  Product Description
The Crusader 48mm Pneumatic Jockey Assembly provides solid support for caravans, trailers and horseboxes during hitching and when unhitched. It's built around a 48mm clamp fitting that works with standard A-frames and features a pneumatic tyre on a plastic wheel measuring approximately 260mm x 80mm. The air-filled tyre makes it easier to manoeuvre your caravan across uneven ground or gravel pitches compared to solid wheel alternatives. With a static load capacity of 150kg, it handles typical caravan nose weights without issue.

At 130cm in length, this jockey wheel assembly offers good ground clearance when raised and plenty of adjustment range when you need to level your caravan on sloping pitches. The pneumatic tyre absorbs bumps better than a solid wheel, which reduces strain on the mounting bracket when you're moving your caravan short distances around your storage area or campsite. The plastic wheel construction keeps the overall weight down to 3.6kg, making it manageable to handle during installation or replacement.

The pneumatic tyre will need checking for pressure occasionally and can puncture if you run over sharp objects, but most caravanners find the improved manoeuvrability worth the minor maintenance. The 48mm clamp size fits most standard caravan A-frames manufactured in the last twenty years. This assembly works well as a replacement for worn-out jockey wheels or as an upgrade from basic solid wheel types on trailers and horseboxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 48mm refer to on this jockey wheel assembly?
The 48mm measurement refers to the internal diameter of the clamp that fits onto your caravan or trailer A-frame. This is the standard size for most UK caravans manufactured from the late 1990s onwards. You need to measure the outside diameter of your A-frame tube to confirm it matches before ordering. Most modern caravan A-frames use 48mm or 50mm tubes.
What's the difference between pneumatic and solid jockey wheels?
Pneumatic jockey wheels have air-filled tyres that absorb bumps and make it easier to push your caravan across gravel, grass or uneven ground. Solid wheels are puncture-proof but transmit more vibration to the A-frame mounting point and require more effort when manoeuvring on rough surfaces. Pneumatic tyres need occasional pressure checks and can puncture, but most caravanners prefer them for the improved handling.
Will this jockey wheel fit my horsebox or trailer?
This assembly fits horseboxes and trailers with 48mm diameter A-frame tubes and nose weights up to 150kg. Most commercial trailers and small to medium horseboxes use this standard size. Check your existing jockey wheel clamp size or measure the A-frame tube diameter with callipers before ordering. Larger twin-axle trailers or heavy horseboxes might need a higher capacity assembly.
How do I maintain the pneumatic tyre on this jockey wheel?
Check the tyre pressure every few months using a standard bicycle or car tyre gauge. The tyre should be inflated to around 30 PSI for optimal performance. Inspect for cuts, cracks or embedded stones before each trip. Keep a spare inner tube in your caravan toolkit as punctures can happen when manoeuvring over sharp gravel or debris. The valve is a standard Schrader type found on car tyres.
What weight capacity do I need for my caravan jockey wheel?
The jockey wheel needs to support your caravan's nose weight when unhitched. Most single-axle touring caravans have nose weights between 75kg and 100kg, so this 150kg capacity assembly provides a good safety margin. Check your caravan handbook for the actual nose weight specification. Twin-axle caravans or those with heavy front lockers might need higher capacity assemblies rated at 200kg or more.
