Jockey Wheels

Jockey Wheels - Bolt On and Swivel

The jockey wheel offers trailers the necessary support to keep it stable when not attached to the tow vehicle.

(Dealers, if you wish additional jockey wheels to be added, ask Kate as she would be delighted to add more to this range)

Note: No Clamp is supplied. Find clamps here.

There are four types of high-quality Jockey Wheels

• Bolt-on No Clamp
• Extra Height No Clamp
• Weld-on or bolt-on Swivel
• 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 bar when required.

Although most caravans come with a jockey wheel, it’s advisable to invest in a good replacement that suits your weight rating better.

If your caravan has a load capacity of 500 kg or below, this is a perfect choice for you. It’s easy to use, adjust, remove, and manoeuvre. Made of solid rubber, it comes with a nylon insert and clamp bolts for secure attachment.

We recommend this product for trailers having 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.

Caravan jockey wheels are small, solid wheels that are attached to the rear axle of a caravan. They are used to support the weight of the caravan when it is not hitched to a vehicle and to maneuver the caravan into position when hitching. Jockey wheels typically have a diameter of 48mm or 60mm and a load capacity of 75kg to 300kg. They may be pneumatic or solid rubber tires.

Important features of caravan jockey wheels:

• Load capacity: The load capacity of a caravan jockey wheel is the maximum weight that it can safely support. The load capacity of a caravan jockey wheel should be greater than the nose weight of the caravan.

• Wheel type: Caravan jockey wheels can be either pneumatic or solid rubber tires. Pneumatic tires offer a smoother ride and are less likely to slip, but they are also more prone to punctures. Solid rubber tires are more durable and less likely to puncture, but they can provide a harsher ride.

• Clamp style: The clamp style of a caravan jockey wheel is the way that the wheel is attached to the caravan. There are two main types of clamps: drop-in clamps and bolt-on clamps. Drop-in clamps are easier to install, but they are not as secure as bolt-on clamps.

• Locking mechanism: Some caravan jockey wheels have a locking mechanism that prevents the wheel from rotating. This can be useful when parking the caravan or when leaving it unattended.

Benefits of using a caravan jockey wheel:

• Safety: Caravan jockey wheels help to keep the caravan stable and level when it is not hitched to a vehicle. This can help to prevent the caravan from tipping over or rolling away.

• Convenience: Caravan jockey wheels make it easier to maneuver the caravan into position when hitching. They also make it easier to raise and lower the caravan's hitch.

• Protection: Caravan jockey wheels can help to protect the caravan's tires from damage when parking on uneven surfaces.

Tips for choosing a caravan jockey wheel:

• Consider the load capacity of the caravan: Choose a caravan jockey wheel with a load capacity that is greater than the nose weight of the caravan.

• Choose the right wheel type: If you want a smoother ride, choose a pneumatic tire. If you want a more durable wheel, choose a solid rubber tire.

• Choose the right clamp style: Choose a clamp style that is compatible with the caravan.

• Consider adding a locking mechanism: If you are concerned about security, choose a caravan jockey wheel with a locking mechanism.
