More Information About This Product
About This Caster - 170TM05201SL
Choose this 5-inch Empire 170 phenolic swivel with a swivel lock when a mid-weight tow-line cart works in cold or chemical areas and needs to run straight on command.
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 down a line. It locks the swivel, not the wheel, so the cart keeps rolling when held. The wheel is phenolic, a hard resin-bonded composite that takes -65 to 250°F and resists oils, solvents, and water with low rolling resistance on smooth floors. It is hard with no cushioning, so it transmits shock, can mark, and is best on smooth hard surfaces. At 5 inches it carries up to 1,000 pounds on a roller bearing, 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 black phenolic swivel-lock caster up to 1,000 lb on cold or chemical tow lines
- Swivel lock tracking a mid-weight phenolic wheel straight, then freeing to steer
- Oil and solvent resistant 5-inch cart from -65 to 250°F that holds a line
For a wheel brake instead of a swivel lock, the 170TM05201SFBC stops the wheel.
Pairs with: plain phenolic swivels on the free corners and these swivel-lock casters where you want to hold a line.
Wrong fit? Need a wheel brake or a cushioned ride? See the phenolic FBC-brake 170TM05201SFBC and the cushioned SE swivel-lock 170SE05201SL.
Also in this family: the 6-inch phenolic swivel-lock 170TM06201SL, 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.
