Product Details
About This Caster - 170TM08201S01
Choose this 8-inch Empire 170 phenolic swivel when the heaviest cart needs to steer in extreme temperatures or chemical areas on a hard, low-friction wheel.
The 8-inch wheel clears the biggest obstacles while turning and handles up to 1,400 pounds under load. The wheel is phenolic, a hard resin-bonded composite that takes -65 to 250°F and resists oils, solvents, and water that break down softer treads, with low rolling resistance on smooth floors. It is hard with no cushioning, so it transmits shock, can mark, and is best off soft or littered surfaces. It runs on a roller bearing built for heavy pushing, and 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 9-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.
Ideal applications
- 8-inch black phenolic swivel up to 1,400 lb on the heaviest steering carts
- Maneuverable 8-inch phenolic wheel clearing obstacles in chemical or hot areas
- Oil and solvent resistant 8-inch steering wheel from -65 to 250°F
For a fixed wheel that tracks straight, the 170TM08201R01 is the rigid version.
Pairs with: two phenolic rigids on the fixed end and two of these swivels on the steering end.

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.
