Product Details
About This Caster - 170RT05201SL
Reach for this 5-inch Empire 170 swivel with a swivel lock when a mid-weight wet-area cart needs to steer, then run straight down a line.
A swivel lock holds the swivel from rotating so the caster tracks straight when engaged, then frees up to maneuver again. It locks the swivel, not the wheel, so the cart keeps rolling while it is held to a line. The wheel is glass-filled polypropylene, a stiff reinforced plastic rated -20 to 250°F that resists washdown chemicals and corrosion. It is hard with no cushioning, rolls cleanly on smooth floors, and can mark, and at 5 inches it carries up to 1,000 pounds on a roller bearing for manual pushing. The swivel turns on a kingpinless welded raceway, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 6-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.
Ideal applications
- 5-inch glass-filled poly swivel-lock caster up to 1,000 lb on tow lines
- Swivel lock tracking a mid-weight plastic wheel straight in wet bays
- Corrosion-proof 5-inch cart up to 250°F that switches to directional
For a wheel brake instead of a swivel lock, the 170RT05201SFBC stops the wheel.
Pairs with: plain RT swivels on the free corners and these swivel-lock casters where you want to hold a line.
Wrong fit? Need a wheel brake or a smaller wheel? See the 5-inch RT FBC-brake 170RT05201SFBC and the 4-inch RT swivel-lock 170RT04201SL.
Also in this family: the 6-inch RT swivel-lock 170RT06201SL, 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.
