Heavy-Duty Trailer Jockey Wheel 250 kg – Extra Strong (Ø60 mm, Large Wheel)

This 250 kg heavy-duty jockey wheel is designed to meet the demands of larger trailers and boats, where standard jockey wheels reach their limits. With a larger tube diameter (60 mm) and reinforced build, it offers increased strength and stability when handling a heavy trailer. The oversized wheel with a broad tread is a key advantage – it spreads the load over a bigger surface area, making it easier to move on loose soil, sand, or gravel without sinking. The integrated swivel mechanism (drop-down style wheel) allows quick lifting of the wheel into a raised position when you’re on the road, keeping it safely out of the way.

Applications and recommendations:

• Larger Boats & Trailers: Ideal for trailers carrying boats around 7–8 meters (23–26 ft), large RIBs, or yachts weighing up to ~2 tons. This jockey wheel can handle the higher tongue weight of such trailers while still providing easy handling when maneuvering on land.
• Frequent Use & Heavy Loads: If you regularly detach and move a loaded trailer (for example, at a marina yard, storage facility, or frequent launching), the reinforced construction ensures long-term reliability. The wheel won’t bend or loosen even under repeated near-capacity stress.
• Soft Terrain: The wide wheel (~70 mm width) resists sinking into soft surfaces. This is especially useful when camping by the shore or using unimproved ramps where the ground may be sandy or muddy. The large diameter (~225 mm) helps climb over small obstacles and uneven ground with less effort.
• Swivel Clamp (Easy Stow): The jockey wheel features a 90° swivel clamp mechanism. With a simple pull of the release pin, you can rotate the wheel into a horizontal position beneath the trailer frame. This secures it off the ground during transport, preventing wear or accidents. When parked, release the mechanism and lower the wheel back down in seconds, ready to support the trailer.
• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Every metal component – from the tube to the mounting brackets – is corrosion-protected. Hot-dip galvanization creates a thick zinc coating that shields the steel from rust, even if the surface gets scratched. This jockey wheel is built to withstand continuous outdoor exposure: rain, salt spray, UV rays, all without losing structural integrity.
• Instructions: Ensure your trailer has a suitable bracket for a 60 mm tube, or use the provided clamp (if included in the kit). Periodically lubricate the pivot mechanism and check bolts for tightness. Never exceed a 250 kg vertical load; for exceptionally heavy boats, consider using dual support points or a hydraulic jack for additional support when stationary. With proper use, this heavy-duty jockey wheel will significantly ease the handling of your large boat trailer and extend its service life.
