Product Details
About This Caster - 370PE06501SFBB
Specify this 6-inch polyurethane swivel with a face brake on a 2,000-pound cart that has to be rolled into position and then stay there, on a loading dock or any spot with a slight grade where a free-rolling rig will drift the moment the operator lets go.
The face brake is the difference. A pedal-cam presses a shoe straight onto the polyurethane tread and clamps the wheel against the floor, so a parked 2,000-pound load holds even on a ramp instead of creeping the way a friction side-lock allows. Underneath, the same kingpinless heat-treated raceway carries side load through every turn, and the wheel is green polyurethane on a cast iron core for the full 2,000-pound rating.
Ideal applications
- Dock-edge transfer carts parked on a grade, 1,500-2,000 lb, sealed concrete
- Assembly carts braked at each station, 1,200-1,800 lb fixture, 8 hr/day
- Maintenance rigs parked under load between jobs, 1,000-1,800 lb, finished floor
The face brake stops the wheel, not the swivel; if you also need to lock the cart from steering on a tow line, choose a total-lock variant rather than this face brake. For carts that only need occasional positioning, the plain 370PE06501S swivel costs less.
Pairs with: two of these braked swivels on one end and two 370PE06501R rigids on the other, so the cart locks and still tracks straight.
Wrong fit? Quiet, sub-750 lb institutional duty? See the 370MR06501S mold-on rubber swivel.
Also in this family: Rigid, Swivel, or the full Albion Empire series.

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.
