About This Caster - 170AN06228SFBC
Set this 6-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBC face brake on a heavier cart corner that has to steer in tight space, then park and hold.
A face brake presses a shoe against the wheel to stop it, holding a heavy loaded cart on its spot. The FBC brake is the alternate face-brake style to the FBB version, and at a tighter swivel radius this caster suits a heavier cart that maneuvers in close quarters. At 6 inches the larger wheel rolls over seams while steering, and the orange round-profile polyurethane tread is non-marking and easy-rolling on a lightweight aluminum core. The kingpinless design carries shock without a central kingpin to fail. It steers on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 7-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -40 to 180°F.
Ideal applications
- 6-inch Empire 170 FBC-braked swivel for tight-quarters parking
- FBC face brake stopping the 6-inch non-marking orange wheel
- Tight-radius kingpinless swivel rolling over seams then locking
For the wider-radius face brake instead, the 170AN06228SFBB uses the FBB style.
Pairs with: plain Empire 170 swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.
Wrong fit? Need the FBB brake or a swivel lock? See the FBB-brake 170AN06228SFBB and the swivel-lock 170AN06228SL.
Also in this family: the 5-inch FBC-brake 170AN05228SFBC, or the full Albion collection.

Excellent service! Outstanding quality castors.
Great customer service and casters!
Great service, friendly staff and quality product.
Excellent all inclusive selection. Was able to use their product search to easily and accurately purchase two pieces of Seperate but related pieces of hardware. Product shipped and tracked per UPS and arrived in a timely manner while packaged and in good condition. Product quality is excellent especially given price was a very reasonable.
Purchased Blickle casters from W.T. Hight Company. Rated 5/5.
Long story short, we purchased an under-counter freezer that was too tall and needed the casters taken off. However, I had no idea how to do that so a quick Google led me to W.T. Hight and the customer representative, Lemuga, was super patient and walked me through the process! Although we didn't purchase anything this time, their customer service was wonderful and we will be keeping this company on our radar for all things casters!
I had an amazing experience with W.T. Hight Company! I purchased casters for my equipment, and the quality was outstanding — sturdy, reliable, and exactly what I needed. The customer service was top-notch; they were incredibly patient and walked me through the entire process to ensure I got the right fit. Highly recommended.
