GearTrust Trailer Skid Wheels 2-Pack — Weld-On Heavy-Duty Alloy Steel Rollers, Greaseable

GearTrust 2 Pack Trailer Skid Wheels are weld-on, heavy-duty rear rollers designed to protect low-profile trailers, RVs and fifth-wheels from ground contact and towing damage.

If you often back up a trailer with a long overhang or low-hanging hitch points, these compact skid rollers give a sacrificial rolling surface that prevents scrapes, dents, and stuck bottoms. Made from alloy steel with a C-bracket and grease nipple, the pair installs quickly by welding and is sized to clear tight gaps while offering durable performance in marine and road environments.

How do these skid wheels protect my trailer when reversing?

When your trailer tail or rear lip contacts pavement, the skid rollers take the impact and convert sliding friction into rolling motion. That reduces abrasion and sudden catches that can bend seams or scrape finishes.

• Roller surface prevents metal-on-ground contact during back-in maneuvers
• C-bracket design disperses impact forces across the base plate
• Grease nipple keeps the axle turning under repeated use
• Compact 2" x 2" roller minimizes added overhang while providing protection

Are these skid wheels strong enough for heavy trailers and marine use?

The GearTrust rollers are constructed from high-quality alloy steel and a robust mounting base to withstand frequent shocks and corrosive conditions. They’re built for heavy-duty service, suitable for trailers, RVs, and fifth-wheels that experience routine contact or rough surfaces.

• Alloy steel roller and C-bracket for impact resistance
• Weld-on mounting ensures a secure, permanent installation
• Grease fitting for longevity in wet or salty environments
• Designed to tolerate towing and reversing stresses

How easy is installation and maintenance for these rear trailer rollers?

Installation is straightforward: position the C-bracket where protection is required and weld the base plate to the trailer frame or bumper. Once welded, occasional greasing keeps the axle rotating freely and maximizes service life.

• Ready-to-weld design for quick professional or DIY installation
• Mounting base approximately 3" x 2" for common frame widths
• Grease nipple allows periodic lubrication without disassembly
• Sold as a two-piece set for balanced protection on both rear corners

Will these skid wheels fit my specific trailer model?

These rollers are designed as a universal, low-profile solution for many trailer types, including motorhomes, 5th wheels, and low-clearance utility trailers. Because they weld directly to metal surfaces, they adapt to a wide range of frame geometries and overhang configurations.

• Universal weld-on fitting works with most steel trailer frames
• Low-profile 2" x 2" roller suits tight clearance situations
• Set of two covers both sides for symmetrical protection
• Ideal for long overhangs and low rear edges

Who this is for: GearTrust skid wheels are for trailer owners, RVers, and fleet operators who need reliable, space-efficient protection at the rear of low-clearance trailers. Choose these rollers if you want a weld-on, heavy-duty solution that reduces repairable damage during routine backing, works in marine conditions, and is simple to maintain with occasional greasing. They are especially useful for owners of fifth-wheels, motorhomes, and low-profile cargo trailers looking for long-lasting, sacrificial protection against ground contact.
