Large diameter gate wheel needed.... Pointers?

[steveR]

I have been trying to find a 6"+ diameter Gate Wheel/castre to go on a couple of track entrance gates where the surface is far from smooth. No joy on googling as yet....

Plenty of 4" about, but experience show that they are not adequate.

Any pointers please?

These might do the job

Any idea what these are?

Having a clear out, I'm certain these must be of desperate importance, but I can't think for the life of me what they're for. Anybody know before they're disposed of?

I used some wheels off an old Bell cement mixer on a couple of gates and they work really well .

This is a quad wheel, the bar on the bottom is one or two springs similar to that used on cattle trailer doors, I can get photos of it some time if you want

could you use a barrow wheel or would that be too big?

Very impressive, but it's only a 12ft gate Or actually, a 12ft and 10ft.

Sadly, too tall, unless I cantilevered out the support frame from the gates, which is what i am thinking I will need to do.

If you can't find what you want, it's usually because you're using the wrong search terms. Try Googling "castor wheels" and try searching Images.

Why do you need wheels when the gate is only 12ft wide

Why do you need wheels for gates that narrow?

People climbing over it....

Put blocks under each end so when they climb it, the blocks take the weight not the hinges or catch.

Or wrap barbed wire around top rail, that'll stop them climbing over
