U-Grooved wheels are designed to roll along round tubing, pipe, or similar track systems. The recessed groove helps keep the wheel centered on the track, making it a good option for straight runs, curved tracks, and applications where controlled movement is needed.

These wheels are commonly used on rolling gates, sliding doors, pulleys, material handling equipment, food service equipment, washdown carts, and other track-based systems. They are especially useful in areas where equipment needs to move smoothly along a fixed path rather than rolling freely across the floor.

All U-Groove wheels are custom quoted based on the requirements of your application. Wheel diameter, tread width, groove size, material, bearing type, and load capacity can all affect the final recommendation. Because these wheels are application-specific, we review each request to help match the wheel to the tubing or pipe track it will ride on.

Common washdown applications include food processing plants, commercial kitchens, beverage facilities, dairies, car washes, agricultural wash areas, and other environments where wheels may be exposed to water, cleaning solutions, or sanitation chemicals.

For a quote, send us the details of your application, including the pipe or tubing size, expected load, wheel diameter if known, and the environment where the wheel will be used. We’ll review the information and help determine the best U-Groove wheel option for your needs.
