Product Details
About This Caster - 170RT06201SFBB
Pick this 6-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBB face brake when a heavier wet-area cart steers in open space and must stay put once parked.
The FBB brake is the wider-radius face-brake style, pressing a shoe against the wheel to hold a loaded cart in place. The wheel is glass-filled polypropylene, a stiff reinforced plastic rated -20 to 250°F that resists washdown chemicals and corrosion where steel rusts. It is hard with no cushioning, rolls cleanly on smooth floors, and can mark, and at 6 inches it carries up to 1,200 pounds on a roller bearing for manual pushing. The swivel turns 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 FBB-braked swivel up to 1,200 lb in open space
- Wide-radius FBB face brake holding a heavier plastic wheel on washdown carts
- Steering 6-inch cart up to 250°F that parks and holds in caustic bays
For a total lock that also holds the swivel, the 170RT06201SFBBL adds a swivel lock.
Pairs with: plain RT swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.
Wrong fit? Need a total lock or the tighter brake? See the 6-inch RT total-lock 170RT06201SFBBL and the 6-inch RT FBC-brake 170RT06201SFBC.
Also in this family: the 5-inch RT FBB-brake 170RT05201SFBB, 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.
