All Jockey Wheels
At MAXA Group, we stock trailer jockey wheels designed to make hitching, unhitching and manoeuvring safer and easier. Whether you’re running a plant trailer, site fleet, caravan or general utility trailer, our range of replacement jockey wheels is built for reliability in demanding conditions across the UK.
Our adjustable jockey wheels support trailer nose weight, lift the drawbar to meet the tow ball for easier coupling, and allow smooth 360° manoeuvring when decoupled. We supply complete assemblies as well as individual spares, making it straightforward to replace a worn unit or upgrade an existing set.
Choose from smooth, ribbed and serrated shaft designs to suit different load requirements. For heavier braked trailers or equipment transporters, our heavy duty jockey wheels are built to handle higher nose weights without slip. We stock popular shaft diameters including 48mm and 60mm, along with common 8 inch and 10 inch wheel sizes to match typical UK trailer specifications.
Wheel types include solid rubber jockey wheels for puncture-proof durability in tough working environments, as well as pneumatic models that offer improved grip on soft or uneven ground. Swivel and auto retract jockey wheels are also available, folding neatly away when towing and ideal for low-clearance trailers.

Trailer Jockey Wheels FAQs
What is a jockey wheel used for?
A jockey wheel supports the front of a trailer and helps with positioning, coupling and uncoupling, allowing the drawbar to be raised, lowered and moved more easily when the trailer isn't hitched to a vehicle.
What is a jockey wheel on a trailer?
It's the small wheel-and-bracket assembly mounted on or near the drawbar. It takes the trailer's nose weight when unhitched, so one person can lift, lower and wheel the trailer into position by hand.
Are all jockey wheels the same size?
No. Shaft diameter, wheel diameter and bracket type all vary by trailer make, weight rating and mounting position, so it's worth checking your current jockey wheel or trailer handbook before ordering a replacement.
Do I need a heavy duty jockey wheel?
If you're running a braked trailer, plant equipment transporter, or anything with a higher nose weight, a heavy duty jockey wheel is the safer choice, as standard models are more likely to slip or bend under sustained heavier loads.
What's the difference between a solid and pneumatic jockey wheel?
Solid wheels are puncture-proof and suit hard standing or tough site conditions, while pneumatic wheels offer improved grip on soft or uneven ground.
When should a jockey wheel be replaced?
Replace a jockey wheel if it becomes difficult to adjust, unstable, damaged or excessively worn. Regular checks help identify issues before they affect safe hitching.
Do I need a specific bracket for my jockey wheel?
In most cases, yes. The correct bracket or clamp depends on your trailer's design and mounting position, so it's worth checking fitment before ordering.
Can I replace individual jockey wheel parts?
In many cases, yes. Spare wheels, brackets and clamps are often available separately depending on the type of jockey wheel fitted.
