Explanation:
I don't know if this may be US EN, but I'm more familiar with these as 'jockey wheels' in EN-GB — which led me to this use of an anglicism in FR.

Here is a site where I first found it:

http://www.rsa-fr.fr/RSA_France/SAV_remorques/Porte-bateau/P...

...and a very large number of other occurrences would suggest the term must be quite widespread (I searched on remorque + "roue jockey", returning over 180,000 hits)
