8" Top Plate Swivel Caster with AN- Round Polyurethane Wheel (Aluminum Core) and Face Brake (FBC) - 170AN08228S01FBC

About This Caster - 170AN08228S01FBC

Set this 8-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBC face brake on the heaviest 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 the heaviest 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 heavy cart that maneuvers in close quarters. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles 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 9-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -40 to 180°F.

Ideal applications

• 8-inch Empire 170 orange FBC-braked swivel for tight-quarters parking
• FBC face brake stopping the 8-inch non-marking orange wheel
• Tight-radius kingpinless swivel clearing big obstacles then locking

For the wider-radius face brake instead, the 170AN08228S01FBB uses the FBB style.

Pairs with: plain Empire 170 swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.
