Its primary benefit is simplifying the process of attaching and detaching trailers, especially in tight spaces.

Is the clamp included with the jockey wheel?

No, the clamp or bracket for mounting the jockey wheel to the trailer chassis is typically sold separately.

How do I maintain the jockey wheel for longevity?

Regular cleaning of the mechanism and tyre, periodic lubrication of the screw thread, and keeping it protected from excessive moisture will help maintain its longevity.

Can this jockey wheel be used in wet conditions?

Yes, the zinc-plated steel construction offers good protection against rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use in various weather conditions. However, drying and lubricating after prolonged exposure to wet conditions is recommended.

What are the dimensions of the tyre?

The tyre width is 48MM and the diameter is 200MM.

What is the overall height range of the jockey wheel?

The overall height ranges from a minimum of 725MM to a maximum of 1 meter (1000MM).

Troubleshooting

Jockey wheel is difficult to wind.

Clean the screw mechanism of dirt and debris. Apply a suitable lubricant to the thread. Ensure the jockey wheel is not exceeding its 150KG load capacity.

Tyre seems worn or damaged.

Inspect the tyre for significant wear, cuts, or punctures. If damaged, consider replacing the jockey wheel or seeking professional repair if parts are available.

Winding handle is stiff.

The handle mechanism may need lubrication. Apply a light grease to the moving parts of the handle and spindle. Ensure no obstructions are preventing smooth rotation.

Rust or corrosion is visible.

While the zinc plating provides protection, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can cause surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a protective coating suitable for metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely attach the jockey wheel to your trailer or caravan chassis using a suitable clamp or bracket (typically sold separately). Ensure the clamp is tightened firmly.
  2. Positioning: Adjust the jockey wheel to the desired height before connecting or disconnecting your trailer.

Compatibility:

  • Load Capacity: Ensure the maximum load capacity of 150KG is not exceeded by your trailer or caravan.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the jockey wheel, especially the screw mechanism and tyre, to remove dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the screw thread of the winding mechanism to ensure smooth operation. A light grease or penetrating oil can be used.
  • Storage: When not in use, retract the jockey wheel to its lowest position or remove it to prevent accidental damage. Store in a dry place if possible.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the wheel, tyre, and winding mechanism for signs of wear or damage.
