Product Details
About This Caster - PTW50101BK
Set this 50mm Source II swivel under a small flat-framed cart that bolts down through a compact top plate.
It mounts through a 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 inch top plate, a small bolt pattern that fits a light electronics chassis, bin, or utility frame. The Source II is an all-nylon build, body and wheel both, which keeps it economical, and the white nylon wheel resists the moisture and chemicals that swell other treads and holds to 250°F. The plain bearing keeps the roll simple, and at 50mm it keeps a light deck close to the floor.
Ideal applications
- Small flat frames bolting to a compact 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 inch plate
- Light electronics, bins, and utility carts on a budget
- Nylon wheels that resist moisture and hold to 250°F
For a corner that must hold the cart still, the tread-lock PTW50101BK-B locks the wheel.
Pairs with: matching top-plate Source II swivels on the other corners of the same frame.
Wrong fit? Mounting to a round leg, or need a brake? See the grip-ring PTW50223BK and the tread-lock PTW50101BK-B.
Also in this family: the threaded-stem PTW50507BK, or the full Shepherd 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.
