Product Description

Heavy-Duty Wood Swing Gate Wheel — Galvanized, Bolt-On Plate (Professional Grade)

• Supports Heavy Wood Gates — Carries the leading edge to reduce hinge stress and help prevent sag
• Professional / Fence-Contractor Grade — Rugged galvanized steel bracket with solid wheel chosen by pros for tough, outdoor service
• Bolt-On Mount for Wood Frames — Wide plate with multiple holes lags directly to 2× wood rails/stiles
• Smooth Travel on Flat Aprons — Ideal for concrete, asphalt, and well-compacted driveways or walks
• Maintenance-Friendly — Simple, serviceable design built for years of operation

Add dependable ground support to a heavy or extra-wide wood swing gate with this heavy-duty galvanized gate wheel. The bolt-on plate fastens to your wooden gate frame with exterior-grade lag screws (not included), positioning the wheel under the leading edge so the leaf rolls cleanly and places less load on the hinges. For double-drive gates, pair with a lockable drop rod kit to hold the leaves closed against wind and traffic.

Why Choose This

• Chosen by professionals — Contractor-grade bracket and wheel assembly stands up to daily use
• Helps prevent sag — Shares gate weight so hinges and posts stay straighter, longer
• Fast installation — Bolt-on plate aligns easily and secures with common lag screws
• Low upkeep — Galvanized steel resists corrosion in outdoor environments

Specifications

Installation

With the gate closed and square, hold the wheel under the leading edge of the bottom rail and position the plate so the wheel rests on the apron. Mark hole locations, pre-drill pilots, and secure the plate with exterior-grade lag screws of appropriate length (not included). Verify clearance throughout the swing arc, then tighten all fasteners. Re-check after a week of use and adjust as needed.

Buying Guide

• Surface conditions: This wheel is intended for flat, hard surfaces (concrete/asphalt). For rutted or soft ground, consider a pneumatic double-wheel carrier style.
• Single vs. double drives: Add a drop rod kit to secure the leaves at the center when closed.
• Fasteners: Use corrosion-resistant exterior lag screws sized to your frame thickness; pre-drill to avoid splitting.
• Hinges & latches: Heavier gates also benefit from contractor-grade hinges and a reliable latch to keep alignment tight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this help with gate sag?

Yes. By carrying part of the gate’s weight at the leading edge, the wheel reduces stress on hinges and posts, helping the gate stay square.

Is hardware included?

The wheel and bracket are included. Lag screws for mounting to wood are not included so you can choose the correct length and head style for your frame.

Can I use this on gravel or uneven ground?

It performs best on flat, hard surfaces. For rough terrain, a pneumatic double-wheel carrier offers better flotation.

Will it rust?

The galvanized coating provides strong corrosion resistance. Touch up any deep scratches to protect exposed steel.

Can I retrofit an existing gate?

Yes—bolt the plate to the wooden frame with exterior-grade lag screws after confirming swing clearance.
