Trailer Jockey Wheel 150 kg – Adjustable (Ø48 mm Tube, 200×50 mm Wheel)

This 150 kg jockey wheel is an indispensable accessory for any small trailer, enhancing convenience and safety when handling your boat trailer. Adjustable height allows you to set the trailer tongue level to match your towing vehicle or to level the trailer when parked. The solid tire (200×50 mm) ensures smooth rolling and does not flatten under load, which is especially useful when manually moving the trailer on hard surfaces.

Key features and usage:

• Trailer Maneuvering: With this jockey wheel, you can easily move the trailer by hand without having to lift the entire weight. The wheel lets you guide and pivot the trailer when hitching to the vehicle or storing it in a garage/parking space. It provides a support point for the trailer to roll on, instead of dragging the coupler on the ground.
• Stabilization when Parked: Once uncoupled from the vehicle, the jockey wheel supports the front of the trailer, stabilizing it and preventing unwanted movement or tipping. This is especially helpful during loading/unloading of the boat on land or for long-term storage of the trailer and boat.
• Height Adjustability: Using the clamp, you can quickly alter the height of the trailer tongue. This makes hitching up easier – adjust the height to align with your vehicle’s hitch, then lock the wheel in place. The adjustability also allows you to level the trailer when parked, avoiding any tilt of the boat.
• Robust Construction: The wheel features a metal rim and a solid rubber tire that can withstand rough surfaces (asphalt, concrete, hard soil) without damage. The 48 mm steel tube is industry-standard – fitting most available jockey wheel clamps. The entire assembly is hot-dip galvanized, meaning it has a high-grade rust protection and can endure years of outdoor exposure and saltwater spray.
• Easy Installation & Compatibility: If your trailer didn’t come with a pre-mounted jockey wheel bracket, it’s easy to add one. This unit is compatible with standard Ø48 mm clamps that bolt onto the trailer drawbar. Attaching and detaching the wheel is quick, which is convenient for maintenance or stowing it away when not needed.
• Recommendations: Although rated for up to 150 kg, avoid exceeding this load on the jockey wheel. Distribute your trailer’s weight properly and ensure the trailer is loaded such that about 5-10% of the total weight is on the tongue (for optimal stability). Regularly inspect the axle, nuts, and clamp – make sure they remain tight and free of excessive wear. With proper use, this jockey wheel will significantly ease launching, retrieving, and moving your boat trailer.
