The inventor was inspired to think of his invention due to his interest in cars. "I am an avid car hobbyist and I could not load my show or race cars without dragging," said Smith. "I refused to spend $6,000 or more for a tilting trailer. I felt I could build the tilting process into the hitch itself."

Smith is exhibiting at INPEX with the hopes of finding a distributor or licensee.
