has now been bypassed with the 701 with its 5000lb wheel-lift fully extended, and optional Neg-Power tilt. With the 701’s impressive array of standard equipment, it is available in four different configurations: the B, which is the basic unit with the 5,000 pound wheel-lift; the BDW, a bed with a deck winch; the BSW, a bed with a recovery boom and a single winch; and the BTW, a bed with a recovery boom and two winches and numerous optional equipment is available to qualify for city and state towing contracts.

The present owners of Dynamic have over 40 years’ experience in the towing business. AND NOW OVER 10 years in manufacturing, engineering, and bringing new products to the industry. They understand what the towers need and want. Safety is an especially important

issue. Dynamic offers the in-cab wheel-lift controls for added safety during highway tows and the everdangerous repossession. Not one tow vehicle is the same, Dynamic is a small, customer care company where you can reach the owner as well as all the departments to solve a problem with your Dynamic equipment. Their parts department is always stocked with a vast amount and a variety of parts. A call to the parts department and quick ship out procedure ensures your downtime to an absolute minimum. Dynamic listens and is always open to suggestions and changes needed by the end user.

The 701 light duty and light/ medium duty truck series and the 801 medium duty truck series are also available in the four different configurations. The 701 series offers a 5,000-pound wheel-lift and is also available with optional winch or negative tilt. The 801 series is the truck that Dynamic designed for the Virginia Department of Transportation and is available with an 8,000 pound wheel-lift. Dynamic Manufacturing totally reengineered the 801 series with an 8500LB wheel-lift and 16-ton recovery boom to meet their needs!

Dynamic Manufacturing is continuing to broaden its product line. Dynamic was the first to manufacture rollbacks with a SelfLoading, Independent, Wheel-Lift. The traditional “L” arm wheel-lift is offered as standard equipment. As time progressed, methods of towing vehicles and trucks also required more diligence when towing. Dynamic saw the need to manufacture equipment that would help the tower be able to not only perform his job safely, but also with the delicate care needed to tow the present and future vehicles and trucks. The latest products introduced and now manufactured by Dynamic are the RADIUS Rotator Carrier, Slide-in Units, and the Stealth WheelLifts. Dynamic offers a full line of products that can transform your pick-up into a wrecker at a low cost, and it makes for the perfect setup for low clearance garages! The latest addition to the lineup is the Dynamic Service vehicle. Make sure you visit www.dynamicmfg.com and check them out for yourselves.

Dynamic has distributors located throughout the United States, England, Australia, Ukraine, Russia, Scandinavia, Sweden & Baltic States.

They are always looking for additional equipment distributors, parts distributors, and repair facilities. Please contact Dynamic Manufacturing for more information.

AUTOGRID OPTION FOR XLP CARRIER

The new Autogrid option for Jerr-Dan’s XLP Carrier allows an operator to hook to a car quickly and easily without manually installing L-Arms.

Engineered with the operator in mind, the grid design offers a 3,500 lb. rating and a crossbar that can rotate 90 degrees either side of center. The center detent helps to prevent unintended crossbar swing during hook-up. The grid center drop area is designed to provide better support for tires as well as less sidewall push. The long-term cost of ownership and product longevity are addressed with replaceable wear items that include wear pads, L-arm tips, and grid ends.

In addition to these standard elements, Autogrid customers may choose from several add-on options including wireless remote control, a dual-camera system, and a Reese Hitch attachment.
