75mm Galvanised Jockey Wheel U-Bolt
75mm galvanised U-bolts secure jockey wheels to your caravan chassis. A broad range of lengths up to 175mm is now available.
Suitable for trailer chassis box section in the lengths specified below.
Various lengths of U-bolts are available as follows
- 75mm
- 100mm
- 125mm
- 150mm
- 175mm
Measure your U-bolts from the inside of the U-bolt. 75mm U-bolts fit 75mm drawbars or chassis rails.
- Thread length is 60mm unless specified.
- 1/2″ BSW threads.
The diagram above will help you measure your U-bolt.
- Measure from inside to inside for the width of the U-bolt
- and measure from the tip of the thread to the bottom side of the U-bolt.
Why U-bolts may be a significant cause of caravan accidents.
To summarise this article, remember to re-tighten newly installed U-bolts after 300 km.

Frequently Asked Questions: 75mm Square Galvanised U-Bolts
- What are 75mm Square Galvanised U-Bolts used for?
They are specifically designed to secure parts, brackets, and accessories (such as jockey wheels, spare wheel carriers, and suspension components) to 75mm (3-inch) square or rectangular chassis rails, RHS (Rectangular Hollow Section), or box sections on trailers, caravans, and boat trailers. - Why choose hot-dipped galvanised U-bolts?
The hot-dipped galvanised coating provides high-level corrosion resistance against harsh environmental factors. This makes them ideal for marine environments, boat trailers, and outdoor towing applications where exposure to water and salt is common. - What is included with these U-bolts?
Each U-bolt typically includes the square-bend U-bolt itself, matching washers, and nyloc or spring washer nuts to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant hold under towing pressure.
Do’s and Don’ts for Installation & Maintenance
DO
- DO measure your chassis rail accurately; the 75mm inside width (W) must perfectly match or closely clear your square box section.
- DO use the supplied nyloc or spring nuts to prevent the fastener from backing off due to road vibrations.
- DO tighten the nuts evenly in a progressive, alternating sequence to distribute clamping pressure equally across both legs.
- DO inspect the torque levels periodically, especially after the first few trips with a new trailer setup.
DON’T
- DON’T use square U-bolts on round axles or pipes, as they will not seat correctly and will create dangerous stress points.
- DON’T over-tighten the nuts using high-powered impact wrenches, as this can strip the 1/2″ BSW threads or warp the mounting plate.
- DON’T reuse old nyloc nuts; once removed, the nylon locking insert loses its effectiveness and the nut must be replaced.
- DON’T mix galvanized hardware with raw steel or mismatched metals without isolation, to avoid accelerating galvanic corrosion.
