Suitable Applications

  • The JW8SUHD is designed for boat trailers, caravans, camper trailers and general trailers requiring a robust swivel jockey wheel. ARK specifically describes the heavy-duty range as suitable for on-road, off-road and marine applications.
  • The U-bolt mounting arrangement is particularly useful where a bolt-on installation is preferred instead of welding a mounting plate to the drawbar.

Construction & Corrosion Protection

  • The JW8SUHD combines a steel rim and solid rubber wheel with sealed bearings and ARK's rust-resistant Dacromet finish. These characteristics make it particularly useful for boat trailers where components are regularly exposed to water, road spray and coastal conditions.

Signs of Replacement

  • Replace or service the jockey wheel if you notice excessive wheel or bearing movement, difficult winding, a bent shaft or mounting bracket, damaged swivel locking mechanism, severe corrosion, cracked or badly worn solid rubber tyre, or excessive play when supporting the trailer.
