Product Details
About This Caster - 170RT06201S
Pick this 6-inch Empire 170 swivel when a heavier cart needs to steer through a wet or hot area and roll over uneven floors.
The 6-inch swivel rolls over seams and debris with less effort than a smaller wheel and handles up to 1,200 pounds while turning under load. The wheel is glass-filled polypropylene, a stiff reinforced plastic rated -20 to 250°F that resists washdown chemicals and corrosion 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 7-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.
Ideal applications
- 6-inch glass-filled poly swivel up to 1,200 lb on heavier steering corners
- Maneuverable 6-inch corrosion-proof wheel rolling over seams in wet bays
- Hot-line carts up to 250°F that need a taller plastic wheel to turn
For a fixed wheel that tracks straight, the 170RT06201R is the rigid version.
Pairs with: two RT rigids on the fixed end and two of these swivels on the steering end of a 6-inch cart.
Wrong fit? Need a brake or a smaller wheel? See the 6-inch RT FBB-brake 170RT06201SFBB and the 5-inch RT swivel 170RT05201S.
Also in this family: the 8-inch RT swivel 170RT08201S01, 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.
