LOOSE WHEEL-NUT INDICATORS
Wheel-Check makes it easy to know when a wheel needs servicing. It's a loose wheel nut indicator that provides a simple, visual means of confirming proper wheel torque in seconds. Such a warning reduces the risk of wheel detachment accidents and resulting load damage. The indicator is bright yellow, making it visible at night or in dirty conditions.

Below are some comments of fleet managers who have tried Wheel-Check:

"They're well accepted here, and we feel good about improving our safety posture."

Shop Foreman at StoneWood Transport

"We were retorquing the wheels on our fleet every week. With Wheel-Checks installed, we've eliminated the need to do this weekly. In one instance, three days after installing them, a driver on his routine walk-around discovered a spoke wheel that had broken, causing the studs and nuts to turn. We took care of it with little cost, and no damage to the motoring public, property or the vehicle."

Wheel-Checks provide a visual commitment to safety to the public, transportation authorities, drivers and technicians. Inspectors can confirm proper wheel torque or identify bearing or brake overheating problems at a glance.

In addition, they reduce costly wheel stud wear and breakage due to continuous retorquing.
Manufacturers recommend stud replacement after three retorquings. They cost only a few
dollars per wheel and pay for themselves in just one avoided retorque procedure.
