{"product_id":"spring-loaded-gate-jockey-wheel-heavy-160kg","title":"Spring Loaded Gate Jockey Wheel, Heavy, 90mm Wheel, 160kg Load Bearing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA sprung wheel that carries the free end of a swing gate.\u003c\/strong\u003e A gate is held only at its hinge side, so the free end wants to drop, and over time a heavy leaf pulls its post and hinges out of line. A jockey wheel takes that end of the gate onto the ground. The spring inside the bracket lets the wheel rise and fall over small changes in the surface, so it stays in contact without jamming. This heavy model is published as load bearing 160kg. It has a 90mm blue wheel in a welded fork and a 50mm wide bracket with two fixing holes at 87mm centres. The price shown is for one jockey wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/spring-loaded-gate-jockey-wheel-heavy-160kg-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the heavy spring loaded gate jockey wheel, showing the bracket, spring and fixing hole centres\" 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 a sprung jockey wheel works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt keeps weight off the hinges.\u003c\/strong\u003e The wheel shares the load of the free end of the gate, which is exactly where the leverage on the hinges is highest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA thick spring for a heavier gate.\u003c\/strong\u003e The widely spaced open coil and the 25mm bar are built for a gate that presses harder on the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBolts to the gate upright.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bracket fixes to the end of the leaf with two bolts, so there is no need to modify the gate frame beyond two holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwing gates at contractors' compounds, farm yards, commercial yards and estates, where a gate is long enough or heavy enough to sag.
