4" Top Plate Swivel Caster with AX- Round Polyurethane Wheel (Aluminum Core) and Face Brake (FBC) - 170AX04228SFBC

About This Caster - 170AX04228SFBC

Set this 4-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBC face brake on an economical 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 loaded cart on its spot. The FBC brake is the alternate face-brake style to the FBB version, and at a tighter swivel radius it suits a cart that maneuvers in close quarters. The AX build brings kingpinless durability and up to 700 pounds of capacity at this size, and the maroon round-profile polyurethane tread is non-marking and easy-rolling on a lightweight aluminum core. It steers on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 5-5/8-inch mount height, and holds from -40 to 180°F.

Ideal applications

• 4-inch economical Empire 170 maroon FBC-braked swivel up to 700 lb
• FBC face brake stopping the 4-inch maroon non-marking wheel
• Tight-radius kingpinless value swivel that locks under load

For the wider-radius face brake instead, the 170AX04228SFBB uses the FBB style.

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