And there are two different sizes to think about. The most important one is the diameter of the jockey wheel. At ATE, we stock six different diameters. The 35mm, 42mm, 48mm, 48mm serrated, 60mm, and 63mm. The 60 and 63mm diameter are the least common and are capable of up to kg nose-weight capacity.
The second size to think about is the open and closed height. This is only available on adjustable height ones and although this is less important, it does help to know what range of lift is between the two heights. There are several points to consider when choosing a jockey wheel; what type of trailer it is being used on, what diameter you need, whether you need a smooth or serrated one, and whether a retractable jockey wheel would be a good solution.
Thinking of leaving us? The power winch makes the job of getting the caravan into a tight garage or parking spot easy without doing a lot of pushing. Which is the right one?

October 14, This gives a visual warning to the operator that the jockey wheel is still down and should be stowed away prior to departure. The polyester powder coating also offers greater protection against road salts and sea salt. The plating on the KARTT jockey wheel is also a minimum of 12 microns thickness on high quality tube.
It will always look the part. This also enables a smooth winding action. However, it is always wise to periodically strip down the inner from the outer stem and lubricate the moving parts. Periodically check the tyre of the jockey wheel for damage, ensuring that the tyre is free from cuts and missing chunks of rubber so that it will run smoothly on the ground once it is lowered.
The KARTT rubber tyre has been designed to withstand aggressive forces but should still be treated with reasonable care. Likewise the axle spindle that connects the wheel to the jockey wheel forks also runs smoothly and has not been damaged by an impact or by serious overloading. The KARTT jockey wheel has a high quality nylon bearing in the axle spindle to ensure low maintenance and long life.
Check the castor side plates to which the wheel and tyre is fitted. But be sure the jockey wheel you buy will fit the jockey wheel clamp you have or will get. This leads us nicely into the second size consideration, the open and close height. This is only relevant to retractable jockey wheels and relates to the height of the jockey wheel when fully retracted or extended. It is important to make allowances for both heights, as insufficient extension or retraction will cause issues with towing your trailer or hitching and unhitching.
Your jockey wheel selection is most likely going to be be influenced by the previous jockey wheel that was on your trailer, it is best to match it as closely as possible if this is the case, so it fits the clamp. However, if you are buying a brand-new jockey wheel and clamp for your trailer, try to think about the potential nose-loading capacity of your trailer and how you intend to use it. Monthly Archive.
