Abstract
A snow plow blocking unit for fastening and removing a snow plow from a truck or other vehicle, the snow plow of the type having a connecting bracket that attaches to the truck or other vehicle. The snow plow blocking unit includes a platform, a raising and lowering apparatus for raising and lowering the platform, a sideward moving apparatus for moving the platform in a lateral direction, and a stop positioned forwardly and at a predetermined distance of the platform. The stop cooperates with the truck or other vehicle whereby the truck or other vehicle is positioned a distance from the platform so that when the snow plow is detached from the truck or other vehicle the connecting bracket of the snow plow is received on the platform by adjusting the raising and lowering apparatus and the sideward moving apparatus. Likewise, when the connecting bracket of a detached snow plow is attached to a truck or other vehicle the connecting bracket is aligned with the truck or other vehicle by adjusting the raising and lowering apparatus and the sideward moving apparatus.
