The Keypak 200mm Spring-Loaded Gate Wheel is designed for homeowners and farmers who need to support heavy gates and prevent long-term hinge damage. Its primary benefit is the combination of a flat-free foam tire and a spring-loaded suspension, which allows the gate to glide easily over uneven surfaces like gravel or grass without sagging. Please note that while it provides significant structural relief for hinges, the gate must still be properly aligned for the wheel to function at its peak performance.

No, it features a flat-free foam rubber tire that never requires inflation.
Yes, the product includes U-bolts specifically designed to fit the rails of tubular farm gates.
The wheel is rated for a maximum load capacity of 100kg.
The spring-loaded mechanism provides 64mm of travel to accommodate uneven ground.
Yes, it is supplied with a mounting plate, U-bolts, washers, and nuts.
Check that all mounting bolts and U-bolts are fully tightened and the plate is flush against the gate frame.
Adjust the mounting position of the bracket to ensure the spring travel is centered when the gate is in its most common ground-contact position.
Clean the swivel mechanism to remove dirt or debris and ensure the weight of the gate is not exceeding the 100kg load rating.
Installation is straightforward due to the universal seven-hole mounting plate. For timber gates, align the plate vertically and bolt it directly into the frame. For tubular farm gates, use the included U-bolts to secure the bracket to either the vertical or horizontal rail. Ensure the wheel is positioned so that it makes full contact with the ground when the gate is closed. To maintain the unit, occasionally inspect the spring for debris and ensure the swivel bearing remains free of obstructions. The foam tire requires no inflation, meaning you only need to check that the mounting bolts remain tight after the first few weeks of heavy use.
