About This Caster - 170AX08228S01FBB
Set this 8-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBB face brake on the heaviest economical cart corner that maneuvers, then parks and holds.
A face brake presses a shoe against the wheel to stop it, holding the heaviest loaded cart on its spot. The AX build carries up to 1,500 pounds at this size, and at 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles while steering. The maroon round-profile polyurethane tread is non-marking and easy-rolling on a lightweight aluminum core, and 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 economical Empire 170 maroon braked swivel up to 1,500 lb
- FBB face brake stopping the 8-inch maroon non-marking wheel
- Kingpinless value swivel clearing the biggest obstacles then locking
For a total lock, the 170AX08228S01FBBL adds a swivel lock; for no brake, the plain swivel drops it.
Pairs with: plain Empire 170 swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.
Wrong fit? Need a total lock or the FBC brake? See the total-lock 170AX08228S01FBBL and the FBC-brake 170AX08228S01FBC.

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.
