Product Overview
The T-REX 12V Electric Jockey Wheel is engineered for heavy-duty movement and control of caravans, trailers, and boats. Whether you’re reversing into a tight campsite or repositioning a heavy trailer on your driveway, this motorised jockey wheel does the job with minimal effort. Featuring a powerful 350W motor and durable rubber tyre, the T-REX can pull up to 3500kg and bear a direct load of 272kg. With intuitive controls, a strong adjustable mounting bracket, and rugged terrain performance, it’s the go-to towing solution for solo operators, grey nomads, and tradies alike.
Key Benefits & Modular Design
Designed with versatility in mind, the T-REX jockey wheel boasts modular components that simplify assembly, transport, and storage. The ergonomic handle connects securely to the motor housing via an intuitive plug-and-lock system. The mounting bracket allows flexible height adjustment, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of A-frame trailers and caravans. Thanks to its detachable structure, you can quickly remove the wheel and stow it when not in use. The modular layout also makes servicing or replacing parts (like control wiring or tyres) hassle-free.
What’s Inside
Inside the T-REX kit, you’ll find a pre-assembled 12V motor housing, solid rubber drive wheel, a two-piece handle with integrated directional switch, a jacking handle for height adjustment, mounting latch plate, lock pin, and heavy-duty power cable. Dimensions are compact yet robust, with a drive speed of approximately 6 metres per minute. The unit requires a 12V battery (minimum 18Ah capacity) and features a rocker control switch for forward and reverse movement. Every part is purpose-built for maximum torque, grip, and reliability.
Durable Construction & Weatherproofing
Constructed from corrosion-resistant alloy and coated in a high-durability finish, the T-REX is made to handle tough environments. The control wiring is shielded, the connectors are water-resistant, and the main frame is built to withstand heat, moisture, dust, and moderate bumps. While not rated for full submersion, this unit performs flawlessly in light rain and dusty outback conditions. Just be sure to store it indoors and avoid use on steep slopes or water-logged areas for maximum lifespan.
How to Use
Attach the latch plate securely to your trailer A-frame using two M12 bolts.
Insert the jockey wheel post and secure it with the locking pin.
Connect the control handle and power leads. Ensure proper alignment of connectors.
Use the jacking handle to lift your trailer onto the wheel (clockwise to raise).
