4" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Solid Elastomer Wheel and Face Brake (FBB) - 170SE04228SFBB

About This Caster - 170SE04228SFBB

Choose this 4-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBB face brake and precision ball bearing when an often-repositioned cart steers easily, then has to stay put when parked.

The FBB brake is the wider-radius face-brake style, pressing a shoe against the wheel to hold a loaded cart on its spot. The wheel is solid elastomer, a tough rubber-like compound that absorbs shock and runs quietly without going flat, grey and non-marking on finished floors. The precision ball bearing rolls and swivels with a lighter touch than a roller for easy hand repositioning, and at 4 inches the caster carries up to 1,000 pounds and takes -40 to 230°F. 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 low 5-5/8-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.

Ideal applications
