5" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Solid Elastomer Wheel and Face Brake (FBC) - 170SE05228SFBC

About This Caster - 170SE05228SFBC

Choose this 5-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBC face brake and precision ball bearing when an easy-steering cart turns in tight aisles, then parks and holds.

The FBC brake is the close-radius face-brake style, sized to stop the wheel where space is short and the cart maneuvers in close quarters. 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 precision ball bearing rolls and swivels with a lighter touch than a roller for easy hand repositioning, 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 with no central pin to loosen, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 6-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.
