Questions

1–10 of 29 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. Can the swivel feature be disabled?

    The wheel is perfect for my application with the exception of the swivel. Is there a way to fix the wheel in one position and have it remain there (NO swivel)?

    1. You could drill through the top and bottom ball bearing plates and use a pin or bolt to secure them. You could also weld the plates together. However, it would be easier and cheaper to use a fixed wheel also available from Northern.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, two different ways to easily fix the wheel:
      1) Place a 2 1/2 SS clamp around the flat swivel plates.
      or
      2) Drill a 1/8 hole through the flat bearing plates and install a small metal screw

      Helpful?

    3. This gate wheel is designed to swivel and does not have a rigid mode capability.

      Helpful?

  2. Does the wheel fork swivel independently (bearings) from the vertical rod assembly ?

    1. Yes.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, the fork swivels independently, but note that the vertical rod can spin in the gatewheel frame as well.

      Helpful?

    3. The fork will swivel separate from the vertical rod. It does not have bearings but has a grease fitting on wheel and swivel.

      Helpful?

  3. Will this wheel attach to a square tube entry gate

    The gate is a 10' metal entry gate made of square tubing with each tube being 8" in diameter. Will this wheel attach to this type of gate?

    1. You would have to bolt it directly to the tubing rather than using the clamps that it come with.

      Helpful?

    2. Not using the mounting hardware provided - you would have to drill or weld it.

      Helpful?

    3. The u-bolts included with this Gate Wheel will work on a frame with maximum diameter of 2-1/8 inches. This would not work on an 8 inch diameter frame.

      Helpful?

  4. Rotation around vertical shaft

    Since the wheel can't rotate 360 degrees on the vertical shaft without hitting the gate, is there a problem when reversing the direction of travel with it swinging towards the gate and jamming, instead of swinging the other way?

    1. I had that concern while installing mine, but it rotates with no problem after I got it attached.

      Helpful?

    2. No, the wheel only needs to travel 90 degrees in either direction.

      Helpful?

  5. Are there any tricks to prevent the wheel from swiveling around and thus preventing smooth movement of the gate??

    1. I had the same issue when I put the wheel assembly on the inside of my gate. I eventually moved it to the opening side of the gate and removed some rocks and bricks that the tire would hit as it swiveled to open and then swiveled to close. It works great now. I wish the directions had been more specific where assembly should go.

      Helpful?

    2. This gate wheel does not have a locking mechanism to prevent it from swiveling. This is designed to provide a range of motion so that it can be used on uneven terrain and maneuver easily.

      Helpful?

  6. Will the wheel rotate 360 degrees around the vertical shaft without contacting the gate?

    1. No

      Helpful?

    2. This gate wheel is not capable of rotating 360 degrees around the vertical shaft without contacting the gate.

      Helpful?

  7. Can this wheel be mounted on the front of the gate rather than the side?

    1. yes. you just need to ensure of wheel clearance as these swivel and are off set to roll easy.

      Helpful?

    2. This gate wheel could be mounted on the front of the gate.

      Helpful?

  8. i have a double driveway gate made from two gates with metal frames. They open in toward driveway. Are these wheels appropriate ?

    I could not tell if there is an option for where they are installed on the gate

    1. they work for me

      Helpful?

    2. This gate wheel would be mounted on the frame of the gate. With the swivel wheel it can be used in any direction.

      Helpful?

  9. spring Capacity

    can you tell me the spring capacity please? I am talking in Lbs. I understand that the tire has a 210lb capacity but what weight will the spring hold up before it bottoms out.

    1. My gate is roughly 180 pounds and the wheel does a great job.

      Helpful?

    2. The spring capacity is rated at 210lbs. The spring is capable of compressing down 3 inches before it bottoms out.

      Helpful?

  10. Will this wheel work on a square tube metal entry gate?

    Tubes are approx. 2" wide

    1. Yes. I did not use the clamps that are included for my square posts. I used bolts instead.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, the Gate Wheel with Suspension will work on a square tube gate up to 2-1/4 inches in diameter.

      Helpful?
