ABSTRACT:
System for vertically aligning mating members of a tow vehicle and trailer. An elongate guide bar is attached to extend away from the rear of the vehicle, to permit contact of the guide bar with the trailer's jack shaft when the vehicle is backed up to the trailer. A mover system is then attached to the guide bar and used to move the jack shaft along the guide bar, to place the respective mating members in vertical alignment. The mover system is removed, and the jack shaft is lowered to engage the respective now vertically aligned mating members.
