{"product_id":"trolley-gate-track-connecting-joint","title":"Trolley Gate Track Connecting Joint, Bolt-On, Zinc Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA simple bolt-up joint for connecting two lengths of trolley gate track.\u003c\/strong\u003e When a sliding gate or barn style door run is longer than one length of track, this bracket clamps round the top of the two track ends and holds them in line, so the wheels pass across the join without catching. It is a zinc finished steel C-section with a set of bolts through the top and side, so you do not need to weld, and the track can be taken apart later. It suits the same trolley track that our hangers and wheel carriages are made for. Runs of track often need more than one join, so the price shown is per joint 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\/trolley-gate-track-connecting-joint-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the zinc finished trolley gate track joint with 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 joint works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeeps the two lengths in line.\u003c\/strong\u003e A misaligned join is where a trolley wheel jumps or catches.
