Thanks for the tip from cork city

Love the nylon wheels for this application,..

In province of quebec in canada we have to install snow shelter over sliding gate so they dont get stuck in 3 feet of snow and ice. We also use a square rail close to the top og gate and rollers are inside of it so they never freeze.

OH my god very genius idea i like this

How do you stop cast ones from freezing in the winter? Also what happens when you get over 3" of snow? Shovel immediately? (MN question) I want to put some kind of wire gate for my back driveway. (so hoping for a opener for my car) Is there a significance in sliding or double opening? If you do sometimes use double gate opening, what's the limit to each gate length before you have to put rollers under each gate?

What is the tension supposed to be like on those rollers. I'm having an issue with my fence where If I tighten them they obviously don't roll smoothly but if I back it off some it wants to pop off the track. Any troubleshooting ideas?

Where do we buy the nylon rollers?

What kind of grease would you recommend for those cast rollers? I live in the high desert in AZ with an electric gate across the driveway that has two cast rollers with the grease zerk. Thank you!

I'm fince working

So if i have a motor for the gate nylon rollers are no good? My rollers will be about a foot off the ground if that makes a difference. Or do they still freeze.

Where in mi are you located ? What’s a 6ft tall 18ft wide opening , size gate cost ? Kalamazoo area ..

Yes I have them at selfridge airforce base. I had them on a powdered coated pipe. I just swapped them out they where 10 years old. Sealed bearings. Love them. I have 15 different electric gates to the runway and taxi way. Hate clearing these out every time it snows I clear out the snow under the wheels and salt the crap out of them. I really dont like the Zip tracks. Osco operators And liftmaster Looks like a bad wheel casting.
