Jockey Repair Parts

You can easily find replacement wheels and other repair parts for your jockey wheel. The most crucial factor is ensuring the specifications of your original part are met, specifically the wheel diameter, axle size, and load rating.

Replacement Wheel Options

Solid Rubber Wheels

• Description: Puncture-proof and durable, best suited for use on hard, sealed surfaces like concrete or pavement.
• Options: Available in various diameters, such as 150mm (6″), 200mm (8″), and 250mm (10″). Often feature a steel boss or rim for added durability to reduce the chance of the rubber splitting under load.
• Example: Manutec 200mm Jockey Wheel Replacement Wheel, a solid rubber option with a steel insert, available from Australian retailers.

Other Common Repair Parts

• Handles and Knobs: Replacement handles with plastic or metal knobs are widely available and often include the necessary roll pin or retaining clip for installation.
• Clamps and Brackets: You can purchase spare clamps (fixed or swivel) and U-bolt kits for mounting to drawbars with different shaft diameters (e.g., 48mm or 60mm).
• Axle Kits and Bearings: Replacement axles, bearings, and lifting screws are available and essential for smooth rotation and operation.

How to Choose the Correct Replacement Part

• Measure: Measure the diameter of your current wheel and the diameter of the axle bore (centre hole) to ensure compatibility.
• Check Load Rating: Ensure the replacement wheel or part has a sufficient load capacity for your trailer’s maximum nose weight to maintain safety and function.
• Identify Brand/Model (if possible): Many manufacturers, such as Manutec, AL-KO, and ARK, offer genuine spare parts designed to fit their specific models perfectly.
• Consider Terrain: If you frequently use your trailer on soft ground, a pneumatic or dual-wheel option may be a better replacement than a solid rubber one, and vice versa for hard surfaces.
