Double wheel - Gate kit (Pressed Steel)

Core Function and Placement

• Weight Support: The double wheel carrier is mounted under the front vertical member of the gate to bear the gate's load, preventing it from dragging or sagging.
• Stability: The dual-wheel design (often called a "rut runner") provides a wide base that keeps the gate balanced and aligned with the latch post as it moves.
• Surface Compatibility: Solid rubber wheels in these kits perform best on hard, smooth surfaces like concrete or asphalt.

Typical Kit Components

While specific contents vary by grade, a standard rolling gate hardware kit generally includes:

• Double Wheel Carrier : A galvanized pressed steel frame with an axle (typically 10" to 12" long) holding two wheels.
• Rear Track Wheels : Usually 5" or 6" pressed steel wheels that allow the back of the gate to roll along a pipe track.
• Universal Track Brackets : Used to mount the 1-5/8" pipe track to the fence line posts.
• Rear Wheel Brackets : Connect the rear wheels to the vertical back frame of the gate.
• Rolling Gate Latch : Often a "Rollo" or offset latch designed to secure the sliding frame to the latch post.
