More Information About This Product
About This Caster - 170TM06201SFBC
Choose this 6-inch Empire 170 phenolic swivel with an FBC face brake when a heavier cart turns in tight space around oils or solvents and rolls over rough floors, then parks and holds.
The FBC brake is the close-radius face-brake style, sized to stop the wheel where aisles are short. The taller 6-inch wheel bridges seams while staying hard and low-friction. The wheel is phenolic, a hard resin-bonded composite that takes -65 to 250°F and resists oils, solvents, and water. It is hard with no cushioning, so it transmits shock, can mark, and is best on smooth hard surfaces. At 6 inches it carries up to 1,200 pounds on a roller bearing, 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 7-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.
Ideal applications
- 6-inch black phenolic FBC-braked swivel up to 1,200 lb in tight oily aisles
- Close-radius FBC face brake holding a heavier phenolic wheel in close quarters
- Oil and solvent resistant 6-inch cart from -65 to 250°F that parks and holds
For the wider-radius brake plus a swivel lock, the 170TM06201SFBBL adds a total lock.
Pairs with: plain phenolic swivels on the rolling corners and this braked caster on a parking corner.
Wrong fit? Need a total lock or a cushioned ride? See the phenolic total-lock 170TM06201SFBBL and the cushioned SE FBC-brake 170SE06201SFBC.
Also in this family: the 6-inch phenolic swivel-lock 170TM06201SL, 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.
