A V-groove wheel needs a matching inverted angle track. Match the groove angle and width to the track before ordering. Wheels without a rig bolt into your own bracket. For more track wheels see V-track sliding gate wheels.
It bolts under the free end of the gate. The wheel holds up that end and the spring lets it follow uneven ground, so the hinges and post carry less weight.
Spring-loaded gate casters here are rated 110 to 1,000 lb each. V-groove wheels for sliding gates run from 350 lb up to Hamilton forged steel casters rated in the thousands of pounds.
A wheel with a V-shaped groove that rides on an inverted angle-iron track, used on sliding gates.
