Questions & Answers
The width of the wheels. Mounting bracket with a lot of heft to it. I've had a pair on my enclosed trailer for more than two years and they're still going strong.
Sorry, I answered yes, but there is only one answer; In my order, I request two rollers.
Probably 1/2 inch. The roller is, in fact, made of solid steel.
What exactly is it that you want? I'd like some additional information from you.br>

I went into an RV store, where the salesman was half-rude while looking it up in his catalog and quoting me a price that was significantly higher than this, and I'd have to return a week later to pick it up. I walked out and went to Amazon, where I discovered this, bought it, installed it, and continued to gloat about the business the rude guy had lost. Ha ha, sucka! br>As for the product, it's designed to be welded on, so that's what you should plan on doing. I didn't need the frame in my case because the previous one had gotten trashed over the years, so I only needed the guts. Everything fit perfectly, and I'm as happy as can be.
The bolt that comes with it requires a longer shoulder, which is one disadvantage. The wheel is currently running partially on the threads, and you can feel the difference. I swapped out the stock bolt for a grade 8 bolt with a shoulder that fully supports the wheel. The bolt was 1/2", which fit the wheel and bracket perfectly and snugly if you simply shaved 1/32" material from the holes with a 1/2" drill bit (which was very easy). Then it's PERFECT. (I welded it to the trailer's spare jack foot so I could switch it to the trailer jack once the trailer was on the hitch. ) In the event that I don't pull the trailer, I'll get another hitch. )br>It was designed to tow a 24' car trailer behind a 34' motorhome. It scraped whenever I pulled into or out of a parking lot, or when I backed up my own sloped driveway. The wheel now eliminates all friction, saving both my trailer foot and my driveway. Mindfulness.
Heavy, solid steel wheel with a sharp edged mounting bracket that is not tumbled to smooth the corners before shipping. Handling should be avoided at all costs, as I will sever my fingers. Abrasive tumbling could have taken care of it, but it would have cost the manufacturer more money. They should be ashamed of themselves for putting out something so obscene for only ten cents. br>Until you receive it, you won't know what it weighs. Another ten pounds should be added to your weight. If you use two, this will add to the complexity of your rig. br>I can use them, but before mounting them, I'm going to drill as many lightning holes as possible in the side of the wheels. br>As is, it could easily support a Sherman Tank weighing 96 tons.
I bought these to go with the RV bumper I built. They're tough and easy to put together (with the help of a welder). In the event of a tail drag, it could save you hundreds of dollars in bumper damage. For me, there was too much space between the roller and the bracket, so I added a few washers to fill in the gaps.
In the back of my RV, I just replaced the rockets. The product is exactly as described!.
When entering driveways in my Class A motorhome, I used this to keep the trailer hitch from dragging and digging into the asphalt.
So far, my 40-foot flatbed dovetail has performed admirably. I do hotshooting and carry at least 14 to 15 thousand ponds on my flatbed, and they've worked great so far underneath to keep it from scraping ass and allowing me to back up steep ramps to get loaded.
