About This Caster - 170SE08228S01FBC
Reach for this 8-inch Empire 170 swivel with an FBC face brake and precision ball bearing when an easy-steering heavy 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 8 inches the caster carries up to 1,200 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 9-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.
Ideal applications
- 8-inch ball-bearing solid elastomer FBC-braked swivel up to 1,200 lb
- Close-radius FBC face brake holding an easy-swiveling 8-inch cushioned wheel
- Low-effort 8-inch ball-bearing elastomer cart for -40 to 230°F in close quarters
For the wider-radius brake, the 170SE08228S01FBB uses the FBB style.
Pairs with: plain SE ball-bearing swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.
Wrong fit? Need the wider brake or heavier-duty towing? See the SE ball FBB-brake 170SE08228S01FBB and the roller-bearing FBC-brake 170SE08201S01FBC.
Also in this family: the SE ball swivel-lock 170SE08228S01L, or the full Albion collection.

What our customers say
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.
