More Information About This Product
About This Caster - 170SE05201R
Step up to this 5-inch Empire 170 rigid with a roller bearing when a straight-line cart needs a cushioned wheel that rolls over floor seams under steady heavy pushing.
The taller 5-inch wheel bridges cracks and thresholds with less effort than a smaller one. The wheel is solid elastomer, a tough rubber-like compound that absorbs shock and runs quietly without ever going flat, grey and non-marking on finished floors. The roller bearing is built for heavier sustained pushing and stands up to shock loads, and the caster carries up to 1,000 pounds and takes -40 to 230°F. The rigid fork tracks straight only 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 grey solid elastomer roller-bearing rigid up to 1,000 lb on straight carts
- Cushioned non-marking wheel bridging seams under heavy sustained pushing
- Fixed 5-inch roller-bearing elastomer wheel for -40 to 230°F that never goes flat
For a wheel that steers instead of tracking straight, the 170SE05201S swivels.
Pairs with: two of these rigids on the fixed end and two SE roller swivels on the steering end.
Wrong fit? Need to steer or a smaller wheel? See the SE roller swivel 170SE05201S and the 4-inch SE roller rigid 170SE04201R.
Also in this family: the precision-ball 5-inch rigid 170SE05228R, 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.
