Fitment Notes:
Brian James specifies that the 60 mm auto-retract jockey wheel is standard equipment on many of its twin-axle and tri-axle transporters, while lighter models use a 48 mm telescopic serrated jockey wheel.
Operating Instructions:
The official operating instructions state that the auto-retract model:
- Automatically folds into the travel position as it is wound up
- Does not require a separate side clamp
- Must be fully retracted before towing to prevent damage
Key Features:
- Genuine Brian James replacement part
- 60 mm heavy-duty outer tube for increased strength and stability
- Auto-retract mechanism — folds away automatically, no manual clamp needed
- Serrated auto-locking mount for secure, rotation-free positioning
- Fully hot-dip galvanized for long-term corrosion resistance in Australian conditions
- Heavy-duty solid wheel — puncture-proof and maintenance-free
Benefits of Auto-Retract:
Unlike standard telescopic jockey wheels that require a separate side clamp, the auto-retract design automatically folds into the travel position as you wind it up. This means faster hitching and unhitching, fewer components to manage, and no risk of forgetting to secure a clamp before towing.
Usage Tips:
- Always fully retract before towing to prevent damage
- Lower jockey wheel before unhitching to support trailer nose weight
- Inspect the auto-retract mechanism periodically for wear
- Keep the tube and mechanism clean for smooth operation
- Lubricate moving parts as per Brian James maintenance schedule
