This is one of those carriages, built around a robust steel base plate with four fixing slots and a pivoting body that carries eight steel wheels in matched pairs. It is sized for the medium cantilever track and matches our medium end stop and support wheel. Use it when the light 500kg carriage is not enough and a full heavy carriage is more than you need. The 600kg figure is the maximum published for this carriage. The price shown is for one carriage. A gate of this type needs two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/cantilever-gate-carriage-8-wheels-medium-600kg-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the medium cantilever gate carriage with published length, height and base plate dimensions\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this carriage works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEight wheels spread the load.\u003c\/strong\u003e A cantilever gate puts a lot of leverage on its carriages, especially near full travel.
