A first set of power driven actuators rotate the body between vertical and horizontal, and a second set of actuators moves the extension. Inductive spaced apart sensors on the extension outer edge detects the trailer and stops the bracketing second actuators when a predetermined distance from the trailer to space the extension and trailer and match the angle between them.
