6-inch Swing Up Jockey Wheel
The 6-inch swing-up jockey wheel with a solid rubber tyre has a maximum static load capacity of 500kg.
It features a swing-away bracket for convenient stowage when not in use.
If you have problems with the 6-inch swing-up jockey wheel, consider some larger wheel versions.
There are four types of high-quality Jockey Wheels in the 6-inch rubber range
- Bolt-on with a Clamp
- Bolt-on No Clamp
- Extra Height with a Clamp
- Extra Height No Clamp
- U-Bolt Swivel to suit 3-inch and 4-inch trailer chassis rails.
Choosing the right jockey wheel is critical. It helps in more ways; it helps manoeuvre the caravan, and lower and raise the A-frame drawbar when required.
Although most caravans come with a jockey wheel, it’s worth investing in a good replacement that better suits your weight rating.
If your caravan has a load capacity of 500 kg or below, this is a perfect choice. It’s easy to use, adjust, remove, and manoeuvre. Made of solid rubber, it includes a nylon insert and clamp bolts for a secure fit.
We recommend this product for trailers with 4-leaf spring suspensions or smaller.
Note: Wheels are rated for different loads and have two functions
- Lift the caravan off the tow ball.
- To move the caravan to its location. When moving your trailer, do not forget to lower the stem for maximum efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the maximum weight capacity of this jockey wheel? This 6-inch swing-up jockey wheel is rated for a static load of up to 350 kg, making it ideal for small- to medium-sized trailers and caravans.
- Can this jockey wheel be used on unsealed surfaces like sand or soft mud? While the 6-inch solid wheel works perfectly on concrete, asphalt, and firm dirt, it may sink into very soft sand or deep mud.
- Does it come with all necessary mounting hardware? Yes, it includes a heavy-duty swivel bracket and U-bolts designed to fit standard trailer tongues (up to 3 inches).
- How does the swing-up mechanism work? Pull the spring-loaded release pin, rotate the jockey wheel 90 degrees to a horizontal position parallel to the trailer frame, and let the pin snap back into place to lock it securely for travel.
Do’s & Don’ts for Safe Operation
✔ Do’s
- Do ensure the spring-loaded pin is completely engaged and locked before towing or unhitching.
- Do regularly grease the internal gears and swivel bearings via the grease nipple to keep operation smooth.
- Do use wheel chocks on your trailer tyres before winding the jockey wheel up or down.
- Do wind the jockey wheel fully down to its lowest profile before pivoting it into the travel position to maximise road clearance.
✘ Don’ts
- Don’t exceed the rated static load limit of 350 kg.
- Don’t move or tow the trailer while the jockey wheel is extended vertically.
- Don’t use the jockey wheel on steep inclines without first safely securing the trailer chassis.
