Gate and fence wheels

Strong support for every gate: gate and fence wheels

A heavy gate or one that opens and closes with difficulty? A quality gate or fence wheel solves that problem easily. These wheels prevent the gate from sagging, ensure smooth movement and reduce wear on the construction. At Logihub, you will find durable gate and fence wheels suitable for all types of fencing – including sliding gates, swing gates and garden gates. The right wheel provides stability and ease of use, even on uneven surfaces.

When should you use a gate or fence wheel?

A gate or fence wheel is ideal when a gate becomes heavier and needs support. Especially with wider gates or constructions with only one hinge point, strain on the hinges can become an issue. A wheel absorbs this weight, prevents sagging and extends the lifespan of the structure. Even on uneven or sinking ground, a wheel offers stable support during opening and closing.

You might use a gate wheel:

• for wide garden gates that would sag without extra support;
• for heavy wooden or metal fences;
• when the ground is not completely level;
• to make opening and closing the gate easier.

What types of gate and fence wheels are there?

There are generally two types of gate and fence wheels: fixed fence wheels and spring-loaded gate wheels. Both assist in opening and closing the gate, but function differently in terms of application.

Fixed fence wheels roll directly along the ground and provide constant support. They are best suited for flat, hard surfaces where the gate line remains consistent.

Spring-loaded gate wheels have a built-in spring system. These are designed to absorb height differences, making them ideal for uneven or slightly sunken surfaces.

At Logihub, you’ll find for example:

• a fixed fence wheel with a 100 mm diameter and 80 kg load capacity
• a spring-loaded gate wheel with a 100 mm diameter and 70 kg load capacity

Both wheels are easy to install and suitable for use with garden gates, swing gates or sliding gates.

How to choose the right wheel for your gate or fence?

When selecting a gate or fence wheel, it’s important to consider a few practical factors. This ensures the wheel fits your situation and performs reliably over time.

Load and weight capacity

Always take into account the total weight of the gate. The wheel should support this weight (partially or fully) without becoming overloaded. It’s smart to allow some safety margin, especially for gates used frequently.

Ground surface (paved, gravel, grass)

A flat, hard surface works well with a fixed fence wheel. For uneven or slightly sunken ground, a spring-loaded wheel is the better choice. It handles surface variation and prevents jamming during operation.

Mounting type

Pay attention to how the wheel is mounted: with a bracket, mounting plate or other system. Make sure it matches your gate structure.

Wheel diameter and material

Larger wheels move more easily across uneven terrain. Material also matters: rubber wheels reduce vibration and noise, while plastic wheels are wear-resistant and suited for smooth surfaces.
