How do I choose the right spare wheel size for my jockey wheel?
Selecting the correct wheel size depends on your trailer’s requirements:
- 6″ and 8″ Rubber Wheels: Ideal for smaller trailers or lighter loads, these wheels provide smooth maneuverability.
- 10″ Rubber Wheels: Suitable for heavier trailers, offering enhanced stability and easier handling over uneven surfaces.

Why might I need replacement thrust bearings?
Thrust bearings help reduce friction and wear, keeping the jockey wheel’s rotation smooth. Heavy-duty thrust bearings are ideal for frequent or heavy loads, while standard bearings suit lighter or occasional use.
-
What is the benefit of using double clamps or swing-up brackets?
Double clamps offer added security, preventing the jockey wheel from shifting or loosening under load. Swing-up brackets are convenient for stowing the wheel away when not in use, allowing it to pivot out of the way for better clearance.
-
Are the mounting solutions compatible with all jockey wheels?
Many of our mounting solutions, such as the Gen 3 Mini Mover brackets, are designed for secure, no-drill installations and are compatible with specific jockey wheel models. For other jockey wheels, standard clamp and mounting brackets can provide a secure fit.
