8" Top Plate Swivel Caster with AN- Round Polyurethane Wheel (Aluminum Core) and Face Brake (FBB) - 170AN08228S01FBBL

About This Caster - 170AN08228S01FBBL

Set this 8-inch Empire 170 swivel with a combined face brake and swivel lock on the heaviest cart corner that has to steer, then lock down completely.

This is the total-lock version: a face brake stops the wheel from rolling and a swivel lock holds the swivel from turning, so the heaviest loaded cart parks dead still instead of drifting. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles while steering, and the orange round-profile polyurethane tread is non-marking and easy-rolling on a lightweight aluminum core. The kingpinless design carries shock without a central kingpin to fail. It steers on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 9-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -40 to 180°F.

Ideal applications

• 8-inch Empire 170 orange total-lock swivel parking a cart dead still
• Face brake and swivel lock holding wheel and swivel on an 8-inch caster
• Kingpinless aluminum-core swivel that fully locks clearing big obstacles

If holding the wheel alone is enough, the 170AN08228S01FBB drops the swivel lock.

Pairs with: plain Empire 170 swivels on the rolling corners and this total-lock caster on a parking corner.
