Product Details
About This Caster - 18NX04228R
Set this 4-inch ergonomic nylon rigid on a fixed corner of a hot or caustic-area cart where operators move loads all shift.
The 18 series cuts operator strain with a low-resistance, quiet-rolling wheel, and the black nylon version adds heat and chemical resistance the polyurethane wheel lacks, holding up to 220°F. The trade is that a hard wheel gives no cushioning and can be hard on a soft floor, so it suits sealed concrete. As a rigid caster it tracks straight on the fixed corners, and the zinc-plated frame resists corrosion. It runs on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 5-5/8-inch mount height, and holds from -30 to 220°F.
Ideal applications
- 4-inch black nylon ergonomic rigid in a hot or caustic area
- High-heat 220°F 4-inch wheel rolling with low push force
- Hard nylon rigid tracking straight on a 4 by 4-1/2 plate
For a steering corner instead of a fixed one, the 18NX04228S adds the ergonomic swivel bearing.
Pairs with: the 4-inch nylon ergonomic swivel 18NX04228S on the steering corners and this rigid on the fixed corners.
Wrong fit? Need a swivel or a non-marking floor-friendly tread? See the 4-inch nylon swivel 18NX04228S and the 4-inch PU rigid 18AX04228R.
Also in this family: the 5-inch nylon rigid 18NX05228R, 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.
