Product Details
About This Caster - 2.05267.445 MTG42
Choose this 5-inch Performa rubber swivel with the ball bearing and expanding adapter stem for a busy round-tube cart whose leg matches the MTG42 sleeve, the size-matched grip that clamps that tube ID and the ball bearing that rolls the load easy.
The MTG42 sleeve grips a tube ID a step from the MTG41 size, the expanding adapter clamps the round leg with no weld, the ball bearing carries a heavier load and rolls it with less push than a Delrin bore, and the tall 5-inch Performa rubber tread cushions the load and clears the biggest thresholds. Confirm the MTG42 sleeve matches your tube ID before you order. It is the size-matched easy-rolling tall round-tube rubber swivel for a busy tube-frame cart.
Ideal applications
- Busy round-tube cart sized to the MTG42 sleeve
- Ball bearing that rolls a loaded tube cart easy
- Tall 5-inch wheel that clears the biggest thresholds on a tube frame
Tube ID lands on the MTG41 size, or you want a brake? Use the MTG41 sleeve or a braked stem.
Pairs with: the rubber Delrin expanding-stem swivel MTG44 on the corners you move less.
Wrong fit? Want a brake or a different tube ID? See the total-lock rubber ball expanding-stem swivel MTG42 and the rubber ball expanding-stem swivel MTG41.
Also in this family: the braked rubber ball expanding-stem swivel MTG46, or the 2 Series caster 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.
