Draper Jockey Wheel, 48mm

Move and stabilise heavier trailers with ease using the Draper TT128 Jockey Wheel. Stepping up from lightweight trailer accessories, the TT128 is built for trailers that demand greater load support, a larger pneumatic wheel, and a wider clamp fitting — delivering the control and stability needed when handling substantial loads on uneven or outdoor terrain.

260mm Heavy-Duty Pneumatic Wheel The standout feature of the TT128 is its 260mm diameter pneumatic tyre — a significant upgrade over the solid wheels found on lighter jockey wheel models. The pneumatic tyre absorbs bumps, dips, and rough ground, making it far easier to manoeuvre trailers across uneven surfaces such as gravel driveways, farm tracks, grass, and cobbled yards. The larger diameter also reduces rolling resistance, so moving even a loaded trailer by hand becomes noticeably more manageable.

48mm Clamp for a Secure, Rattle-Free Fit The TT128 is fitted with a 48mm diameter clamp — a larger size than standard 35mm clamp models — designed to suit the heavier-gauge A-frames and drawbar tubes typically found on larger trailers. The clamp secures firmly around the tube, providing a rattle-free attachment with no movement or play during use.

Height Adjustment Handle for Easy Operation The integrated height adjustment handle allows smooth, precise raising and lowering of the jockey wheel, making hitching, unhitching, and trailer levelling straightforward for a single operator. The handle provides good mechanical leverage, which is particularly useful when working with heavier trailers where wheel resistance is greater.

136kg Static Load Capacity With a static load-bearing capacity of 136kg, the TT128 comfortably handles the nose weights of medium to heavy trailers — significantly outperforming lighter jockey wheel alternatives. This makes it well suited to boat trailers, general-purpose utility trailers, plant trailers, and larger camping trailers.

Zinc-Plated for Corrosion Resistance The zinc-plated steel construction offers reliable protection against rust and corrosion, ensuring the TT128 remains in good working order even after prolonged exposure to wet weather, mud, and outdoor storage conditions.

Variant Comparison Table

What size clamp does the Draper TT128 jockey wheel fit? The TT128 uses a 48mm diameter clamp, designed to fit the larger A-frame and drawbar tube sizes found on medium to heavy-duty trailers. If your trailer has a 35mm drawbar tube, the Draper TT130 with its 35mm clamp would be the more appropriate choice.

What is the advantage of a pneumatic wheel on a jockey wheel? A pneumatic (air-filled) tyre absorbs shocks and irregularities in the ground surface far better than a solid wheel. This makes manoeuvring trailers significantly easier on uneven terrain such as gravel, grass, farm tracks, and cobbled surfaces — reducing the effort required and providing smoother, more controlled movement.

How much weight can the Draper TT128 jockey wheel support? The TT128 has a static load-bearing capacity of 136kg, making it suitable for the nose weights of medium to heavy trailers including boat trailers, larger utility trailers, and plant trailers.

What is the difference between the Draper TT128 and TT130 jockey wheels? Both are zinc-plated steel jockey wheels with height adjustment handles, but the TT128 is the heavier-duty option. It features a larger 48mm clamp, a bigger 260mm pneumatic wheel, and a higher 136kg load capacity, compared to the TT130's 35mm clamp, 160mm solid wheel, and 75kg capacity. The TT128 is better suited to larger trailers and rough terrain, while the TT130 is ideal for lighter trailers on more even surfaces.

Does the pneumatic tyre on the TT128 require maintenance? As with any pneumatic tyre, the air pressure should be checked periodically to ensure it remains correctly inflated for optimal performance and load support. Check the tyre sidewall or manufacturer guidelines for the recommended pressure.

Is the Draper TT128 suitable for a boat trailer? Yes. The TT128's 136kg load capacity, 48mm clamp, and large pneumatic wheel make it well suited to boat trailers, which often have heavier nose weights and are frequently manoeuvred across slipways, gravel, and uneven ground where a pneumatic tyre offers a clear advantage.
