Castor Wheel Assembly
If you manage a busy project, you need fast and controlled construction site access. Altrad Generation's Castor Wheel Assembly is designed to turn standard Temporary Fencing Panels into swing access gates. It provides a simple and safe access point for vehicles, equipment, and authorised people. This helps improve controlled entry and exit when flexibility and accessibility are important.
Ideal for construction, events, and restricted access areas, our Castor Wheel Assembly is most effective when used on level surfaces like tarmac, concrete, or asphalt. The wheel allows the fence panel to move freely with minimal effort, making it suitable for both high traffic zones and short term setups.
The installation of the Castor Wheel Assembly is quick and straightforward. The wheel attaches to the base of a fencing panel using standard Fencing Couplers. The opposite leg is placed into a Fencing Foot to serve as a pivot point. For better stability, we recommend using two Couplers per assembly.
To complete your gate setup, combine it with our Gate Hinge for Temporary Fencing Panels, and explore other Panel Accessories like Fence Couplers, Fence Spanners, and Ballast Blocks for a safe and secure site perimeter.
How a Castor Wheel Assembly Matters Improves Your Site Perimeter
Standard temporary fencing panels create a secure boundary. When you convert a panel into a gate, you need stable support at ground level. A castor wheel assembly carries the load of the moving panel and keeps the gate aligned.
By installing a castor wheel assembly, you:
Enable controlled movement of gate panels
Reduce drag along the ground surface
Protect panel frames from bending under load
Improve efficiency at high traffic access points
Support safer construction site access
On sites with frequent deliveries, a wheeled gate reduces time spent lifting and repositioning panels. Over weeks and months, this lowers wear on both equipment and labour resources.
Designed for Practical Site Use
You attach the castor wheel assembly to the base of a designated gate panel within your temporary fencing panels layout. The wheel supports the panel weight as the gate opens and closes.
This setup helps you:
Create vehicle access points for plant and delivery trucks
Separate pedestrian and vehicle routes
Reposition gates as project phases change
