Which device is specifically designed to support a towed vehicle on rubber belts?

Wheel-Lift
Tow Sling
Underlift
Tow Hitch

The correct answer is: Tow Sling

The device specifically designed to support a towed vehicle on rubber belts is the tow sling. A tow sling is a type of towing apparatus that is equipped with straps or slings that wrap around the tires of a vehicle, allowing it to be lifted and towed without contacting the body of the vehicle. This method is especially useful for preserving the integrity of the towed vehicle and is suitable for various types of vehicles, providing a smooth transportation process. The other devices mentioned serve different purposes. The wheel-lift is designed to lift one set of wheels off the ground for towing but does not use rubber belts. An underlift is used primarily for heavy-duty towing and involves lifting a vehicle by its frame, while the tow hitch is a connection point on a towing vehicle for attaching a trailer or towed vehicle, rather than specifically lifting it.
