Product Details
About This Caster - 170RT06201R
Pick this 6-inch Empire 170 rigid when a heavier straight-line cart needs a corrosion-proof wheel that rolls easily over rough floors.
The taller 6-inch wheel bridges cracks, drains, and door tracks with less effort and lifts capacity to 1,200 pounds on a fixed cart. The wheel is glass-filled polypropylene, a stiff reinforced plastic rated -20 to 250°F that resists washdown chemicals and rust where steel corrodes and rubber degrades. It is hard with no cushioning, so it transmits shock and can mark, and it runs on a roller bearing built for steady manual pushing. The rigid fork tracks straight only, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 7-1/2-inch mount height, and uses a kingpinless welded raceway with a zinc-plated finish.
Ideal applications
- 6-inch glass-filled poly rigid up to 1,200 lb on heavier straight-line carts
- Fixed 6-inch wheel bridging drains and door tracks in washdown areas
- Corrosion-proof 6-inch cart up to 250°F where rubber treads break down
For a wheel that steers instead of tracking straight, the 170RT06201S swivels.
Pairs with: two of these rigids on the fixed end and two RT swivels on the steering end of a 6-inch cart.
Wrong fit? Need to steer or a different height? See the 6-inch RT swivel 170RT06201S and the 5-inch RT rigid 170RT05201R.
Also in this family: the 8-inch RT rigid 170RT08201R01, 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.
