FAQs
What trailer weight is this clamp handle suitable for?
This clamp handle is designed for trailers with a gross trailer weight of up to 2700kg.
Will this fit my newer Indespension hitch (made after 2009)?
No, this clamp handle is specifically for Indespension hitches made *before* 2009. Newer models may have different thread sizes or clamp mechanisms.
What is the thread size of this clamp handle?
The thread size is M12.
How long is the clamp handle?
The total length of the handle is approximately 18cm.
Is this a complete jockey wheel assembly?
No, this is a replacement clamp handle and pad only, not the entire jockey wheel.
How do I know if I need this part?
You likely need this part if the clamp handle on your compatible Indespension hitch is broken, lost, or no longer effectively secures the jockey wheel.
Troubleshooting
Handle does not tighten the jockey wheel securely.
Ensure the thread size is M12 and compatible with your jockey wheel. Check that the pad is making full contact. If the thread on the jockey wheel itself is damaged, the jockey wheel may need replacement.
Difficulty screwing the handle in.
Verify that you are using the correct M12 thread and that there is no debris in the threads of either the handle or the jockey wheel assembly. Ensure the hitch is compatible (pre-2009 Indespension, up to 2700kg).
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Check that the handle has been fully screwed in and is properly engaged. The internal threading may be worn if the issue persists after tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before installation, verify that your trailer hitch is an Indespension model manufactured *before 2009* and has a gross trailer weight capacity of *up to 2700kg*. The thread size on your existing jockey wheel assembly should be M12.
Installation:
- Ensure the trailer is safely supported and the jockey wheel is in a neutral position.
- Unscrew the old clamp handle and pad completely from the jockey wheel mechanism.
- Screw the new M12 clamp handle and pad into the corresponding thread on the jockey wheel assembly.
- Tighten firmly by hand until the pad makes solid contact with the jockey wheel tube, securing it in place.
Care:
- Periodically check the tightness of the clamp handle.
- Clean the handle and pad with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Protect from excessive moisture and corrosive environments where possible to prolong its lifespan.
