Trail-A-Mate Hydraulic Jockey Wheel and Jack

We all love it when a product has two uses, especially when they take up a lot of space. The less weight you can carry the better. The Trail-A-Mate jack, is a hydraulic jockey wheel that converts into a jack when you need to level out your rig. Before you unhitch, swap around the wheel for a solid base plate, for a fast and effective way to get a tire in the air. The key features of the Trail-A-Mate jack are as follows: 

• Capability - WLL 1,000kg / ATM 2,900kg
• Versatility - Easily converts from a jockey wheel to a jack
• Ease of Use - Being hydraulic it takes very little effort to operate
• Safety - Fully complies with the Australian mandatory safety standards (2693:2007)

It has many applications and uses as you will see below such as Caravanning, Horse Floats, Trailers, Food Vans, Motor Homes and much more. It is even used by the Australia Defence Force as a way of levelling on uneven ground when carrying a telescope. By attaching four Trail-A-Mate jacks to each corner of a vehicle you can achieve the same result in a caravan. 

In addition to its versatility, Trail-a-mate have spent many years perfecting and refining the Trail-A-Mate jack to be as safe and easy to use as possible. Each year in Australia around 160 accidents are linked to the misappropriate use of vehicle jacks. Deaths and injuries, although being very rare, are possible when using the wrong equipment.
