Product Overview

Spring Loaded Gate Wheel – Heavy Duty 8" Polyurethane, 1,000 lb Capacity

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.

Key Specifications

  • Load Capacity: Up to 1,000 lbs per caster
  • Wheel Diameter: 8 inches
  • Wheel Width: 2 inches
  • Wheel Material: Solid polyurethane (non-marking)
  • Mounting Style: Bolt-on bracket for wood or steel gates
  • Spring Deflection: Adjusts automatically to terrain changes

Why Use a Spring Loaded Gate Wheel?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can this spring loaded gate wheel support?

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.

Will this fix a sagging gate?

Yes. The spring mechanism compensates for gate sag by maintaining constant ground contact even as the gate shifts or settles over time.

Can this be installed on uneven ground?

Absolutely. The spring-loaded design is specifically built for uneven terrain, gravel, concrete seams, and sloped driveways.

Is this gate wheel suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The solid polyurethane wheel resists moisture, UV exposure, and outdoor elements, making it ideal for farm gates, ranch gates, and commercial security gates.

Key Features
  • Made to allow gates to open and close freely
  • The Blue Solid Polyurethane wheel offers a 1,000 lb load rating but the spring deflection rating is 700 lbs - This means you will be able to support 1,000 lbs per caster but the spring will only absorb shock up to 700 lbs
  • A spring-loaded clamp acts as a shock absorber when the caster is rolling over uneven or rough surfaces
  • Universal mount for wood or metal gates
