About This Caster - 170AN08228S01L
Set this 8-inch Empire 170 swivel with a swivel lock on the heaviest tow-line or platform truck that needs to switch between maneuvering and straight-line travel.
A swivel lock holds the swivel from rotating so the caster tracks dead straight when engaged, then releases to swivel and steer again. It does not stop the wheel from rolling, it stops the swivel from turning, which keeps a heavy towed cart from wandering down a line. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles, 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 runs on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate, and holds from -40 to 180°F.
Ideal applications
- 8-inch Empire 170 orange swivel-lock caster for tow-line straight travel
- Swivel lock holding the 8-inch caster straight on demand
- Kingpinless aluminum-core swivel clearing big obstacles, then directional
For a wheel brake instead of a swivel lock, the 170AN08228S01FBB stops the wheel.
Pairs with: plain Empire 170 swivels on the free corners and these swivel-lock casters on the corners you want to hold a line.
Wrong fit? Need a wheel brake or a total lock? See the face-brake 170AN08228S01FBB and the total-lock 170AN08228S01FBBL.

What our customers say
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.
