All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.
The below capacity ranges indicate the working (dynamic) load that each caster will support. A safety factor should be included in your formula to determine your required load rating per caster.
W/(C-1)=R W is total weight needed to move. C is total number of casters required. R is ideal load rating, with safety factor built in. Divide the total load weight by one less caster than you will use to safely determine load rating.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.

This heavy duty spring loaded gate wheel is engineered to eliminate gate sag, reduce drag, and allow large wooden or steel gates to open smoothly on uneven surfaces. Rated for up to 1,000 lbs, it is the go-to solution for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial gate applications where reliability and load handling matter.
The spring-loaded mechanism automatically adjusts to changes in terrain, supporting the gate's weight while maintaining consistent ground contact. The 8-inch solid blue polyurethane wheel provides excellent durability, quiet rolling, and resistance to flat-spotting under static loads.
Unlike rigid gate wheels, spring-loaded gate wheels actively compensate for gate sag caused by weight or hinge wear, uneven ground, gravel, concrete transitions, and slopes, and seasonal ground movement and settling. The result is a gate that opens and closes smoothly with less strain on hinges, posts, and operators.
This caster is rated for up to 1,000 lbs per unit. For heavier gates, we recommend using two casters — one at each end of the gate.
Yes. The spring mechanism compensates for gate sag by maintaining constant ground contact even as the gate shifts or settles over time.
Absolutely. The spring-loaded design is specifically built for uneven terrain, gravel, concrete seams, and sloped driveways.
Yes. The solid polyurethane wheel resists moisture, UV exposure, and outdoor elements, making it ideal for farm gates, ranch gates, and commercial security gates.
