Product Description
DAC Stealth Round Cantilever Gate Roller Assembly — For Round Gate Posts
- Smooth, quiet travel — Graphite-impregnated polymer rollers provide low-friction movement and reduced noise over long gate runs.
- Commercial steel chassis — Formed steel body with galvanized protection resists corrosion and daily site abuse.
- Round-post carrier — This Stealth model mounts to round gate posts and is designed to cradle a standard cantilever gate frame.
- Operator-friendly — Consistent rolling action helps limit shock loads into gate operators compared with cast-steel carriers.
- Lower maintenance — Sealed bearings and polymer wheels help cut grease-ups and keep debris from affecting performance.
Built for demanding commercial entrances, the DAC Stealth round-post cantilever roller uses a graphite-impregnated polymer wheel set to keep the gate gliding smoothly and quietly through its full travel. The galvanized, formed-steel chassis provides a rigid mounting surface that holds alignment over time, even with high cycle counts and variable weather. Because the carriers support the gate frame off the ground, the system avoids the clogging and seasonal heave that often plague angle-iron ground-track designs. Installers appreciate the predictable, low-drag feel when hand-sliding during setup and service, which makes final alignment at the receiver faster and more accurate. If your posts are **square** instead, see the DAC Stealth Square Cantilever Gate Roller; to shield pinch points and keep debris off the rollers, add Stealth Cantilever Roller Covers.
Choosing the right configuration is straightforward: this round-post carrier is paired with a standard cantilever gate frame profile (typical commercial sets use two top and two bottom rollers). Compared with legacy cast-steel assemblies, Stealth carriers run cleaner and quieter while maintaining stable tracking for operator-driven or manual systems. The sealed-bearing design reduces routine service intervals, and the galvanized chassis stands up to salt, moisture, and everyday wear. When specified and installed correctly, you get a durable, professional solution that keeps entrances moving reliably with less upkeep. Plan your set as a matched system — correct post size, correct frame profile, and covers installed — for the best long-term performance and compliance.

Installation (Quick Steps)
- Confirm sizes — Verify round post size and your gate frame profile; plan for two top and two bottom carriers.
- Mount carriers — Attach to the round posts per orientation; leave hardware slightly loose for alignment.
- Set height & plumb — Seat the gate frame into the rollers; adjust for level, plumb, and smooth travel end-to-end.
- Tighten & guard — Torque hardware and install roller covers to meet guarding requirements and reduce debris.
Buying Guide
- Match the posts — Choose the round-post carrier sized to your site’s post diameter.
- Square-post alternative — Use the Stealth Square Cantilever Roller when your posts are square.
- Add covers — Order Stealth roller covers (top & bottom) to guard exposed rollers and pinch points.
To meet prevailing U.S. gate safety standards, all exposed, weight-bearing rollers and pinch points less than 8 ft above grade must be guarded/covered on slide and cantilever gates (UL 325 / ASTM F2200). Always verify local adoption with your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many rollers do I need?
- Most cantilever gates use four carriers — two top and two bottom — matched to your round post size and gate frame profile.
- What’s the advantage over cast-steel rollers?
- Stealth polymer rollers run smoother and quieter, with sealed bearings and a galvanized chassis that reduce routine maintenance.
- Are roller covers optional?
- No. Under UL 325 and ASTM F2200, all exposed, weight-bearing rollers and pinch points less than 8 ft above grade must be guarded/covered on slide and cantilever gates (applies to automated systems and, per ASTM’s 2023 update, manual slide gates as well). Confirm local adoption with your AHJ.
Comparison
- Stealth Round-Post Cantilever Roller (this product) — For round posts; smooth, low-maintenance operation with polymer wheels and galvanized chassis.
- Stealth Square-Post Cantilever Roller — Alternative when your posts are square; same Stealth construction, square-post mounting.
- Cast-Steel Cantilever Rollers — Traditional style; heavier and noisier with more routine upkeep.
