60mm Retractable Jockey Wheel (Automatic Fold-Up / Heavy-Duty)

Effortlessly transition between towing and parking with the 60mm Retractable Jockey Wheel. Engineered for medium-to-heavy commercial trailers, horseboxes, agricultural equipment, and large caravans, this heavy-duty jockey wheel features an automatic retracting mechanism that lifts and folds the wheel parallel to the drawbar as you wind the handle up. This eliminates the need to loosen clamps, manually unhook, or remove the jockey wheel assembly before driving off.

Built around a robust Ø60mm tubular steel outer shaft with an included mounting clamp/bracket, the unit delivers a substantial 300 kg static load capacity and an extended 350 mm lifting stroke. Fitted with a heavy-duty 200 mm solid rubber wheel on a steel rim, it ensures smooth rollability and steady support across gravel, tarmac, campsite grass, and workshop floors.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Automatic Retractable Lift Action: As the handle is wound up to its maximum travel height, the wheel assembly automatically pivots and tucks itself upward into a protected travel position, maximizing ground clearance without having to detach the unit from the drawbar.

• Heavy-Duty Ø60mm Shaft: The substantial 60 mm outer diameter steel tube provides superior structural rigidity and bending resistance, eliminating shaft flex under heavy downward tongue weights.

• Generous 350mm Usable Stroke: An extended vertical adjustment stroke accommodates varied drawbar heights, high-clearance off-road suspensions, and uneven campsite pitches without requiring auxiliary wooden blocks.

• 300kg Static Nose-Weight Rating: Built to safely carry and stabilize tongue loads up to 300 kg, making it well-suited for tandem-axle utility trailers, horse floats, plant trailers, and multi-berth caravans.

• 200mm Durable Solid Wheel: Equipped with a wide, puncture-proof 200 mm solid rubber tire on a reinforced steel hub to ensure smooth rolling and prevent sinking or flat-spotting under continuous load.

• Included Mounting Clamp/Bracket: Comes pre-supplied with its dedicated heavy-duty mounting bracket, ready for secure welding or bolting directly onto trailer A-frames and drawbars.

• Smooth-Action Top-Wind Handle: Ergonomic winding crank with a free-spinning grip provides easy mechanical leverage for rapid, low-effort raising and lowering.

• Corrosion-Resistant Zinc Plating: Heavy zinc-coated/galvanized surface treatment protects internal screw threads and external steel tubing from road wash, salt air, and outdoor weathering.

Ideal Applications:

• Commercial & Industrial Trailers: Plant trailers, tandem-axle goods trailers, and mobile diesel bowsers where frequent hitching and unhitching occurs.

• Caravans & Camper Trailers: High-clearance off-road camper trailers and full-sized tourers requiring maximum ground clearance over rough terrain.

• Horseboxes & Livestock Trailers: Provides high stability and simple one-person operation during hitching and unhitching under heavy nose weights.

• Boat & Marine Trailers: Pavement- and ramp-friendly maneuvering with easy folding to clear driveway dips and slipway angles.
