5" Pressed Steel Rear Wheel for Rolling Chain Link Gates, Galvanized

Product Description

5″ Pressed-Steel Rear Wheel for Rolling Chain Link Gates — Galvanized (Fits 1-5/8″ Track)

• Supports the Gate’s Rear — Rolls along a 1-5/8″ O.D. round track pipe to carry the back of the gate
• Pressed-Steel, Galvanized — Durable steel construction with zinc coating for outdoor use
• Includes Mounting Hardware — Comes with the bolt & nut to attach the wheel to your rear wheel bracket (bracket sold separately)
• Works with Common Frames — Use brackets sized for 1-5/8″ or 2″ gate uprights to suit your frame
• Typical Setup — Most gates use two rear wheels (top & bottom tracks) for smooth, stable travel

Outfit your rolling chain link gate with a galvanized 5″ pressed-steel rear wheel. The wheel rides a 1-5/8″ round track pipe mounted to posts, sharing the gate’s load with the front ground wheels. Each wheel includes the bolt and nut for fastening to a compatible rear wheel bracket (choose bracket size to match your gate frame O.D.). For wider or heavier gates, add additional rear wheels as needed to distribute weight and maintain alignment.

Why Choose This

• Proven design — Simple, rugged, and easy to service in the field
• Weather-ready — Galvanized finish helps resist corrosion
• Installer-friendly — Uses standard track and bracket components
• Scales with gate size — Run a top and bottom wheel, with extras on long/heavy frames

Specifications

Installation

Install your track pipe on posts using compatible track brackets (top and bottom). Place the rear wheel bracket on the gate upright, then insert the wheel’s bolt through the bracket and secure with the included nut. Set one wheel for the upper track and one for the lower track; verify the wheel centers on the 1-5/8″ track and rolls smoothly the full length. Re-check bolt tightness after initial operation.

Buying Guide

• Track size: This wheel is for 1-5/8″ O.D. round track only.
• Gate frame: Choose rear wheel brackets to match your frame O.D. (1-5/8″ or 2″ uprights).
• Quantity: Plan on two rear wheels per gate (top & bottom). Add more for very wide or heavy gates.
• Related parts: Pair with track brackets for the 1-5/8″ pipe and a rear wheel bracket sized to your gate frame (both sold separately).
