3.5 Inch V-Groove Wheel Sidco Supply Sliding Gate Heavy Duty Steel

Description

Product Overview

The 3.5 inch V‑groove wheel from Sidco Supply is engineered for demanding gate and roller applications. Constructed from solid steel and finished with a zinc‑plated coating, the wheel offers superior corrosion resistance and long‑term durability in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its inverted V‑groove profile provides a secure, low‑friction interface with the gate track, ensuring consistent, controlled movement even under heavy loads. With a 1500 lb (680 kg) load capacity, a ½‑inch (12.7 mm) bore diameter, and a 1‑7/8 inch (47.4 mm) hub length, the wheel fits standard 3‑inch and 4‑inch gate boxes, making it a versatile component for a wide range of sliding gate systems, chain‑link fence gate rollers, roller casters, cable pulleys, and driveway gate assemblies. The sealed straight‑roller ball bearing reduces maintenance needs and protects against dust and moisture, delivering smooth operation over the wheel’s full service life.

Usage

Designed for both commercial and residential settings, this V‑groove wheel excels in high‑traffic gate installations such as industrial facility entrances, gated communities, parking structures, and private driveways. Its heavy‑duty construction allows it to handle frequent opening and closing cycles without premature wear, while the zinc‑plated finish resists rust in humid or coastal climates. The wheel’s compact dimensions (3.5 × 1.25 × 3.5 inches) and lightweight design (2.76 lb) enable easy retrofitting onto existing gate frames, and the detachable bolt with locking nut simplifies replacement or adjustment. Whether used on a chain‑link fence gate, a sliding security gate, or a custom‑fabricated roller system, the wheel provides reliable performance, reducing the need for costly repairs and downtime.
