Product Details
About This Caster - 170TM08201S01FBB
Choose this 8-inch Empire 170 phenolic swivel with an FBB face brake when the heaviest cart steers in hot or chemical areas and must stay put once parked.
The FBB brake is the wider-radius face-brake style, pressing a shoe against the wheel to hold the heaviest loaded cart on its spot. The wheel is phenolic, a hard resin-bonded composite that takes -65 to 250°F and resists oils, solvents, and water, 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. At 8 inches it carries up to 1,400 pounds on a roller bearing, 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 FBB-braked swivel up to 1,400 lb in hot or chemical areas
- Wide-radius FBB face brake holding the heaviest phenolic wheel on its spot
- Oil and solvent resistant 8-inch cart from -65 to 250°F that parks and holds
For a total lock that also holds the swivel, the 170TM08201S01FBBL adds a swivel lock.
Pairs with: plain phenolic swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.

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.
