About This Caster - 170SE05228R
Step up to this 5-inch Empire 170 rigid with a precision ball bearing when a straight-line cart needs a cushioned wheel that clears seams and rolls with the least operator effort.
The taller 5-inch wheel bridges cracks and thresholds while the precision ball bearing keeps push effort low. The wheel is solid elastomer, a tough rubber-like compound that absorbs shock and runs quietly without ever going flat, grey and non-marking on finished floors. A loaded cart breaks away and moves with a lighter touch than a roller bearing allows, easing repetitive trips, and the caster carries up to 1,000 pounds and takes -40 to 230°F. The rigid fork tracks straight only 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 ball-bearing rigid up to 1,000 lb with easy break-away
- Cushioned non-marking wheel clearing seams with low push effort
- Fixed 5-inch ball-bearing elastomer wheel for -40 to 230°F that never goes flat
For a wheel that steers instead of tracking straight, the 170SE05228S swivels.
Pairs with: two of these rigids on the fixed end and two SE ball-bearing swivels on the steering end.
Wrong fit? Need to steer or heavier-duty towing? See the SE ball swivel 170SE05228S and the roller-bearing 5-inch rigid 170SE05201R.
Also in this family: the 4-inch SE ball rigid 170SE04228R, or the full Albion collection.
