Wheel-Check has been designed to keep fleets safe. Using a visual inspection, Wheel-Check will allow individuals to see if a wheel nut has backed off. Wheel separations from commercial vehicles happen frequently, the company says. Wheel-Check is designed to assist a driver and others in inspecting the wheels for loose wheel nuts through a simple and effective visual inspection.
Wheel-Checks are placed on the wheel nuts in a uniform pattern when the nuts are properly torqued to specification. Once a wheel nut has loosened, the Wheel-Check will move out of sequence. This visibly indicator will alert the driver doing their walk-around inspection. Additionally, a brake and bearing issue can also be identified by the blistering of the Wheel-Check, the company says.
Features of Wheel-Check include:
Proper wheel torque: Wheel-Check provides a simple, visual means of confirming proper wheel torque
Avoid downtime and fines: Loose or missing wheel nuts can result in downtime with both fines and impound, the company says.
Reduce accidents: Wheel-Checks help protect the public, as well as prevent property and load damage, the company says.
