Description

Moving trailers around a worksite requires backing a truck accurately to the trailer ball hitch. Then the worker must climb out of the driver seat and walk to the back of the truck to check if the ball hitch is properly aligned. If it is not, it is back to the driver seat to adjust. When hitching and unhitching numerous times per day as may be necessary on a construction worksite, farm, landscaping job, boat marina, etc… a person with Parkinson’s Disease would have a very difficult and tiring job climbing in and out of the driver seat.

The Trailer Hitch Coupler Aligner Alignment Device will allow the worker to hitch and unhitch the trailers without ever leaving the driver seat, thus making it possible for them to complete the necessary task. The V shape of the Alignment device guides the trailer to the ball hitch.
