More Information About This Product
About This Caster - 170SE08228R01
Reach for this 8-inch Empire 170 rigid with a precision ball bearing when the heaviest straight-line cart needs a cushioned wheel that clears big obstacles and rolls with the least operator effort.
The largest wheel in the SE line clears thresholds, hose runs, and dock plates while the precision ball bearing keeps push effort low. 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. A loaded cart breaks away and moves with a lighter touch than a roller bearing allows, easing repetitive trips, and the caster carries up to 1,200 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 9-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.
Ideal applications
- 8-inch ball-bearing solid elastomer rigid up to 1,200 lb with easy break-away
- Cushioned non-marking 8-inch wheel clearing dock plates with low push effort
- Fixed 8-inch ball-bearing elastomer wheel for -40 to 230°F that never goes flat
For a wheel that steers instead of tracking straight, the 170SE08228S01 swivels.
Pairs with: two of these rigids on the fixed end and two SE ball-bearing swivels on the steering end.
Wrong fit? Need to steer or heavier-duty towing? See the SE ball swivel 170SE08228S01 and the roller-bearing 8-inch rigid 170SE08201R01.
Also in this family: the 6-inch SE ball rigid 170SE06228R, 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.
