Jockey wheels are small, retractable
wheels attached to the front of trailers, caravans, or other towed vehicles,
designed to provide support and maneuverability when the trailer is detached
from the towing vehicle. They are essential for easily moving and positioning a
trailer by hand, especially on uneven surfaces or in tight spaces. A typical
jockey wheel consists of a wheel, a height-adjustable shaft, and a clamping
mechanism to secure it to the trailer's A-frame or drawbar. The adjustable
shaft allows for raising and lowering the trailer's front, facilitating
hitching and unhitching. Some jockey wheels feature a swivel function, enabling
easy turning and maneuvering. They are crucial for safe and efficient trailer
handling, preventing strain on the operator and simplifying the process of
connecting and disconnecting the trailer from the towing vehicle.
