Ark Products FAQ

What are Ark jockey wheels used for?

Jockey wheels let you move trailers around without a vehicle attached. They're essential for positioning trailers in tight spots, adjusting height for coupling, and taking weight off the drawbar when parked. A good jockey wheel needs a solid clamp, smooth winding action and a wheel that rolls properly under load, and that's what you get with the range stocked here.

How do I choose the right jockey wheel?

Match the jockey wheel to your trailer's weight rating and coupling height. Consider these factors:

• Load capacity of your trailer
• Clamp diameter that fits your drawbar
• Wheel size for the terrain you work on
• Wind-up range for height adjustment

If you're working on uneven ground or gravel sites, a larger wheel diameter makes manoeuvring easier. For standard concrete or sealed surfaces, a compact model does the job.

Why use a coupling lock?

Coupling locks prevent theft by securing the trailer hitch so it can't be hitched to another vehicle. They're a simple, visible deterrent that takes seconds to fit and gives you one less thing to worry about when you leave gear on site or park up overnight. A quality lock withstands cutting and tampering attempts, keeping your trailer where you left it.

Are Ark coupling locks weatherproof?

Yes, coupling locks are designed to handle outdoor exposure. They're built with corrosion-resistant materials that cope with rain, dust, and UV without seizing up. Regular maintenance, such as a quick spray of lubricant now and then, keeps them working smoothly across all conditions.
