Product Details
About This Caster - 170CA08201R01
Set this 8-inch Empire 170 cast iron rigid on a fixed corner of the heaviest foundry or oven cart that crosses the worst hot floors on a long run.
At 8 inches, the largest in this cast iron line, the wheel clears the biggest obstacles and pulls with the least effort, and the cast iron wheel holds from -100 to 800°F where rubber and poly cannot go. The trade is that an iron wheel is hard, noisy, and damages a soft floor, so it belongs on bare concrete or steel. It is built kingpinless with no central kingpin to fail. As a rigid caster it tracks straight on the fixed corners, runs on a roller bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 9-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -100 to 800°F.
Ideal applications
- 8-inch cast iron rigid for the heaviest foundry or oven hauls
- Extreme -100 to 800°F iron wheel clearing the biggest obstacles
- Roller-bearing kingpinless rigid at a 9-1/2 mount height on concrete
For a steering corner instead of a fixed one, the 170CA08201S01 swivels.
Pairs with: the 8-inch cast iron swivel 170CA08201S01 on the steering corners and this rigid on the fixed corners.
Wrong fit? Need a swivel or a brake? See the 8-inch cast iron swivel 170CA08201S01 and the braked 170CA08201S01FBB.
Also in this family: the 8-inch maroon PU rigid 170AX08228R01, or the full Albion collection.

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.
