About This Caster - 170RT04201SFBBL
Choose this 4-inch braked swivel for an institutional cart that has to stay braked on its own, where the brake cannot be allowed to vibrate loose and let the cart roll off while it is parked.
The face brake clamps the wheel and the brake-lock holds the brake engaged, so the cart stays put even on a cart that gets bumped or works a slight grade. The wheel is tough glass-filled polypropylene, impact-resistant and chemical-tolerant to 250°F with no steel to rust, and the roller bearing carries the load. It is the lockable-brake institutional swivel of the 170 Series.
Ideal applications
- Institutional carts that must stay braked between uses, finished floor
- Rigs parked on a slight grade where a brake could shake loose, sealed floor
- Chemical-area carts needing a tough wheel and a locking brake, to 250°F
Skip the glass-filled wheel if the floor runs near 800°F; a cast iron 170CA holds to far higher heat where polypropylene reaches its limit.
Pairs with: matching 4-inch rigids on the back corners of an institutional cart.
Wrong fit? High heat? See the cast iron 170CA04201SFBC in the Albion caster 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.
