Product Information

Full details

This VidaXL motorized jockey wheel is designed for trailer owners needing an easy way to maneuver their trailers, especially in tight spaces. Its primary benefit is effortless trailer repositioning up to 2270 kg, thanks to a powerful 350W motor and robust construction. A key consideration is its requirement for an external 12V battery, which is not included and needs to be sourced separately.

FAQs

What type of battery is required?

A 12V DC battery with a minimum capacity of 24 Ah is required. A deep-cycle leisure battery is recommended for optimal performance.

Can this mover be used on grass or gravel?

The mover works best on hard, flat surfaces like concrete or asphalt. Performance on grass or loose gravel may be significantly reduced.

Is the jockey wheel waterproof?

No, the jockey wheel mover is not waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions or exposed to heavy rain.

What is the maximum incline this mover can handle?

It is suitable for inclines up to 5 degrees.

Does it come with a battery?

No, the 12V battery is not included with the jockey wheel mover.

How do I attach it to my trailer?

It attaches via a height-adjustable clamp and mounting bracket. Ensure the fixing tube diameter (48 mm) and accessory hole spacing (158 mm) are compatible with your trailer.

What is the maximum weight the mover can handle?

The maximum vehicle load capacity is 2270 kg, and the maximum jockey wheel load is 272 kg.

Troubleshooting

Mover does not power on.

Ensure the 12V battery is correctly connected with proper polarity. Check that the battery has sufficient charge. Verify the connection cord is secure.

Mover operates slowly or struggles with load.

Check if the trailer weight exceeds the maximum load capacity (2270 kg). Ensure the battery is fully charged and capable of delivering sufficient amperage. Verify the surface is hard and flat.

Automatic brake is not engaging.

Inspect the braking mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the unit is functioning correctly according to its design; consult the manual if issues persist.

Wheel is not rotating smoothly.

Check the wheel for debris or obstructions. Ensure the mounting clamp is not overtightening the fixing tube, causing friction.
