Cast Iron V-Groove Track Wheels

These cast iron and ductile V-groove track wheels ride angle iron and V-track on gates and guided cars. Wheels in this collection range from about 350 to 7,000 lb per wheel. Materials include cast iron, ductile iron, solid polyurethane, and polymer. Soft polyurethane on aluminum (~85 Shore A) or TPR is not the usual pick on steel rail. Hard iron or ductile clears track debris better. Match groove and capacity to the gate or car weight before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you place your order today. Keep the load on the rating for that SKU and do not exceed it in service. Verify the stem or plate matches your old unit before you buy. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Capacities below are per wheel as labeled.

How V-groove track works

A machined V follows inverted angle iron so the load stays on a guided path. A relief groove at the base of the V helps equalize load on each face and sheds debris. Many wheels also keep a partial flat tread so the cart can roll off track onto the floor [S2][S3].

Track tips

Track alignment matters; misaligned rails bind V-groove wheels [S2].
One track with flat wheels on the other side can forgive imperfect parallel rails [S3].
Confirm bore, hub length, and groove width against your angle iron.

V-groove track questions

What capacity range is here?

About 350 lb to 7,000 lb per wheel on active listings.

Why are polyurethane wheels in a cast iron collection?

The handle title is cast iron V-groove, but the live collection also includes polymer and solid polyurethane V-groove treads. Filter by wheel material on the page.

Can these roll off the track?

Many V-groove wheels keep a partial flat tread for short floor travel. Confirm the listing face style for your cart path.

Iron or polymer for outdoor gates?

Iron for heat and max load. Polymer when rust on the tread is the bigger risk. Confirm capacity and temperature on the listing.
