Product Details
About This Caster - 16PD04201R
Set this 4-inch 16 Series rigid on the back corners of a heavy non-marking cart, the polyurethane-on-aluminum caster whose die-cast core carries more than a plastic-core poly wheel that deflects and cups under load.
A polypropylene-core polyurethane wheel flexes at the center under a heavy load and the tread cups or cracks at the edge; the 16 Series PD wheel molds the green polyurethane to a die-cast aluminum core that does not deflect, so it carries the highest poly load and stays non-marking. The roller bearing carries the load at a walk, the rigid fork holds the line, and the 4 by 4-1/2 top plate bolts to a flat deck. USA-made for fast shipping.
Ideal applications
- Back corners of heavy non-marking carts
- Loads that flex and crack a plastic-core poly wheel
- Straight tracking at the highest poly capacity
Skip the polyurethane wheel if the floor runs near heat over 180°F or you want a softer cushioned ride; a cast iron 16 Series wheel takes the heat and a rubber-on-aluminum 16MG04201R cushions the ride quiet.
Pairs with: the 16PD04201S swivel up front for a steer-and-track cart.
Wrong fit? Need a swivel, or a cushioned tread? See the 16PD04201S swivel and the rubber-on-aluminum 16MG04201R.
Also in this family: the 5-inch 16PD05201R, 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.
