The Cargo Mate Jockey Wheel with 340kg dead weight rating suits trailers that cop a fair bit of shunting around the driveway or shed. The 8" (200mm) solid rubber wheel keeps its shape under load so the drawbar height stays predictable when you wind the jack up or down. The kit works well on poured concrete or firm gravel where a 200mm wheel still turns without digging in.

The steel body runs a zinc plated finish, so it stands up better to rain and yard runoff than bare steel. The solid rubber tyre cuts out valves and tubes so there is less to fail halfway through a trip. The 340kg rating matches many caravan and RV ball loads, which makes this a smart buy for general touring setups. The gear is straightforward and built tough for repeat use around home or camp.

Q: Is the wheel pneumatic or solid rubber?

The wheel uses a solid rubber tyre. This means there is no tube or valve to leak air over time. It is suited to trailers that might sit in the yard for long periods. Solid rubber also handles small debris better than many air‑filled tyres.

Q: What type of loads is the 340kg rating referring to?

The 340kg figure is a dead weight load rating. This refers to the vertical load the jockey wheel can support at the drawbar, not the total trailer mass. It is important to keep your actual tow ball weight within this limit. Staying within the rating helps the wheel and jack mechanism go the distance.

Q: Does the zinc plating help in coastal areas?

Yes, the zinc plating improves resistance to surface corrosion. Coastal air and salty road spray can attack untreated steel quickly. Zinc plating forms a sacrificial layer that corrodes first. This slows down rust development on the main steel components.

Q: Is this jockey wheel suitable for use on gravel driveways?

Yes, it is suitable for firm gravel surfaces. The 8 inch, or 200mm, solid rubber wheel rolls over small stones better than smaller diameter wheels. On very loose or soft ground any jockey wheel can dig in, so firmer surfaces still give the best results. Regular checks of the mounting point also help maintain smooth operation.
