This SecureFix Direct Heavy Duty Jockey Wheel has a maximum load capacity of 100kg.

What are the dimensions of the jockey wheel?

The tube diameter is 34mm, the tyre width is 37mm, and the tyre diameter is 160mm. It extends from a minimum height of 500mm to a maximum height of 650mm.

How do I protect the jockey wheel from rust?

The jockey wheel features a bright zinc-plated finish for rust resistance. Regular cleaning and drying, especially after exposure to moisture, will help maintain its condition. You can also apply a light coat of grease to moving parts.

Is this jockey wheel suitable for all trailers?

It is suitable for trailers and caravans with drawbars that can accommodate a 34mm tube and a suitable clamp. Always ensure the load capacity is appropriate for your trailer.

How does the 360-degree winding handle benefit me?

The 360-degree rotating handle allows you to operate the winding mechanism from any angle, making it more comfortable and easier to raise or lower the trailer, especially in confined spaces.

What is the weight of the jockey wheel itself?

The jockey wheel weighs 2.83kg.

Troubleshooting

Jockey wheel is difficult to wind.

Ensure the jockey wheel is not under excessive load. Clean any dirt or debris from the winding mechanism and apply a light lubricant to the screw thread. Check that the tube is not bent.

Trailer feels unstable when using the jockey wheel.

Verify that the jockey wheel is fully extended and securely locked at the desired height. Ensure the rubber tyre is making firm contact with the ground. Check that the clamp is securely fastened to the drawbar and the load does not exceed the 100kg limit.

Rust or corrosion is visible on the jockey wheel.

While the zinc plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause minor surface rust. Clean the affected area and apply a rust inhibitor or a thin layer of grease. Regularly wipe down the unit after exposure to moisture.

Rubber tyre is showing signs of wear.

Minor wear is normal with use. If the tyre is significantly damaged or worn down, it may need replacement. Inspect the tyre regularly for cuts or punctures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: The jockey wheel typically clamps onto the trailer's drawbar. Ensure the clamp is securely tightened according to the trailer manufacturer's recommendations. The bore length of 50mm indicates the width of the clamp opening or mounting area.
  2. Adjustment: Extend or retract the jockey wheel to the desired height using the winding handle. Ensure the locking mechanism (if present) is engaged before releasing the load.

  • This jockey wheel is designed for trailers and caravans with drawbar profiles that accommodate a 34mm tube diameter and a clamping mechanism.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the wheel, tube, and handle with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Lubrication: Periodically apply a light lubricant to the winding mechanism screw thread to ensure smooth operation.
  • Inspection: Regularly check for wear on the rubber tyre and ensure all bolts and clamps are tight.
