Video Transcript for Feature Review Ultra-Fab Steel Mini-Roller for Trailers and RVs

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number UF48-979022. This the Ultra-Fab steel mini-roller for trailers and RVs. The unique roller is designed to weld onto the frame of your trailer or motor home, and that's going to prevent the tail from dragging and digging in while backing up. This is made from a heavy duty steel construction. It's very strong, very durable. Again, it is designed for a weld-on installation.

With this part number you're going to get the bracket, you're going to get the actual steel wheel, you're going to get the bolt, two washers located on each side of the wheel, or one located on each side of the wheel. Two washers total, and a lock nut for the other side. This part number is going to include one roller assembly. If we take a look at some of the dimensions real quick starting with the overall height, that's going to give us a measurement of 2 and 13/16 of an inch. Now the wheel diameter is going to measure 2 and 1/2 inches. The wheel width, that's going to give us a measurement of an 1 and 1/2 and then when it comes to the bracket, measuring this direction, outside edge to outside edge, that's 2 and 5/16 of an inch.

Measuring this direction, outside edge to outside edge is right at 2 inches. That's going to do it for today's review of part number UF48-97922. This is the Ultra-Fab steel mini-roller for trailers and RVs. .

We've all drug the tails of our trailer a time or two. I feel much better after adding these rollers onto my 24' aluminum enclosed car trailer!



by:

This product was exactly what I needed to prevent my cargo carrier from grinding away on grade changes. In order to maximize clearance, I only used the bolt and roller. I cut a rectangular hole on the bottom rear of the main frame tube, drilled a hole for the bolt and the roller slipped right in. After a year of moderate use, there is hardly any visible wear. This has definitely saved wear and tear on my cargo carrier.



by:

These are weld on type wheels and this one has bearings in it along with a grease fitting. I however did not use this on a vehicle. I used this on a wood working table that I made that has a center leg with a tongue jack in it with this wheel attached. Now I can crank up the jack and move my table anywhere in the shop and up by my saw as an out feed table. I purchased another smaller version for my router table cabinet that I am about to build. Great product by the way!

Always a good experience with etrailer

I now roll instead of scraping.

Peoduct is working great. It protects my trailer on steep driveway. Also prevents scratches in my driveway.



by:

Needed these for my 20' dove tail car trailer. Got tired of it dragging tail on grade changes. All that scraping was annoying and causing damage so they are very worth the money. Good solid, simple, design and effective for the price. And as always Etrailer exceeds their own policies, got shipped early....nice bonus.

These wheels save the back of my 22 dove tail almost daily. They WORK.......

Paul

how many did you use on your trailer?

Dave B.

3/14/2016

Paul, I bought 2 one for each corner of the trailer at the back.



by:

Was heavy duty and works good



by:

I am super happy with these wheels. They help me drive up an incline without having to worry about scraping the ground.



by:

Ordered to be welded on the prop guard for my inboard tournament ski boat! Installed and work great!



by:

I haven’t used it yet but it looks sturdy enough for what I’m going to use it for. I’ll be using it on a super truss receiver to prevent the device from bottoming it out so we’ll see.

Awesome devise. Thank you



by:

These caster wheels are exactly as advertised and made of strong heavy gauge steel. They welded on nicely to the rear frame of my toy hauler. I have yet to see them in action, but they should save my bumper and rear stabilizer jacks from being ripped off. I ordered several items at the same time and it took 2 weeks to get half the order and 3 weeks to get the other half.



by:

Very well made ,installed easily using mig welder.Welded it under the trailer hitch reciever. Takes alot of abuse and still works well when the others had failed completely after a few months.Used on 87 Toyota 1 ton full size RV.



by:

I have a drag bar under my boat trailer to protect the prop on my ski boat. I placed four of these wheels on the drag bar and they work great. only problem I have is my weld did not hole on two of them and I lost them, so I need to order two more. product is great.



by:

Added 3 of these rollers to the rear frame and hitch on our 2021 Sanibel fifth wheel, that rides very low on the back end when hooked up. These have helped us several times coming out of steep driveway and backing up into a driveway.



by:

These work great. After a year of use they still look great with very little damage. I have them on a 44' cargo trailer that sits low to the ground so they get tested often. I am very impressed with these and would recommend them to anyone.



by:

Looks like just what I need to weld to my drop hitch. I'm towing a mini-van behind a motorhome and had to get a 10 inch drop hitch which drags on the asphalt at times. The Mini- Roller seems to be well made and of good quality. I'll send a picture when done.



by:

I am using these to make a equalizer frame for a inground automotive lift that I have at my repair shop. The lift is 30 years old but in excellent condition the equalizer overtime had rusted at the bottom finally broke it's made out of heavy I beam. The rollers will be use to keep the frame from moving inside the encloser that the equalizer moves up and down with the lift. The lift is a twin post which is the reason for the equalizer. The replacement is available from ManuFact sure for $1200. I bought the material for less than 200. That's etrailer for the great product and service. Katie is a amazing person that takes care of her customers. I will post pictures when I finally finish it



by:

Super fast shipping and a great product. Purchased these wheels to weld to the underside of the rear end on my 40' enclosed gooseneck trailer due to it dragging the ground when I get off the road onto hilly areas trying to get back in the woods where we camp. Will definitely be doing business here again!



by:

Timely shipping, device installed on a hitch rack, happy customer. Will likely use Etrailer in the future.



by:

I was able top ull out the pin and wheel and add it to the existing skid wheel mount on my camper.



by:

Thanks for the follow up making sure I received my order and on top of emails along the way I have not opened any of it yet but I am sure it will be right for I have ordered other stuff and it’s always been correct and very good products. Thank you to your whole staff for always being committed to quality service.



by:

Wheels have worked well and have not bent or deformed when the trailer has bottomed out on steep driveways.



by:

Very difficult to find item. ETrailer came through! Fast delivery, repairs are done Thanks



by:

Used them before. Good product. Good Price from etrailer

Great service. Fast delivery and parts quality are as described.

  • Adding Rollers To a Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze To Prevent Digging Into Ground
    To prevent the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282 on your 2011 Chevrolet Cruze from digging into the street you will be able to add a Mini-Roller # UF48-979022 to the receiver. This could be placed on the receiver tube or you can also have 2 of them welded to the cross tube on the receiver so it will not hang down as far. This roller will roll along the street/driveway rather than digging into it with a sharp edge. Currently we only have bolt on options like the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer...

  • Best Location to Weld Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller Skid Wheels # UF48-979021 on 5th Wheel Trailer
    Thank you for providing a photo diagram of your 5th wheel rear frame area where you are intending to install Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller Skid Wheels # UF48-979021. The best location to weld on these rollers is at or just behind the point where the trailer's frame is making contact with the ground. If your indicated location is making contact with the ground (but nothing behind it is) then it would be a suitable spot. If there is scraping behind your indicated location, such as on the...

  • Bolt Hole Diameter on Ultra-Fab Steel Mini-Roller # UF48-979022
    I went out to our warehouse to take a look at the Ultra-Fab Steel Mini-Roller # UF48-979022 referenced in your question. I was able to confirm that the bolt hole is exactly a 1/2 inch in diameter. The wheel itself is not available as a separate item but the housing can be easily removed. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.

  • Quantity of Ultra-Fab UF48-979022 Weld-On Mini-Roller
    The # UF48-979022 steel mini-roller is sold individually. If you wanted a pair, you'll want to order two of them. For a bolt-on application, take a look at # UF48-979017 which is sold in pairs. If you click the provided link, you can see product description videos for both parts.

  • Solution For Raising Older Trailer Than Drags On The Ground
    If the trailer has leaf springs under the axles, then you can install an over/under conversion kit to raise the trailer up a few inches. For 2-3/8" axle go with Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 and for 3" axles go with Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00. If the suspension is already over the axles then your other option is to install Lippert Components Standard Axle Lift Kit - 1.88" # LC425750 which adds 1.88" of ground clearance. If...

  • Do Ultra-Fab Steel Mini-Roller for Trailers and RVs Have A Weight Capacity
    I called my contact at Ultra-Fab and asked about the weight capacity of the Steel Mini-Roller for Trailers and RVs, part # UF48-979022. They said there is no weight capacity listed because it is not designed to bear a constant weight. These are designed to be welded to the bottom of a trailer or motorhome at the rear so that when going over an uneven surface the mini-roller is used as a deflector to prevent damage to the underside of the trailer. My contact told me that using these rollers...

  • Drag Roller Recommendation for Boat Trailer with Prop Protector Cut Out
    For your application there really is only going to be a weld on solution that's reasonable like the part # UF48-979022 that you referenced. The frame dimensions are unknown so a weld solution would be better since that really doesn't matter. Welding is typically pretty cheap too. Especially for a small job like this.

  • Diameter of Bolt of Ultra Fab Roller Wheel # UF48-979022
    There is no bearing in the Ultra Fab roller part # UF48-979022. It's basically a solid roller with a 5/8 inch diameter hole that a 5/8 inch diameter bolt runs through.

  • Recommendations of Skid Wheels for 20 Ft. Food Trailer
    That is heavily dependent on the mounting points available for your 20 Ft. food trailer. But I prefer the Ultra-Fab Rotating Skid Wheels, # UF48-979014. These will clamp onto square crossbar locations to help prevent tail dragging and have wheels that rotate for full range of motion. I prefer the ability to bolt in place as opposed to needing to weld. The Ultra-Fab, # UF48-979015 is a similar wheel without the rotating feature. However, if you do not have suitable location to use the...

  • Does the Ultra-Fab Steel Mini-Roller # UF48-979022 Have a Grease Zerk
    The Ultra-Fab Steel Mini Roller that you mentioned part # UF48-979022 does not have a grease zerk. However we do have the Ultra-Fab Jumbo Roller that is 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall that does have a grease zerk and it is part # UF48-979023.

  • Is There a Weight Capacity on an Ultra-Fab Skid Wheel
    The Ultra-Fab Steel Mini-Roller for Trailers and RVs # UF48-979022 is not rated for a weight capacity because these types of skid wheels are not intended to be consistently bearing a load. Because of the function of a skid wheel, the manufacturer does not test them to do anything but redirect the load to keep the frame from making contact. With that being said, this skid wheel is extremely durable and made for heavy duty applications. It will work just fine on a 13000-lbs trailer and...

  • Skid Wheel for a Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2006 Toyota Corolla
    I do have an option for you but the body of the Ultra-Fab Steel Roller for RVs part # UF48-979020 is designed to surround a 2" trailer hitch receiver and since the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11265 for your 2006 Toyota Corolla has 1-1/4" receiver which is obviously smaller, the fit will be very loose and not secure. The only option I have for you would be to weld the Ultra-Fab Steel Mini-Roller for Trailers and RVs part # UF48-979022 onto the bottom of your trailer hitch receiver...

  • Will the Draw-Tite Hitch Part # C12225 Scrape on a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix
    Whenever you install a trailer hitch receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12225 on a vehicle that sits low like your 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, the chance of scraping is always going to be a concern. However, what you can do is have a skid wheel like part # UF48-979022 welded to the bottom of the receiver tube as this would then prevent any scraping. This is the only option we have to prevent scraping. If you can tell me what you will be using the trailer hitch for, I would...
