8" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Round Polyurethane Wheel and Swivel Lock (L) - 170PM08228S01L

About This Caster - 170PM08228S01L

Set this 8-inch Empire 170 firm-tread swivel with a swivel lock on the heaviest economical tow-line that needs to track straight on command.

A swivel lock holds the swivel from rotating so the caster runs dead straight when engaged, then releases to swivel again. It stops the swivel from turning, not the wheel from rolling, which keeps the heaviest towed cart from wandering down a line. The green round polyurethane tread is the standard firm durometer, non-marking and easy-rolling under load, and the PM build carries up to 1,500 pounds at this size with kingpinless durability and no central kingpin to loosen. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles while steering. It runs 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 economical Empire 170 firm green swivel-lock caster up to 1,500 lb
• Swivel lock tracking the firm green wheel straight at 8 inches
• Kingpinless 8-inch value swivel that switches to directional for tow lines

For a wheel brake instead of a swivel lock, the 170PM08228S01FBB stops the wheel.
