Wheetsure, part of WS Group, markets a range of unique locking devices to prevent wheelnut loosening and wheel loss.
The products are already installed by some of Britain's leading fleets in both the tipper and PSV sectors and are proving highly effective.
The Department for Transport conservatively estimates 7,500-11,000 wheel fixing problems per annum, resulting in approximately 150-400 complete detachments. The problem is caused when clamping force falls below the level at which the wheel is secured tightly.
Clamping force may well fall below the recommended levels despite the effectiveness of your torque maintenance regime.
The Wheelsure Locking DevicelsI provide an engineered solution to the problem that makes the vehicle safer and cheaper over its lifetime.
The modification of the existing wheel bolt with a left hand thread combined with the stainless Locking Cover as illustrated) provide the safeguard that the original nut cannot back off under vibration.
At the Wheelsure stand you can also see a demonstration of how quickly wheel nuts Loosen in certain circumstances.
