8" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Phenolic Wheel and Face Brake (FBB) - 170TM08201S01FBBL

About This Caster - 170TM08201S01FBBL

Choose this 8-inch Empire 170 phenolic swivel with combined face brake and swivel lock when the heaviest cart works in extreme temperatures or chemical areas, then has to park dead still.

This is the total-lock build: the face brake stops the wheel and the swivel lock holds the swivel, so the heaviest loaded cart cannot roll or rotate when set on a slope or loading point. 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. 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, 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 total-lock swivel up to 1,400 lb in heat or chemical areas
• Face brake and swivel lock holding the heaviest phenolic wheel that parks dead still
• Extreme-temperature 8-inch cart from -65 to 250°F locked against roll and rotation

If holding the wheel alone is enough, the 170TM08201S01FBB drops the swivel lock.

Pairs with: plain phenolic swivels on the rolling corners and this total-lock caster on a parking corner.
