by loose wheels—not just to other road users but to their own Operators' Licence if they lose a wheel. Since its launch in 1998, thousands of Wheel Nutlocks have been fitted to goods vehicles by both hauliers and passenger vehicle operators as part of their on-going vehicle safety programme. The Wheel Nutlock works on a simple principle covering two wheelnuts. If one ,rts to loosen, the adjacent we, to which it is linked, prevents further movement.
• The patented Wheel Nutlock is available in sizes to fit most HGVs, heavy vans and plant equipment using the following wheelnut sizes: 19, 24, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33 and 38mm. Wheel Nutlocks are re-usable and push-on fitted.
• Wheel Nutlocks nonnally cost 95p plus VAT each for a minimum order of 10 units—thus the cost of a 10-nut wheel pack costs less than £10.00. However, as a special offer to CM readers the manufacturers are offering a "starter pack" of 10 !Mocks including 2 FREE for just £9.90 including VAT and post and packing.
• For further information on the Wheel Nutlock, including samples or enquiries for hulk discounts on major fleet orders call or fax 01379 642563. (Allow 28 days for delivery).
(NB: The Wheel Nutlock can help reduce the risk of wheelnut loosening on CYs when used Inconjunction with a proper vehicle wheel fixing programme by the organ The suppliers can take no responiblity for wheel loss arising out of Inadequate maintenance practices or inappropriate vehicle usage. The Wheel Nutlock comet compensate for insufficient torquing of wheelnuts by an operator or fitter nor prevent a subsequent reduction in clamping pressures arising during the course of vehicle operations.)
