5" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Solid Elastomer Wheel and Swivel Lock (L) - 170SE05201SL

About This Caster - 170SE05201SL

Step up to this 5-inch Empire 170 swivel with a swivel lock and roller bearing when a heavy tow-line cart needs to steer, then run straight down a long line.

A swivel lock holds the swivel from rotating so the caster tracks straight when engaged, then releases to maneuver again, keeping a towed cart from wandering on a long run. It locks the swivel, not the wheel, so the cart keeps rolling when held. The wheel is solid elastomer, a tough rubber-like compound that absorbs shock and runs quietly without going flat, grey and non-marking on finished floors. The roller bearing is built for heavier sustained pushing and towing, and at 5 inches the caster carries up to 1,000 pounds and takes -40 to 230°F. The swivel turns on a kingpinless welded raceway, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 6-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.

Ideal applications

• 5-inch grey solid elastomer roller-bearing swivel-lock caster up to 1,000 lb on tows
• Swivel lock tracking a cushioned non-marking wheel straight on a long line
• Directional 5-inch elastomer cart for -40 to 230°F under heavy towing

For a wheel brake instead of a swivel lock, the 170SE05201SFBC stops the wheel.

Pairs with: plain SE roller swivels on the free corners and these swivel-lock casters where you want to hold a line.
