Tech Team #00716 4-Inch Spring Loaded Gate Caster, 125 Pound Capacity, Fence Hardware

These are great additions to my gate. 12’ steel gates from tractor supply meet in the middle for a 24’ wide drive. I couldn’t put a support in the middle to keep them from bowing in so I was stacking wood blocks under the gate. That got tiering real quick chasing blocks around every time. Now I have these and they support themselves, roll open, and the casters provide enough force to keep them from swinging around in the wind when I want to leave the gate open. My only suggesion is to preload the springs by drill and installing these with the spring pushed down almost all the way, maybe an inch or so left of travel, if not the spring is too weak.

Advertised wrong. This is advertised as a 65lb spring (125lb max load but that doesn't matter for setting it up). The spring is barely preloaded (only a couple of pounds) and full compression load is only about 25lbs. when the spring is almost a solid stack. The spring rate, stacked load, or what really matters the mid stroke load are nowhere near 65 lbs. This will only work as it is supposed to with about a 15lb load.You I was able to make it work for me by creating a shim to place under the spring and increase the preload to what I needed.

The description says that it supports a 125 lbs gate, but the spring that is on it doesn't support more than about 15-20 lbs. I should have just bought a normal caster and been done with it. My gate is only about 6-lbs, and the spring is completely collapsed with its weight.

This worked great on my fence! I suggest you put a 2x2 concrete block in the ground so it rolls better and doesnt make indents in your grass, cause after a while it will just start to sag again in the track it makes

The brace that holds the wheel to the gate is the same size as the wheel. When open the gate everything is fine. When you close it, the wheel flips and gets hung against the door.

The only thing I have bought for my fence so far that did not include Nuts and Bolts... but seems like it will serve its purpose

Easy to find, order and use. Mainly a shout out to Amazon for providing easy access to vendors that provide replacement of obscure service parts at a reasonable cost. It used to be quite an endeavor to find the right vendor and parts and price and quality comparison wasn't really an option.

The wheel is the same size as the square so you need to offset it or the wheel hits the door when it spins.
