8" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Round Polyurethane Wheel and Face Brake (FBB) - 170PM08228S0180AFBB

About This Caster - 170PM08228S0180AFBB

Set this 8-inch Empire 170 soft-tread swivel with an FBB face brake on the heaviest economical cart corner that needs a cushioned ride, then parks and holds.

A face brake presses a shoe against the wheel to stop it, holding the heaviest loaded cart on its spot. The 80A version uses a softer 80 Shore A polyurethane tread that absorbs shock and runs quieter than the firm green PM, gentler on delicate loads, while carrying up to 1,500 pounds at this size. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles, the butterscotch round polyurethane is non-marking, and the PM build is kingpinless with no central kingpin to loosen. 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.

• 8-inch economical Empire 170 soft 80A braked swivel up to 1,500 lb
