Frequently Asked Question

What load rating should I choose?

Choose a rating above the actual load carried at the coupling, not the trailer's full ATM. The jockey wheel supports the front of the trailer when it is unhitched, so drawbar load is the key figure. Allow some margin for uneven ground and packed gear. A higher rating does not help if the clamp, bracket or drawbar mounting point is not rated for the same load.

How do I check the mounting fit?

Measure the drawbar width and height, then compare those figures with the clamp or U-bolt dimensions. For swivel models, check that the bracket has room to rotate without hitting the coupling, handbrake, wiring or safety chains. You should also confirm the retracted height and extension range. This helps you avoid a wheel that cannot lift high enough or lower far enough.

Should I choose a solid or pneumatic tyre?

A solid tyre needs less maintenance and cannot go flat, which suits firm surfaces and regular road use. A pneumatic tyre can roll more easily over gravel, grass or softer ground, but it needs the correct air pressure and can be punctured. Wheel diameter and width also matter. A wider or larger wheel can be easier to move across uneven ground.

When can I repair a jockey wheel instead of replacing it?

A repair can be worthwhile when the main tube and bracket are straight and the damage is limited to a handle, tyre, bearing, clamp or fastener. Replace the full unit if the tube is bent, the winding mechanism slips badly or the mount is damaged. Match spare parts to the model and dimensions, as similar-looking parts may use different threads or pin locations.
