About This Caster - 170RT08201R01
Pick this 8-inch Empire 170 rigid when the heaviest straight-line cart needs a corrosion-proof wheel that clears the biggest floor obstacles.
The largest wheel in the RT line clears thick thresholds, hose runs, and dock plates and lifts capacity to 1,400 pounds on a fixed cart. The wheel is glass-filled polypropylene, a stiff reinforced plastic rated -20 to 250°F that resists washdown chemicals and rust where steel corrodes and rubber degrades. It is hard with no cushioning, so it transmits shock and can mark, and it runs on a roller bearing built for steady manual pushing. The rigid fork tracks straight only, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 9-1/2-inch mount height, and uses a kingpinless welded raceway with a zinc-plated finish.
Ideal applications
- 8-inch glass-filled poly rigid up to 1,400 lb on the heaviest straight-line carts
- Fixed 8-inch wheel clearing dock plates and hose runs in washdown areas
- Corrosion-proof 8-inch cart up to 250°F where rubber treads break down
For a wheel that steers instead of tracking straight, the 170RT08201S01 swivels.
Pairs with: two of these rigids on the fixed end and two RT swivels on the steering end of an 8-inch cart.
Wrong fit? Need to steer or a shorter wheel? See the 8-inch RT swivel 170RT08201S01 and the 6-inch RT rigid 170RT06201R.
