Product Details
About This Caster - 170CA06201SL
Set this 6-inch Empire 170 cast iron swivel with a swivel lock on a heavier foundry or oven tow-line 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 again. It stops the swivel from turning, not the wheel from rolling, which keeps a heavy towed cart from wandering down a line. At 6 inches the larger wheel rolls over seams, and the cast iron wheel holds from -100 to 800°F where rubber and poly cannot go, with the trade that it is hard, noisy, and damages a soft floor. It is built kingpinless with no central kingpin to fail, runs on a roller bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 7-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -100 to 800°F.
Ideal applications
- 6-inch cast iron swivel-lock caster for foundry tow-line straight travel
- Swivel lock holding a 6-inch iron wheel straight at extreme temperature
- Kingpinless metal swivel rolling over seams, then directional
For a wheel brake and swivel lock together, the 170CA06201SFBBL is the total-lock version.
Pairs with: plain Empire 170 cast iron swivels on the free corners and these swivel-lock casters on the corners you want to hold a line.

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.
