AL-KO Premium Jockey Wheel with Nose Load Gauge – Noseweight Indicator

AL-KO Premium Jockey Wheel with Nose Load Gauge – Nose weight Indicator

The AL-KO Premium Jockey Wheel with Load Indicator is a high-quality jockey wheel assembly designed for use on caravans and trailers, especially when manoeuvring or preparing for travel. It features an integrated nose weight gauge that helps you quickly and accurately measure caravan noseweight without needing a separate scale — saving time at home or on site.

This jockey wheel comes from AL-KO’s Premium range of towing components, offering robust build quality, corrosion protection and smooth operation. Its swing arm suspension cushions uneven surfaces and the wide, grooved 230 × 80 mm solid rubber wheel provides excellent stability and traction across different terrains.

📈 Why It Matters

Correct noseweight (static load on the towball) is crucial for safe caravan towing — too much or too little can affect handling and cause instability at speed. With the integrated load display on this AL-KO jockey wheel, you can check and adjust noseweight instantly before departure, ensuring safer towing and better peace of mind.

The swing arm suspension and extra-wide wheel design also make manoeuvring with or without a motor mover easier and smoother, even over rough ground, paving slabs and soft grass.

Installation and Use Tips

• Ensure the jockey wheel is securely clamped to the draw bar or jockey wheel bracket according to caravan manufacturer instructions.

• Use the nose weight gauge before hitching to check that your static noseweight is within the caravan’s recommended range.

• Store the wheel and crank safely during travel to avoid rattles and reduce dust ingress
