This 160mm wheel fits to the tube by a U-bolt and a toothed saddle, so the end of the gate is carried on the wheel instead of the hinges. There is no welding and no drilling. The wheel is 160mm across with a 41mm wide black tyre, and it is held in a fixed fork, so it does not swivel. The published maximum weight limit is 400kg, and the price shown is for one wheel with its clamp. The minimum order is 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/swing-gate-wheel-160mm-u-bolt-tube-clamp-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the 160mm swing gate wheel with its U-bolt tube clamp, showing the overall length and clamp opening\" 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\u003eIt takes weight off the hinges.\u003c\/strong\u003e Supporting the free end of a long gate reduces the leverage on the hinge post, which is where most sagging gates start to go wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe clamp grips a round tube.\u003c\/strong\u003e A toothed saddle bites onto the tube and the U-bolt pulls it tight, so the wheel holds its position along the rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA big wheel for rough ground.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 160mm across, the wheel rides over small bumps in a yard or a gravel surface more easily than a small caster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTubular field gates, farm yard gates, paddock gates and estate gates that swing over reasonably even ground. It works best where the gate follows a clear arc and the surface is firm, because a fixed wheel follows one path and will scrub if the ground climbs across the swing.

A swivel caster turns to follow the gate.
