Excellent gate support wheel. My gate now rises to the ideal locking position and I don't have to pull it up. Most gates sag over time and this wheel solves the problem once and for all. The mount is rated for very heavy loads and the included screws are long enough to go through a 4x4. The wheel (5 inch) spins easily on a roller bearing, but you must provide a solid surface for it to roll. In mud, it tends to dig in and stop sideways when changing direction. I solved this problem by placing an offset ceramic tile as a "track" for the tire to roll. Now my gates open and close gently as silk. This is a 250-pound caster because you can never have too much power. The spring only uses what it needs depending on how high you mount it off the ground or floor. I installed mine with a C-clamp to test the gate lift until I got it "just right", which for me is midway through the roll's raise/lower range. I then attached the 2 by 4 "support" to the gate with some 3" wood screws.
