Sliding gate wheel questions

What size V-groove wheel for a residential sliding gate?

Most light residential gates use 3 or 4 in cast iron or steel V-groove wheels. Heavier commercial slides move to 6 to 10 in ductile or forged builds. Size to gate weight at the rollers, not just gate length.

Do I need spring-loaded gate casters or V-track wheels?

Spring-loaded casters support the free end of a swing gate. V-track wheels guide a sliding gate on inverted angle track. They are different jobs.

What is the highest capacity here?

The Hamilton R-MD-104FVT 10 x 4 in forged steel rigid V-groove caster is listed at 16,000 lb. Confirm track and mounting can take that load before you order.
