U-groove wheels, also known as pipe wheels, are similar to v-groove wheels in appearance but have a more rounded shape. On the outside diameter of these wheels is a “U”-shaped groove. They have a secure attachment and are available in a variety of materials, such as cast iron u-groove wheels or long-lasting lustrous zinc finish u-groove wheels, with each material offering distinct advantages. These wheels are finely machined from high-quality cold-rolled steel with long-life sealed bearings and can carry up to 6,000 pounds.

U-groove wheels are also often used as rollers on doors and gates. These wheels come in a variety of sizes and can be used in almost any commercial or industrial application, particularly those involving round iron bars or pipe rails.
