{"title":"Gate Wheel Castors","description":"\u003cp\u003eA large driveway gate can weigh anything from 50kg to several hundred kilograms - and supporting that weight on two hinges alone places enormous stress on the hinge fittings, the gate structure, and the posts. A \u003cstrong\u003egate wheel castor\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a rolling support point at the free end of the gate, taking the majority of the weight and allowing the gate to swing with minimal effort regardless of its size. At the \u003cstrong\u003eDIY Hardware Store\u003c\/strong\u003e, our gate wheel castors are available for the large timber and metal driveway and field gate applications where a trailing wheel is the practical solution to gate sag and hinge overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGate wheel castors mount to the bottom rail of the gate near the free end, with a rubber or polyurethane wheel that rolls across the drive surface as the gate swings. This dramatically reduces the bending load on the hinges, prevents the gate from dragging and damaging the ground surface, and makes opening and closing a large gate possible for a single person without significant effort. Available in adjustable height and fixed height versions, with wheel sizes suited to different driveway surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolling support for large driveway and field gates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces bending load on hinges to prevent sag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnables single-person operation of heavy gates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable and fixed height versions available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber and polyurethane wheel options for different surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanised steel bracket for outdoor durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"spring-loaded-gate-castor","title":"Spring Loaded Gate Wheel Castor","description":"\u003cp\u003eSupport and protect your gates with our Spring Loaded Gate Wheel Castor.
