Installation
Use four rollers per gate—two top and two bottom. Mount rollers to dedicated roller posts on the inside of the fence line. Set heights so a straight rail laid across the rollers sits level; tighten U-bolts to lock position. Add roller guards/covers to shield pinch points where required. Establish a periodic inspection schedule and service bearings as needed based on site traffic.
Buying Guide
- Pick the post size: Choose 3″ (2-7/8″ O.D.) or 4″ (4.000″ O.D.) to match your roller posts.
- Match the frame: These assemblies are designed for a 2-3/8″ round gate frame (2-1/2″ nominal).
- Plan for safety: Use guards/covers where required and verify clearances/entrapment protection when adding an operator.
- Maintenance: Inspect fasteners and roller action regularly; lubricate per site use and environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many rollers does one gate need?
- Most cantilever gates use four rollers—two top and two bottom. Very large or heavy gates may require additional hardware per your plan.
- Will these work with an automated operator?
- Yes. They’re suitable for automated slide gates when installed as part of a compliant system and maintained properly.
- What gate frame size do these rollers carry?
- They’re designed to support a 2-3/8″ O.D. round gate frame (2-1/2″ nominal).
- Do I need roller guards?
- Yes, where standards or site policy require guarding of exposed rollers. Guards help reduce pinch-point risk.
- What’s the difference between the 3″ and 4″ models?
- The size refers to the roller post. Select 3″ (2-7/8″ O.D.) or 4″ (4.000″ O.D.) to fit your project.
Comparison
- Heavy Duty Nylon (Polymer) Rollers (this item): Rugged assemblies with smooth ball-bearing travel and corrosion-resistant components.
- Galvanized Steel Rollers: Traditional, heavy-duty feel; may require more frequent lubrication and can transmit more noise.
- Premium Polymer Rollers: Often add sealed bearings and enhanced guards for reduced maintenance and quieter operation. Choose based on duty cycle and site requirements.
