About This Caster - 170PM05228S80AFBC
Set this 5-inch Empire 170 soft-tread swivel with an FBC face brake on a cart corner that maneuvers in tight space, then parks and holds with a cushioned ride.
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 with a tighter swivel radius, for a cart that turns in close quarters. The 80A tread is a softer 80 Shore A polyurethane that absorbs shock and runs quieter than the firm green PM, gentler on delicate loads, while carrying up to 1,000 pounds at this size. The butterscotch round polyurethane is non-marking, and the PM build is kingpinless with no central kingpin to loosen. It steers on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 6-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -40 to 180°F.
Ideal applications
- 5-inch economical Empire 170 soft 80A FBC-braked swivel up to 1,000 lb
- FBC face brake stopping a softer butterscotch cushioned wheel
- Tight-radius kingpinless cushioned swivel that locks in close quarters
For the wider-radius face brake instead, the 170PM05228S80AFBB uses the FBB style.
Pairs with: plain 80A swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.
Wrong fit? Need the FBB brake or a swivel lock? See the 80A FBB-brake 170PM05228S80AFBB and the 80A swivel-lock 170PM05228S80AL.
Also in this family: the firm green FBC-brake 170PM05228SFBC, or the full Albion collection.

Excellent service! Outstanding quality castors.
Great customer service and casters!
Great service, friendly staff and quality product.
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.
