A single wheel carrier made from pressed steel is commonly used in chain link fence systems, particularly for sliding gates. Here’s a breakdown of its use and function
- Sliding Gate Mechanism It acts as the rolling base for sliding gates, allowing the gate to move smoothly along a track. The pressed steel construction ensures strength and durability under load.
- Cantilever Gate Support In cantilever-style gates (which don’t touch the ground), the single wheel carrier helps support the gate's weight and guides its motion through rollers or tracks.
- Heavy-Duty Performance Pressed steel offers high tensile strength, making it suitable for industrial or commercial fencing where gates are large and frequently used.
- Corrosion Resistance Often galvanized, these carriers resist rust and environmental wear, ideal for outdoor use.
- Ease of Installation Designed for bolt-on or weld-on applications, they simplify gate assembly and maintenance.
