Wheel = wheel diameter · capacity is per wheel.
Track wheels that ride on angle iron or flat rail: V-groove wheels in cast iron, ductile iron and NyloForce polymer, and Hamilton single and double flanged wheels.
A V-groove wheel has a notch that rides on an upturned angle iron, the usual setup under sliding gates and track carts. A flanged wheel has a raised lip on one side (single flanged) or both sides (double flanged) and runs on flat bar or rail [S1]. Hamilton notes that running on track takes the load off the floor, which allows higher capacities, easier rolling, floor protection and controlled travel [S2].

Narrow it down: V-groove wheels, cast iron V-groove, sliding gate wheels.
A single flanged wheel has one raised lip and is used where the track or a guide holds the other side. A double flanged wheel has lips on both sides and stays centered on the rail by itself.
On this page, the 10 x 3 in ductile iron V-groove wheel at 7,000 lb.
Yes. NyloForce polymer V-groove wheels are rust-free and rated 2,200 lb in 4, 5 and 8 in sizes.
Some do. Hamilton WFT wheels come with plain bores or roller, tapered or ball bearings, and NyloForce wheels use 6205 ball bearings. Check each listing.
