Electric Jockey Wheels & Motorised Trailer Movers
Our range of electric jockey wheels and motorised trailer movers is designed to make positioning caravans, boat trailers, utility trailers and other towable equipment easier where using a tow vehicle is impractical.
Powered from a compatible 12V battery supply, these compact movers provide powered forward and reverse movement to help manoeuvre trailers into garages, driveways, storage areas and campsite pitches.
Why Choose an Electric Jockey Wheel?
A motorised jockey wheel can be a practical option for low-speed trailer positioning where space is limited and manual pushing is difficult.
-
Powered manoeuvring: Electric drive can reduce the physical effort required when positioning a suitable trailer on firm, relatively level ground.
-
Forward and reverse control: Motorised movement can help with careful positioning in tight spaces such as garages, driveways and storage compounds.
-
12V operation: Many electric jockey wheels operate from a compatible 12V leisure or vehicle battery, depending on the model and installation.
-
Versatile trailer use: Depending on the product specification, electric jockey wheels may be suitable for caravans, boat trailers, catering trailers, utility trailers and other towable equipment.
Choosing the Right Motorised Trailer Mover
The correct electric jockey wheel depends on the trailer weight, nose load, surface conditions, gradient, tyre traction and the mover's rated capacity.
Performance can vary significantly between smooth tarmac and loose gravel, wet grass or sloping ground, so the operating surface should be considered alongside the trailer specification.
Before purchasing, check the mover's maximum rated trailer weight, jockey wheel mounting arrangement, clamp compatibility, electrical requirements and any stated gradient limitations.
Electric Jockey Wheels for Caravans & Trailers
Electric jockey wheels are commonly used as compact caravan movers and electric trailer movers where occasional powered manoeuvring is required.
They differ from permanently installed axle-mounted caravan mover systems, so the best option depends on the trailer, surface, available traction and how frequently the trailer needs to be manoeuvred.
