About These Casters

Heavy-Duty Support for Large Gates

Help reduce gate dragging, sagging, and hinge stress with this 8-inch spring-loaded gate wheel. Designed for heavy outdoor gates, it supports up to 750 lb per wheel when properly installed.

Solid Rubber, Flat-Free Tire

The solid rubber tire requires no inflation and will not lose air or go flat. It rolls smoothly over grass, gravel, dirt, concrete, and other uneven outdoor surfaces, making it a dependable alternative to traditional pneumatic gate wheels.

Built-In Spring Suspension

The enclosed spring provides approximately 1-7/8 inches of travel to absorb shock and respond to minor changes in ground level. This helps the wheel maintain support while the gate opens and closes, reducing downward stress on gate hinges.

Compatible with Wood and Metal Gates

The universal mounting kit includes hardware for both wood and metal gate applications. Use the included hex bolts for solid wood gates and the U-bolts for round or square metal tube frames.

Mounting Hardware Included

  • 6 hex bolts with nuts and washers for wood gates
  • 3 U-bolts for round or square metal frames
  • Dual open-ended wrench for installation

Replacement and Upgrade Applications

This wheel can serve as a flat-free replacement or upgrade for compatible gate support wheels. Please verify the mounting dimensions, gate clearance, frame size, and load requirements before purchasing.

Suitable for driveway gates, farm gates, ranch gates, fence gates, chain-link gates, vinyl gates, PVC gates, aluminum gates, and metal tube gates.
