Common questions about AL-KO 8" Premium Side Wind Jockey Wheel with Clamp

Why side-wind instead of a top handle?

Because the handle clears the tow vehicle. With a top-wind wheel you are reaching over the drawbar and cranking with the ute's bar in your way; the side handle sits out clear, so you can wind while watching the coupling drop onto the ball. Easier on the back too.

Is an 8" wheel big enough for a caravan?

For a single-axle van on formed sites, yes. The 400kg static capacity covers most ball weights and 7.5kg is light enough to lift off and stow. Where 200mm struggles is soft sand and long pushes over gravel, where a bigger wheel rolls instead of ploughing.

Can I leave it down while towing?

No, and it is the most common way these get destroyed. Wind it fully up, seat the shaft in the clamp groove and nip the clamp tight, then give it a shove to make sure it cannot creep. A jockey wheel that touches a speed hump at speed bends the shaft.
