Abstract
An improved roll-back apparatus is disclosed having a deck with a sloping portion at a rearward end which contacts the ground to provide both a low approach angle, and a large support area, for initially receiving the weight of a vehicle to be transported. Slidable slide pads are disposed between the deck and a subframe which slidably supports the deck. The slidable slide pads extend the life of the slide pads, along with reducing the amount of required slide pad material necessary to support the deck upon the subframe.
