An M16 threaded axle bolt, with its nuts, comes with the wheel, so you fix it by bolting through the side of a channel or bracket under your gate's bottom rail. It is a plain hub wheel: the bearing is not described as double. No load rating is published for it, so match it to a gate of known weight or call us before you order. The price shown is for one wheel, with a minimum order of 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/sliding-gate-wheel-140mm-20mm-round-groove-m16-axle-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the 140mm sliding gate wheel with a 20mm round groove, showing the published 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 wheel works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA large wheel that still has a slim rim.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 138mm measured it rolls over grit and small debris more easily than the smaller sizes.

Its closest neighbour is the 140mm double bearing wheel: the same 138mm diameter and M16 axle, but with a 30mm rim and two bearings, and about 0.6kg heavier. Choose that one if your rail has room and you want the double bearing. Stepping down, the 120mm double bearing wheel gives up 20mm of diameter and keeps an M16 axle. This wheel has no double bearing described for it, so buy it for its size and rim width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHow it differs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140mm round groove, M16 axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThis wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/premium-slider-wheel-120mm\"\u003e120mm round groove wheel, bolt-through axle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound bar track, no double bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/premium-120mm-slider-wheel\"\u003e120mm round groove wheel in a box section housing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing with end tabs for a box section rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLay the track first, straight and level. Most sliding gates run on two wheels, set about a fifth of the gate length in from each end. Fix a channel or a bracket under your bottom rail and bolt the wheel through it, so the M16 axle bolt is supported on both sides of the wheel where you can. The axle bolt is M16 and 84mm long over the bolt, so check the width of your channel or bracket before you drill a 16mm clearance hole. Check the gate runs its full travel without binding before you tighten up fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep grit and leaves off the track, because that is what wears a wheel. Check the axle nuts and that the wheel runs freely at each service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the price for one wheel?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the price is for one wheel, and the minimum order is 5.
