Product Details
About This Caster - 16CA04201SFBA
Specify this 4-inch 16 Series swivel for a cart that works near a furnace, oven, or forge, the cast iron caster whose wheel survives heat to 800°F where every elastomer and resin tread melts or chars.
Rubber gives by 180°F and phenolic chars past 250°F; the 16 Series cast iron wheel carries the highest load and rolls through radiant heat to 800°F, which a foundry, heat-treat, or oven-line cart needs, and the face brake clamps a shoe to the wheel to hold it at a station. The roller bearing carries the load at a walk, and the 4 by 4-1/2 top plate bolts to a flat deck. USA-made for fast shipping.
Ideal applications
- Foundry, forge, and oven-line carts to 800°F
- Heat that melts rubber and chars phenolic
- Braked fronts in radiant-heat service
Skip the cast iron wheel if the floor is finished or noise matters; it marks the floor and runs loud, so a rubber 16XS04201SFBA face brake rolls quiet and non-marking and a phenolic 16TM06201SFBA takes oil and heat to 250°F.
Pairs with: the 16CA03201R cast iron rigid on the back corners of a heat-service cart.
Wrong fit? Want no brake, or a quieter tread? See the plain 16CA03201S swivel and the rubber 16XS04201SFBA.
Also in this family: the 16CA03201S swivel, or the full Albion 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.
