Rotatable Wheels
The rotatable wheels are special wheels that are used for the folding sliding gates. Two pieces of rotatable wheels has to be installed on the bottom of each panel of the folding sliding gate.
Rotatable Wheels for Folding Sliding Gates
The rotatable wheels with V-groove shape are specialized hardware components designed to provide smooth and stable movement for folding sliding gates. Unlike traditional wheels, their unique V-shaped groove is engineered to sit securely on a corresponding V-shaped track, which is typically made of angle iron or other steel sections. This design ensures that the gate stays perfectly aligned with its track, preventing wobbling or derailing during operation.
Key Features:
Rotatable Wheels Design:
The “rotatable” or “swivel” feature allows the wheels to pivot, which is essential for folding or bi-folding gate systems. This enables the gate panels to change direction smoothly as they fold, making the entire opening and closing process effortless.
V-Groove Rotatable Wheels Profile:
The V-groove shape is designed for optimal stability on a V-track. This reduces friction, ensuring the gate glides with minimal effort, even on heavy-duty or industrial gates.
Rotatable Wheels Durability and Load Capacity:
These wheels are typically made from robust materials such as solid steel, cast iron, or high-impact polymers. They are equipped with sealed ball bearings, providing long-lasting, maintenance-free performance. Depending on the material and size, a single wheel can support a significant amount of weight, ranging from hundreds to several thousand pounds, making them suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Easy Installation:
The rotatable wheels are installed on the bottom of each panel of the folding sliding gate. For larger or heavier gates, two rotatable wheels per panel are recommended to ensure proper weight distribution and stability. The installation process typically involves mounting the wheels to the gate’s frame using bolts or welding.
