Product Details
About This Caster - 170AX04228SFBC
Set this 4-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBC face brake on an economical cart corner that has to steer in tight space, then park and hold.
A face brake presses a shoe against the wheel to stop it, holding a loaded cart on its spot. The FBC brake is the alternate face-brake style to the FBB version, and at a tighter swivel radius it suits a cart that maneuvers in close quarters. The AX build brings kingpinless durability and up to 700 pounds of capacity at this size, and the maroon round-profile polyurethane tread is non-marking and easy-rolling on a lightweight aluminum core. It steers on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 5-5/8-inch mount height, and holds from -40 to 180°F.
Ideal applications
- 4-inch economical Empire 170 maroon FBC-braked swivel up to 700 lb
- FBC face brake stopping the 4-inch maroon non-marking wheel
- Tight-radius kingpinless value swivel that locks under load
For the wider-radius face brake instead, the 170AX04228SFBB uses the FBB style.
Pairs with: plain Empire 170 swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.
Wrong fit? Need the FBB brake or a swivel lock? See the FBB-brake 170AX04228SFBB and the swivel-lock 170AX04228SL.
Also in this family: the 5-inch maroon FBC-brake 170AX05228SFBC, or the full Albion 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.
