About This Caster - 170PM05228SL
Set this 5-inch Empire 170 swivel with a swivel lock on an economical 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 towed cart from wandering down a line. The green round polyurethane tread is the standard firm durometer, non-marking and easy-rolling for everyday loads, and the PM build carries up to 1,000 pounds at this size with kingpinless durability. It runs 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 green swivel-lock caster up to 1,000 lb
- Swivel lock holding the firm green wheel straight on demand
- Kingpinless value swivel that switches to directional for tow lines
For a wheel brake instead of a swivel lock, the 170PM05228SFBB stops the wheel.
Pairs with: plain green PM swivels on the free corners and these swivel-lock casters on the corners you want to hold a line.
Wrong fit? Need a wheel brake or a softer tread? See the green face-brake 170PM05228SFBB and the soft 80A swivel-lock 170PM05228S80AL.
Also in this family: the 6-inch green swivel 170PM06228S, 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.
