More Information About This Product
About This Caster - 170SE05228SL
Choose this 5-inch Empire 170 swivel with a swivel lock and precision ball bearing when an easy-steering cart needs to run straight down a line on command.
A swivel lock holds the swivel from rotating so the caster tracks straight when engaged, then releases to maneuver again. It locks the swivel, not the wheel, so the cart keeps rolling while held to a line. 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 when unlocked, 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 ball-bearing solid elastomer swivel-lock caster up to 1,000 lb on lines
- Swivel lock tracking an easy-swiveling 5-inch cushioned wheel straight
- Low-effort 5-inch elastomer cart for -40 to 230°F that switches to directional
For a wheel brake instead of a swivel lock, the 170SE05228SFBC stops the wheel.
Pairs with: plain SE ball-bearing swivels on the free corners and these swivel-lock casters where you want to hold a line.
Wrong fit? Need a wheel brake or heavier-duty towing? See the SE ball FBC-brake 170SE05228SFBC and the roller-bearing swivel-lock 170SE05201SL.
Also in this family: the 6-inch SE ball swivel-lock 170SE06228SL, or the full Albion collection.

Excellent service! Outstanding quality castors.
Great customer service and casters!
Great service, friendly staff and quality product.
Excellent all inclusive selection. Was able to use their product search to easily and accurately purchase two pieces of Seperate but related pieces of hardware. Product shipped and tracked per UPS and arrived in a timely manner while packaged and in good condition. Product quality is excellent especially given price was a very reasonable.
Purchased Blickle casters from W.T. Hight Company. Rated 5/5.
Long story short, we purchased an under-counter freezer that was too tall and needed the casters taken off. However, I had no idea how to do that so a quick Google led me to W.T. Hight and the customer representative, Lemuga, was super patient and walked me through the process! Although we didn't purchase anything this time, their customer service was wonderful and we will be keeping this company on our radar for all things casters!
I had an amazing experience with W.T. Hight Company! I purchased casters for my equipment, and the quality was outstanding — sturdy, reliable, and exactly what I needed. The customer service was top-notch; they were incredibly patient and walked me through the entire process to ensure I got the right fit. Highly recommended.
