Jockey Wheel 6" (swivel Plate) Kit

The Jockey Wheel 6" (Swivel Plate) Kit is your trailer’s best friend for confident, precise movement on any surface. Designed to attach to the tongue, this compact wheel provides stable ground contact and effortless steering, so you can position your caravan, boat trailer, or utility trailer with minimal effort—even in tight spaces or on uneven ground.

Why this Jockey Wheel stands out

• 6" wheel diameter offers solid support and better traversal over gravel, grass, and uneven surfaces without sinking in.
• Swivel plate enables smooth, 360-degree maneuverability, letting you pivot the wheel out of the way when not in use and align precisely when parking or hitching.
• Compact, portable design stays out of the way when not needed and is easy to store between uses.
• Trailers-friendly compatibility engineered to fit standard trailer frames that accommodate jockey wheels, making installation straightforward for a wide range of setups.

Ideal for

• Caravans and motorhomes needing precise positioning in campsites or driveways
• Boat trailers that require controlled placement on ramps, docks, or uneven shores
• Horse, utility, and small recreational trailers where stability and maneuverability matter

How it helps in real-world use

When you arrive at a campsite or dock, use the Jockey Wheel 6" Kit to lift and rest the trailer on the wheel, then swivel the head to angle toward your parking spot. The wheel’s size distributes weight more effectively than smaller alternatives, reducing sinkage on soft ground and giving you a solid base to guide the trailer into position. It’s particularly useful for tight turnaround spaces, backing into narrow berths, or aligning a hitch with a tow vehicle from awkward angles.

Practical tips

• Before use, ensure the mounting points on your trailer tongue are clean and free of debris to facilitate secure attachment.
• Use the swivel action to redirect the wheel as you move the trailer, keeping the tongue aligned with the tow vehicle for smoother docking.
• Store the jockey wheel in a dry location after use to extend its lifespan and performance.
