Designed for gates, the wheel can easily accommodate the heaviest gates. I will say they add a SCREWDRIVER to use with the install and it's best not to include it. A simple Phillips screwdriver? Well, you know you're paying for that too. You could leave it and lower the price just a little bit. Whoever installs this $$$ wheel already has a screwdriver. The rotation of the wheel is smooth, as are the shock-absorbing properties. Big. Super heavy and well made. Worth the price.
