ALEKO Side Roller for Sliding Rolling Gate (6 Inch, Black)

A

Package arrived on time and as described. We used them to fabricate a sliding chainlink fence gate support, as the gate was long and tended to run off path. It corrected the issue and is rugged enough to handle our extreme environment.

Great, inexpensive gate roller! This can be used on so many other projects too! The black powder coat finish is well done. The roller is very solid, and the bolt and nylon lock washer are zinc coated to help prevent rust!I do recommend this roller by ALEKO!CPS

Got 3 of these for my self-built sliding wooden gate that rolls on v-track. They work perfectly. Solid construction. The steel is about 1/4" thick; the bolt is solid (3/8" ? but didn't measure).However, reserving one star as there are no pre-drilled holes for bolts or screws. If that's your intended attachment method then be prepared to drill holes. Steel is soft so it's easy with good bits. I used split-point bits and was done in a minute. Suppose they could be side-attached. Pipe strap under the wheel could work but the clearance with the frame is tight.

Good quality guide roller. I’m sure it could be used for many applications. I used them on a boat trailer they should last many years 3/16 thick steel bracket hard rubber type rollers

The roller is made of solid nylon. This is plenty good enough for a low speed, low pressure bearing needed for its intended function; i.e. for a gate. The bracket is almost 3/16" thick; plenty rigid enough to handle any forseen abuse of the gate, other than a motor vehicle crashing into it.The two problems with this item have already been described by a previous reviewer :1. No mounting holes. Unless you have a drill press, it's a bear putting holes through such a thick piece of steel that can accommodate a large enough fastener. And remember, you need two rollers, which means a total of 4 holes to make.2. Gap between roller and bracket is only about 3/32". So you cannot fasten the bracket with hexhead screws, because their heads are too tall. Thus, the additional insult of having to countersink the holes you've drilled in order to utilize flimsy flathead or ovalhead screws that almost certainly will have to be installed with a mere screwdriver. And then can you get those screws tight enough?

I used this as a side roller to stabilize my gates , worked perfect.

Used just one of these awesome rollers to guide a 350 pound wooden gate to a track connected it easily to an old basketball poll. It has rolled smooth now for 1 year all weather. Great roller!
