Wheel Sentry Wheel Nut Indicators help to prevent the expense of damages and accidents following the event of a loose wheel and provide a prompt indication of any potential wheel detachment problems. The bright green nut covers are clearly visible and are fitted and linked together with a Viton band that allows wheel nuts to loosen slightly, but then holds them in place at a lower torque level until a driver completes their daily check and re-torques the nuts. For more information on how Wheel Sentry works, you can read our blog here.
KEY BENEFITS OF WHEEL SENTRY
- Significantly reduces the risk of wheel detachments, accidents, injuries and fatalities
- Makes wheel checks and maintenance easy and therefore reduces downtime and costly repairs, reducing the time your vehicles spend in the workshop.
- Prevent expensive VOSA prohibitions for suspect wheel fixings, and the consequences for drivers, operators’ OCRS (Operator Compliance Risk Score), and maintenance staff.
- A unique two-in-one solution that both indicates and retains loosened wheel nuts
- Fits all known stud configurations up to 10 studs and is the only indicator that effectively manages 5-stud configurations
- No tools are needed to install or replace the wheel indicators; installed using an easy push-fit system.
- Heat build-up easily detected
- Prevents metal fatigue or thread damage through overstretching
