Product Details
About This Caster - 170RT05201S
Reach for this 5-inch Empire 170 swivel when a cart needs to steer through a wet or hot area and carry more than the 4-inch wheel.
At 5 inches this swivel handles up to 1,000 pounds and turns more easily under load than a smaller wheel. The wheel is glass-filled polypropylene, a stiff reinforced plastic rated -20 to 250°F that resists washdown chemicals and rust where steel and rubber struggle. It is hard with no cushioning, rolls cleanly on smooth floors, passes shock through, and can mark, and it runs on a roller bearing meant for manual pushing. The swivel pivots on a kingpinless welded raceway with no central pin to loosen, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 6-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated for damp-area service.
Ideal applications
- 5-inch glass-filled poly swivel up to 1,000 lb on steering corners
- Maneuverable 5-inch corrosion-proof wheel for wet or caustic carts
- Hot-line carts up to 250°F that need to turn on a plastic wheel
For a fixed wheel that tracks straight, the 170RT05201R is the rigid version.
Pairs with: two RT rigids on the fixed end and two of these swivels on the steering end of a 5-inch cart.
Wrong fit? Need a brake or a smaller wheel? See the 5-inch RT FBB-brake 170RT05201SFBB and the 4-inch RT swivel 170RT04201S.
Also in this family: the 6-inch RT swivel 170RT06201S, 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.
