Jockey Wheels & Prop Stands

Jockey wheels and prop stands are essential components for trailers, caravans and any vehicle towing system. They provide stability when stationary, make hitching and unhitching easier, and help prevent unwanted movement. At L&S Engineers, we supply a range of high-quality jockey wheels and prop stands designed to handle heavy loads and resist corrosion.

Our jockey wheels are available in a variety of sizes and styles, including solid rubber and pneumatic options to suit different towing setups. We also offer prop stands in multiple sizes, complete with adjustable feet for secure, stable support.

What is a jockey wheel?

A jockey wheel is a support wheel fitted to the front of a trailer or caravan. It carries part of the trailer’s weight when it is not hitched to a vehicle and allows you to raise or lower the coupling height. The wheel usually swivels or folds away when not in use, making manoeuvring and positioning the trailer much easier.

By distributing nose weight and aiding movement, the jockey wheel plays a vital role in safely handling and storing a trailer or caravan.

What is a prop stand?

A prop stand — sometimes called a trailer jack — provides additional stability when a trailer or caravan is parked. Attached to the chassis, it can be raised or lowered to level the trailer and prevent rocking or tipping. Prop stands come in a range of sizes and weight ratings and may be manually or electrically operated.

Trust L&S Engineers for reliable and durable jockey wheels and prop stands that keep your trailer secure, stable and ready for use.
