Replacing an old castor? Measure between the centres of two fixing holes along the long edge, then across the short edge, and compare with the hole centres above. Allow the swivel radius as clear space around each castor so it can turn freely.
Load check
How we work it out: on a real floor one castor is often carrying little or nothing, so we share the weight across one fewer castor than you fit (with 3 castors, across all 3). Tick the box to add a 30% margin for rough use.
Floors & use
Rubber tread
- Cushions the load and soaks up vibration
- Quiet on most surfaces
- Copes with uneven floors, thresholds and outdoor use
- Good grip on smooth floors
- Takes more effort to push than nylon under heavy loads
- Oils and solvents shorten tyre life
Details & FAQs
Heavy Duty Gate Castor
This 100mm heavy duty fixed gate castor supports the free end of a swinging gate so it rolls open and shut instead of sagging and dragging on the ground. It has a black rubber on cast iron wheel rated at 70kg and a 165mm x 41mm mounting bracket that bolts straight onto the gate post or frame.
The fixed wheel runs in one straight line, which keeps the gate on its natural swing path. A spring-loaded stem lets the wheel follow small bumps and dips in a drive or yard while the gate stays level, and the zinc plated steel parts suit outdoor use. It is a popular gate wheel for farm gates, driveway gates, industrial doors and security barriers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a gate castor do?
It carries the weight of the open end of a gate on a wheel, so the gate does not sag, drag or strain its hinges.
How is it fitted?
The 165mm x 41mm bracket has 2 holes of 8mm diameter at 85mm centres. Bolt it to the end post or frame of the gate so the wheel sits on the ground.
How tall is it?
The total castor height is 375mm. From the ground to the lower bolt hole of the plate is 242mm.
How much weight can it take?
The wheel is rated at 70kg.
Fixed or swivel gate wheel?
A fixed wheel follows the gate's natural swing arc and stays in line. A swivel wheel turns freely, which can help on gates that move in more than one direction.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. It is made for gates, doors and barriers outside, with a rubber tyre that grips paths and drives.
