Today we're going to be taking a look at part number UF48-979023. This is the ultrafab steel jumbo roller for trailers and RVs. The unique roller is going to weld onto the frame of your trailer or motorhome and that is going to help prevent tail dragging and digging in while backing up. It's made from a heavy duty steel construction. It's very strong, extra durable, it is designed for a weld-on installation. One of the things I want to point out is, here on the this side, you're going to notice a grease fitting.
It allows for easy maintenance and easy lubrication. The wheel or the roller here is going to have internal bearings that need to be lubricated and a inaudible 00:00:36 fitting makes that very easy to do that. We're going to go and take out these components here. It's going to come with your lock nut, you're going to get your bolt. Again, it's got the fitting in there, pump it in, your grease is going to come out of this portion right there which is going to line up with the holes inside here and that's designed to grease the bearings inside the roller. You're going to get the roller and the weld-on bracket. Now with this part, you're going to get one assembly.
We're going to take a look at the overall dimensions real quick. When it comes to just the roller, that's going to give us a diameter of about two and a half inches. Taking a measurement here of the weld-on bracket, measuring in this direction, outer edge to outer edge, we're looking at about three inches. If we go this direction, edge to edge, that's going to give us a measurement of about two and a half inches. Take a look at the overall height from the bottom of the roller to the top of the bracket, see there it's going to give us a measurement of about three and a half inches. That's going to do it for our review of part number UF48-979023.
This is the ultrafab jumbo roller for trailers and RVs. .

Help prevent damage to your RV's undercarriage by welding this 3" diameter steel wheel onto your trailer or RV frame.I have high hopes for these. They are installed, but untested, the reason for only four stars. My welder welded them to a 2 inch tubular steel piece and then to the bottom of the I-beam frame of my 27’ Travel Trailer. He also added a small triangular piece at the front, as you can see in the photos. I’m hoping that if and when they get “used”, that they won’t twist the I-beam laterally.

These wheels are well made and excellent. Durable and helps prevent damage to the back of our trailer
These are high quality and work extremely well on the back of our trailer. Highly recommended
I haven't had product welded in place yet, but am impressed with the quality. These hitch saving wheels should take care of my tail dragging issue on 49' rig. Thanks for prompt service. Would be helpful to RV park if my name was on order, as order was placed. This issue has happened previously when I had sent to N RV park. All else very good!
Can't get a more basic product. Bought a 28 foot gooseneck enclosed trailer. have a 15 foot long apron to back into my parking pad that also rises nearly 2 feet in elevation. Bought these to make sure the few times the back end would get low enough due to approach angle, I'd be rolling on these rather than scraping rear. I welded on the last 6 inches of the tube steel stringers that comprise the bulk of the under structure of this trailer.
This was a replacement for one that broke related to weight & going over railroad tracks causing the impact to break the center pin end off. I've had a set of these on my horse trailer for a few yrs & they've done great!
Like everything else I've purchased from etrailer over the past few years,"PERFECT". Dose the job it was designed for. Tough as hell.Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.Great product and great service from etrailer, as always.
I had these professionally welded on my 15K pound 43 ft fifth wheel. Without a doubt these saved my rig from damage on multiple occasions and they did not get damaged in the process either. I highly recommend them to anyone who has a trailer or RV that drags it’s tail.
Parts came quickly from time order was placed! With heavier parts, no damage to package, someone took the time to do it right Excellent service !! Just what I needed as described.
Very heavily made, works out well on our trailer, if they only skid once they will pay for themselves.
Got these welded on at a local shop, work like a charm and prevent the tail of my 24 foot car hauler from dragging going in and out of driveways. As always, great price and fast shipping from etrailer.
The roller and weld on holder are well constructed and are substantial. The through bold or axle is internally drilled to enable greasing of the wheel on the axle. This weakens the bolt which broke on the first dragging event. I replaced it with a solid hardened bolt which I greased before inserting it and it has worked well.
These are heavy duty AF! Incredibly heavy and strong. I just wish the inside of the bracket had some type of coating to help inhibit rust. I'll definitely paint the exposed outside once it's welded, but painting the inside of the bracket will be difficult.
Jenny N - 06/11/2022these have saved my rear bumper a couple times already.
this is really a heavy duty product
Best price on the internet. Seriously beefy rollers!
I have only installed them at this point, but the quality of the metal is great. A toque spec for the through bolt would have been nice, as well as optimal roll suggestion. I tightened the bolts so that the roller could roll freely without friction, but there are slight gaps. If you close the gaps the rollers will still roll but with a fair amount of friction. In my photo you can see I used a 2x4 as a straight edge from the tire to the roller to make sure my Jack would not drag in the future.
Phenomenal !!! I welded on two on my back bumper of my 30ft 5th wheel. I just take it easy as I exit a steep driveway that egresses into a level street. Lifts the back end right up instead of scraping. Get the idea when I heard this awful noise and saw a 5th wheel almost tear his bumper off.
Heavy duty fabricated assembly
Excellent product well engineered. Highly recommend
HEAVY DUTY AND WORKED PERFECTLY TO KEEP THE CAMPER FROM RUBBING THE GROUND
Just received my Jumbo Roller today, via UPS Ground. Didn't have it welded on yet but it arrived quickly and I was surprised by the weight. Feels and looks like high quality.
These were just what i was looking for. Very strong. My driveway is very steep and even with the ramp I built I was still having issues with dragging the skids on the hitch. As you can see from the pictures I set them just a little lower than the skids. They work great.
Heavy duty rollers with internal bearings and grease zerks. Now I don't have to worry about damaging my trailer pulling into a parking lot.
Works great!
