Product Details
About This Caster - 170PM08228R0180A
Set this 8-inch Empire 170 rigid on a fixed corner of the heaviest economical cart that needs a softer, cushioned ride over the worst floors.
This is the 80A version: a softer 80 Shore A polyurethane tread that absorbs more shock and runs quieter than the firm green PM, gentler on delicate loads and finished floors while still carrying up to 1,500 pounds at this size. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles, and the butterscotch round polyurethane is non-marking. The PM build is kingpinless with no central kingpin to loosen. As a rigid caster it tracks straight on the fixed corners, runs on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 9-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -40 to 180°F.
Ideal applications
- 8-inch economical Empire 170 soft 80A rigid up to 1,500 lb
- Softer butterscotch tread cushioning the heaviest loads, tracking straight
- Kingpinless cushioned rigid at a 9-1/2 mount height
For the firmer standard tread, the green 170PM08228R01 uses a harder durometer.
Pairs with: the 8-inch 80A swivel 170PM08228S0180A on the steering corners and this rigid on the fixed corners.
Wrong fit? Need a swivel or the firmer green tread? See the 8-inch 80A swivel 170PM08228S0180A and the firm green rigid 170PM08228R01.
Also in this family: the 6-inch 80A rigid 170PM06228R80A, 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.
