I believe that some people on here may have the Alko jockey wheel that automatically measures the noseweight.

Does it work well? is it worth fitting?

I am finding it a faff to use a Milenco nose weight gauge every time...

I have a 2005 Triton with a two hole fitting standard jockey wheel, although i can see that it would be easy to fit a four hole jockey wheel.

Cheers,

Brilliant. That's just the kind of info I need. I'm thinking it's a route I will go down because it's simple, it's permanently attached, it frees up a little bit of locker space - and it works!

Just picked a second hand one up for £30 on Ebay. Always good prices for things on auction that are "collection only" - and, on this occasion, not too far away, either.

The best part is when used with a mover on rough ground, the wide wheel coupled with the soft suspension from the jockey wheel smooth's out all the lumps and bumps on the pitch and glides over the gravel, it well worth it just for that, the nose weight gauge is a bonus.

I'm surprised that a reading of 80kg at the jockey wheel reduces to 63kg at the nose. I understand that there would be some reduction but that seems a lot for such a small distance.
On my current van I work on the basis that a weight placed on the central chest is about halfway between hitch and axle and therefore something placed there imparts about 50% of its weight on the hitch but I'd assume the jockey wheel is much closer to the hitch and the effect would be much less.

I'll have a good look at the manual I downloaded today and have a calculation of the weight to set when I get the chance. Pouring with rain now, of course...

Do I need a 4 bolt clamp to keep this jockey wheel properly in place (à la modern Eribas), or can I use it with the original two bolt clamp?
