Abstract
A towable mover includes a flexible mat and a hollow tow bar substantially contained in a sleeve at the leading edge of the mat. A tow rope is coupled to each end of the tow bar for towing. Couplings include a plug assembly securely received within the interior space at an end of the tow bar and a rope coupling assembly attached to the plug assembly. The plug assembly includes a resilient elastomeric cylindrical plug, the diameter of which swells when the ends are squeezed together by tightening a bolt. The rope coupling assembly is external to the tow bar and external to the sleeve. The sleeve is disposed between portions of the mat that may freely fold to allow passage through narrow spaces.
