Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the advantage of a spring-loaded gate caster?
A: The spring mechanism acts as a shock absorber. It allows the wheel to adjust to minor imperfections in the ground (like cracks or slopes), ensuring the wheel stays engaged and the gate operates smoothly without catching or dragging.
Q: Can these casters be used on uneven or gravel driveways?
A: Yes, the spring-loaded design is specifically beneficial for slightly uneven surfaces. However, for very rough or loose gravel, the solid rubber wheel may still struggle. A semi-pneumatic wheel might be suggested for extremely rough terrain.
Q: How do I choose between the 6-inch and 8-inch wheel sizes?
A: The 8-inch wheel is generally recommended for heavier gates and rougher terrain as it will roll over obstacles more easily. The 6-inch wheel is a great choice for standard driveway gates on relatively smooth surfaces. Both support the same 700 lbs capacity.
Q: Is the galvanized finish rust-proof?
A: The dual-coated galvanized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it highly resilient to rust and weathering. It is not 100% “rust-proof” in an industrial chemical sense, but it is built to last for years in standard outdoor conditions without deteriorating.
Q: Do you provide hardware for installation?
A: Typically, the necessary mounting bolts and hardware are included with the caster kit for straightforward installation.
