8" Top Plate Rigid Caster with Glass-Filled Polypropylene Wheel and Face Brake (FBB) - 170RT08201S01FBBL

About This Caster - 170RT08201S01FBBL

Pick this 8-inch Empire 170 swivel with combined face brake and swivel lock when the heaviest wet-area cart has to steer, then park dead still.

This is the total-lock build: the face brake stops the wheel and the swivel lock holds the swivel, so the heaviest loaded cart cannot roll or rotate when set on a slope or at a loading point. The wheel is glass-filled polypropylene, a stiff reinforced plastic rated -20 to 250°F that resists washdown chemicals and corrosion. It is hard with no cushioning, rolls cleanly on smooth floors, and can mark, and at 8 inches it carries up to 1,400 pounds on a roller bearing for manual pushing. The swivel turns on a kingpinless welded raceway with no central pin to loosen, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 9-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.

Ideal applications

• 8-inch glass-filled poly total-lock swivel up to 1,400 lb that parks dead still
• Face brake and swivel lock holding the heaviest plastic wheel on washdown carts
• Steering 8-inch cart up to 250°F locked against roll and rotation on slopes

If holding the wheel alone is enough, the 170RT08201S01FBB drops the swivel lock.

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