Trailer Spare Wheel Holder

A trailer spare wheel holder is a durable mounting device affixed to the trailer’s frame, drawbar, or sidewall, designed to secure a full-size spare wheel and tyre assembly. Crafted from stamped or fabricated steel, often with reinforced backing plates, the holder employs a clamping mechanism or U-bolt interface that accommodates wheel diameters and rim depths typical of the trailer—commonly 13″ to 16″ units. Mounted either vertically against the trailer face or horizontally under the deck, spare holders are positioned to avoid swinging into other components while preserving ground clearance. When installed on a swing-up jockey wheel or front gate, the holder maintains rear access to the trailer bed. A correctly positioned spare holder reduces downtime by providing immediate access to a replacement wheel and ensures compatibility with the trailer’s suspension and wiring layout.
