The U Profile Wheel (also known as U-Groove or U-Shaped Sliding Gate Wheel) is a heavy-duty roller designed specifically for sliding gates that run on round pipe, bar, or U-profile ground tracks. The U-shaped groove fits securely over round rails (typically 20mm-25mm diameter), providing smooth, stable rolling and preventing derailment. Commonly made from galvanized steel with sealed bearings, it’s ideal for manual or automated gates in residential, commercial, and industrial settings in Nigeria.

Key Features:

• U-shaped groove for round track compatibility (unlike V-groove for angle iron).
• Double sealed ball bearings for smooth, quiet operation and low maintenance.
• Galvanized or powder-coated steel for rust resistance in outdoor conditions.
• High load capacity: 500-800kg per wheel (supports gates up to 1500-2000kg with pairs).
• External or recess mounting brackets with adjustable height options.
• Anti-scuff guides often included to protect against misalignment.

Common Applications:

• Sliding driveway gates, factory doors, estate entrances.
• Replacement for worn wheels on existing round track systems.
• Compatible with gate motors like Centurion D5/D10.
