About This Caster - 170CA08201S01FBB
Set this 8-inch Empire 170 cast iron swivel with an FBB face brake on the heaviest foundry or oven 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. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles while steering, 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. The kingpinless design carries shock without a central kingpin to fail. It 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 braked cast iron swivel parking the heaviest foundry cart
- FBB face brake stopping an 8-inch iron wheel at extreme temperature
- Kingpinless metal swivel clearing the biggest obstacles then locking
For a total lock, the 170CA08201S01FBBL adds a swivel lock; for a tighter radius, see the FBC.
Pairs with: plain Empire 170 cast iron 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 170CA08201S01FBBL and the FBC-brake 170CA08201S01FBC.

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.
