Jockey Wheels

Jockey wheels are height-adjustable, retractable wheels at the front of trailers or caravans that provide support and make maneuvering and hitching easier when the trailer or caravan is uncoupled from a tow vehicle.

They come with various features and mounting options like clamps, swivel brackets, different weight ratings, and wheel types such as solid rubber or pneumatic tyres, often with a protective zinc finish.

Clamps and Brackets

Clamps and brackets (U-bolt kits) are standard for securing the unit. Swivel brackets allow the wheel to swing up horizontally for travel, increasing ground clearance. Both bolt-on and weld-on options are available.

A quality zinc finish or galvanisation protects steel components from rust and corrosion, especially in marine or wet conditions.

Maintenance and Replacement

Replacement wheels and parts (handles, clamps, etc.) are available to extend the life of your jockey wheel.

Ensure replacement parts are compatible with your specific brand and model, paying attention to wheel diameter (e.g., 6, 8, 10-inch) and axle size.

Regular cleaning and lubrication help maintain smooth operation, especially for pneumatic tyres where proper pressure is key.
