Looking for a jockey wheel that won’t let you down? Treadway stocks a range of trailer jockey wheels built for New Zealand’s toughest jobs — from boat trailers to digger haulers. Whether you're replacing a worn-out unit or starting a fresh trailer build, we’ve got the gear to keep you rolling.
What Does a Jockey Wheel Actually Do?
It's the unsung hero of your trailer setup. A jockey wheel takes the weight off your tow ball, helps manoeuvre your trailer by hand, and keeps it level when unhitched. Without one? You’re lifting dead weight.
Choosing the Right Jockey Wheel
Not all jockey wheels are built the same. We stock fixed, swing-up and clamp-on styles to suit everything from box trailers to boat trailers and digger haulers. Need help deciding? Give us a bell — we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
Heavy-Duty Options for Serious Loads
If you're towing plant equipment, work gear or anything with heft, go for a heavy-duty jockey wheel with a solid clamp and high load rating. We’ve got options with reinforced brackets, smooth-rolling solid rubber wheels, and dependable steel construction.
Fitting and Replacing a Jockey Wheel
Most jockey wheels are straightforward to install — a couple of U-bolts and you're good to go. If you're upgrading or replacing a broken unit, just check the shaft size and mounting style. Still unsure? Call us. We speak trailer.
Why Buy from Treadway?
We’re a 100% NZ-owned business that’s been supplying trailer parts since 1976. Our jockey wheels are tried and tested by engineers, tradies, and trailer manufacturers across the country. We ship fast and we stand behind what we sell.
