8" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Round Polyurethane Wheel and Face Brake (FBC) - 170PM08228S01FBC

About This Caster - 170PM08228S01FBC

Set this 8-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBC face brake on the heaviest economical cart corner that maneuvers in tight space, 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 FBC brake is the alternate face-brake style with a tighter swivel radius, for a heavy cart that turns in close quarters. The green round polyurethane tread is the standard firm durometer, non-marking and easy-rolling for everyday loads, and the PM build carries up to 1,500 pounds at this size with kingpinless durability. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles while steering. 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 green FBC-braked swivel up to 1,500 lb
