1x Spring Loaded Sliding Gate Track Caster Wheel

Sliding Gate Caster Wheel Features

Improve the reliability of your curved sliding gate system with our heavy-duty spring loaded gate caster wheel. Specifically designed for curved sliding gate tracks, this wheel provides consistent contact between the gate and the track as the gate travels through bends and changes in direction.

The integrated spring mechanism allows the wheel to automatically adjust to variations in track height and alignment, maintaining smooth operation even on uneven concrete or imperfect installations. This constant downward pressure keeps the gate stable and prevents lifting or chatter when navigating curved sections.

Manufactured from durable steel with a precision-machined wheel surface, the unit is built to withstand frequent operation in both residential and commercial environments. The enclosed housing protects the internal components while the bearing-supported wheel ensures quiet, low-friction movement with minimal maintenance required.

What Does A Spring Loaded Gate Wheel Do?

A spring loaded gate wheel is designed specifically for sliding gates running along curved tracks. It plays a key role in maintaining smooth and reliable gate movement.

Maintains Track Contact
The spring mechanism applies consistent pressure, keeping the wheel firmly seated on the track even when the surface changes height or direction.

Supports Gate Weight During Turns
When a gate travels around a curve, weight distribution changes. The spring loaded wheel compensates for this by maintaining support and preventing the gate from dropping or binding.

Prevents Gate Lift and Vibration
Curved sections can cause standard wheels to lift or chatter. The sprung design absorbs movement and keeps the gate stable as it travels.

Ensures Smooth Operation on Uneven Surfaces
The adjustable travel of the wheel allows it to accommodate minor installation imperfections, expansion in concrete, and long-term wear of the track.

Reduces Wear on Track and Hardware
By maintaining correct alignment and pressure, the caster wheel minimises excessive stress on both the track and the gate frame, extending the life of the system.

Improves Reliability of Curved Sliding Gates
Designed for applications where straight track wheels are not suitable, this component ensures consistent and predictable gate movement through curved track layouts.
