5" Top Plate Swivel Caster with AX-Round Polyurethane Wheel (Aluminum Core) and Face Brake (FBB) - 170AX05228SFBBL

About This Caster - 170AX05228SFBBL

Set this 5-inch Empire 170 swivel with a combined face brake and swivel lock on an economical cart corner that has to steer, then lock down completely.

This is the value total-lock version: a face brake stops the wheel and a swivel lock holds the swivel, so a loaded cart parks dead still instead of drifting. The AX build brings kingpinless durability and up to 1,000 pounds of capacity at this size, and at 5 inches it clears thresholds while steering. 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 6-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -40 to 180°F.

Ideal applications

• 5-inch economical Empire 170 maroon total-lock swivel up to 1,000 lb
• Face brake and swivel lock holding wheel and swivel on a 5-inch caster
• Kingpinless value swivel that fully locks clearing thresholds

If holding the wheel alone is enough, the 170AX05228SFBB drops the swivel lock.

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