During recovery of a disabled motor vehicle, a towing dolly cradle assembly can be used to raise and carry an end of the vehicle. The towing dolly cradle assembly comprises two towing dolly assemblies spaced apart parallel to one another and with each dolly assembly having a horizontal main tube and each dolly assembly attached respectively along one of its longitudinal sides to an end of each of the two dolly axle assemblies interposed perpendicularly between the two dolly assemblies. The attachment of the two dolly assemblies to the two axle assemblies forms a generally rectangular towing dolly cradle assembly.In each dolly assembly, two pivot mounting assemblies are attached to the main tube with one mounting assembly at or near each end of the tube. Each mounting assembly has a spindle and a wheel assembly mounted to the spindle on the longitudinal side of the tube away from the interposed and attached dolly axle assemblies. Each mounting assembly can be actuated to raise an associated end of the horizontal tube to a raised position by the application of a torque force to a dolly lever removably attached to the mounting assembly and the dolly assembly can be locked in the raised position by actuation of a camlock having a camlock engaging pin from an open condition to a closed condition with the engaging pin protruding into a cooperating receiving hole of the pivot mounting assembly.
