  Product Description
This Crusader 48mm jockey wheel assembly gives you a straightforward solution for manoeuvring trailers around tight spaces or positioning them for storage. The 200mm diameter plastic rim wheel with rubber tyre rolls smoothly across most surfaces, whether you're working on tarmac, gravel, or grass. It fits 48mm diameter A-frames and offers a height adjustment range from 590mm to 820mm, which covers most standard trailer setups. The zinc plating provides decent corrosion resistance, though it's worth noting the plating process can leave some visible blemishes on the finish.

The winding mechanism uses an ergonomically designed handle that makes raising and lowering less of a chore when you're hitching up or storing your trailer. Hard wearing rubber on the tyre means it'll stand up to regular use without splitting or perishing quickly. You get a 58mm bore length and 40mm tyre width, which provides stable support without adding unnecessary bulk to your trailer's front end.

One thing to keep in mind is that the clamp isn't included with this assembly, so you'll need to purchase that separately or use your existing clamp if it's compatible with 48mm tube diameter. The plastic wheel keeps the overall weight down compared to steel alternatives, making this a practical choice for lighter trailers and occasional use rather than heavy commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size A-frame does this Crusader jockey wheel fit?
This jockey wheel assembly fits 48mm diameter A-frame tubes. The bore length is 58mm, which accommodates standard wall thickness tubes. You need to measure your trailer's A-frame tube diameter before purchasing to confirm compatibility. If your A-frame is a different diameter such as 42mm or 50mm, you'll need a different jockey wheel assembly sized accordingly.
Is the clamp included with this jockey wheel?
No, the clamp is sold separately. This assembly includes the jockey wheel mechanism, handle, and wheel but not the clamp that fixes it to your A-frame. You can reuse your existing clamp if it matches the 48mm tube diameter, or purchase a compatible 48mm clamp separately. This allows you to replace worn jockey wheels without buying unnecessary components.
What weight capacity does this plastic wheel jockey wheel have?
Jockey wheels with plastic rims typically handle nose weights up to 150kg comfortably. This makes them suitable for lighter trailers, small caravans, and general utility trailers. The plastic construction keeps weight down but means this isn't designed for heavy commercial use or large twin-axle caravans with significant nose weight. For heavier applications above 150kg, a steel wheel jockey assembly would be more appropriate.
How does zinc plating protect the jockey wheel from rust?
The zinc plating acts as a sacrificial coating that corrodes before the underlying steel. This provides good protection against rust in typical UK weather conditions when the jockey wheel is stored outdoors or exposed to rain. The plating process can leave some cosmetic blemishes on the finish, which doesn't affect function but means the appearance won't be perfectly uniform. For best longevity, storing the jockey wheel under cover when not in use extends the life of the zinc coating.
What's the minimum and maximum height this jockey wheel reaches?
The height adjustment range runs from 590mm at the lowest position to 820mm at full extension. This 230mm range covers most standard trailer and caravan coupling heights. Measure from your A-frame to the ground when the trailer is level to check this range works for your setup. The ergonomic winding handle makes adjusting between these heights straightforward without straining your back.
Will this jockey wheel work on uneven ground?
The 200mm rubber tyre rolls across grass, gravel, and tarmac without getting stuck easily. The tyre width of 40mm provides stable support on moderately uneven surfaces. On very soft ground like mud or sand, the wheel can sink in because the plastic rim is lighter than steel alternatives. For moving trailers on prepared surfaces like driveways, storage yards, or campsites, this jockey wheel handles the job well. Deep ruts or very rough terrain might require a larger diameter wheel or pneumatic tyre for easier movement.
