You use your gate morning and evening, so shouldn’t it work properly? The wheeled gate requires little space. Easy to install by yourself, it proves to be very practical. If you already have one, your wheels might be worn out and impair its function, so why not change them? Otherwise, why not just install one to replace your old setup?
The wheels differ for myriad reasons: the size, the load capacity, the number of bearings, the mounting support, and the diameter. For the rest, it’s usually the same (material, finish...)
There are 2 shapes, V and round, with the V shape being the traditional format. Each shape corresponds to a rail profile that must be adhered to.
The load capacity: The diameters vary depending on the load they can bear. The larger it is, the greater the pulling capacity will be. This logic applies, albeit marginally, to wheels with multiple bearings as well; a wheel with 2 bearings can support about 20 Kg more. Thus, the wheels in our catalog can support loads from 150 to 500 Kg depending on the model.
Another positive aspect of a wheel with 2 bearings is the smoothness of the sliding doors and its longevity.
Screw fitting is relatively simple, the wheels attach to the door thickness with only a set of screws.
Embedding is a more complicated fixation because it requires making a hole to house the grooved wheel. However, embedding makes it possible to hide the wheel for a better aesthetic outcome.
Then comes the welding system. This system provides significantly more strength, but requires having the necessary welding equipment, which makes its installation more complex.
If no support is provided, you must fix the wheel to your existing system (if possible).
The article also has a bichromated finish. It increases its resistance against natural assaults
