Product Information
Full details
The Andes 48mm Jockey Wheel is designed for trailer owners and caravanners who require a robust, heavy-duty support solution for routine towing tasks. It provides a reliable 150kg load capacity and a smooth wind-up mechanism to make hitching and unhitching significantly easier. While it offers excellent durability for standard trailers, users should ensure their trailer drawbar diameter is compatible with the 48mm size before purchase to avoid mounting issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the included split clamp. To install, ensure your trailer drawbar has an existing mounting point or weld a bracket if necessary. Align the split clamp with the drawbar, insert the 48mm shaft, and tighten the clamp bolts firmly to prevent slippage during transit. For maintenance, keep the internal thread of the wind-up mechanism lightly greased to ensure fluid motion. Always inspect the wheel and handle assembly for signs of rust or mechanical fatigue after traveling through wet or salty road conditions.
