Residential Chain Link Double Wheel Carriers, Galvanized - 6" or 8" Wheels

Product Description

Residential Chain Link Double Wheel Carriers — Galvanized, 6″ or 8″ Wheels for Rolling Gates

• Made for Rolling Chain Link Gates — Supports the leading edge for smooth opening and closing
• Adjustable, Bolt-On Fit — U-bolt construction fits 1-5/8″ or 1-7/8″ O.D. gate frameworks
• Choose 6″ or 8″ Solid Wheels — Select the size to match your surface and approach grade
• Galvanized Steel Frame — Corrosion-resistant finish for long service life outdoors
• Reliable on Hard, Smooth Surfaces — Ideal for concrete or asphalt driveways and walkways

These galvanized Residential Double Wheel Carriers are designed for sliding/rolling chain link gates. The carrier bolts to the front (leading) edge of the gate frame with included U-bolts and helps bear the gate’s weight during travel. Solid wheels deliver consistent rolling on flat, hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, making this a durable, low-maintenance alternative to more complex track or cantilever systems for residential drive entries and walk gates.

Why Choose This

• Simplifies operation — Supports the gate where it needs it most: the leading edge
• Durable build — Galvanized steel carrier and solid wheels for everyday use
• Easy to fit — U-bolt mount adapts to 1-5/8″ or 1-7/8″ O.D. frameworks
• Right-size options — 6″ wheels for level approaches; 8″ wheels for slight transitions/thresholds

Specifications

Installation

Attach the carrier to the front (leading) edge of the gate’s bottom framework using the included U-bolts. Set height so both wheels share the load, tighten hardware, and test travel on a hard, smooth path (concrete/asphalt). Clear debris or snow from the wheel path for best performance.

Buying Guide

• Wheel size: Choose 6″ for level, smooth approaches; 8″ adds clearance over small transitions (expansion joints/threshold lips).
• Surface: Solid wheels roll best on concrete or asphalt. For rough/uneven ground, consider a pneumatic “rut-runner” style carrier.
• Gate style: One double wheel carrier typically supports the leading edge of a single rolling gate; rear wheels/track support the trailing end.
• Fitment: Confirm your gate frame O.D. (1-5/8″ or 1-7/8″). Tighten U-bolts evenly and recheck after initial use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include mounting hardware?

Yes. U-bolts and nuts for 1-5/8″ or 1-7/8″ O.D. gate frameworks are included.

Will this work on gravel or uneven ground?

Solid wheels perform best on hard, smooth surfaces like concrete or asphalt. For rough terrain, a pneumatic double wheel carrier is a better fit.

How many wheel carriers do I need?

For a single rolling gate, one double wheel carrier at the leading edge is typical. The rear of the gate rides on track and rear wheels.

What’s the difference between 6″ and 8″ wheels?

Both are solid wheels. The 8″ option adds ground clearance and can roll more easily over small transitions.

Will this fit a 2″ gate frame?

Yes. 2″ nominal round gate tubing is 1-7/8″ actual O.D., which this carrier fits.

Comparison

• Residential Double Wheel Carrier (this item): Solid wheels, galvanized carrier, best on concrete/asphalt, bolt-on fit for 1-5/8″ or 1-7/8″ O.D.
• Pneumatic “Rut-Runner” Double Wheel: Air-filled tires roll better on uneven/rough surfaces; more maintenance than solid wheels.
• Cantilever/Track Gate Systems: Excellent for wide/heavy openings; higher cost and more components than a simple wheel carrier.
