Description
Checkpoint Wheel Nut Indicator – 27mm Yellow
Checkpoint Wheel Nut Indicator is a loose wheel nut indicator that is used extensively by the transport industry as an enhancement and development of fleet safety roadworthiness procedures, daily walk-round inspection and defect reporting and scheduled maintenance requirements.
Its use allows accurate monitoring for loose wheel nuts and helps prevent wheel hub damage or the loss of a road wheel should a wheel nut loosen.
Checkpoint Wheel Nut Indicator is fixed to the wheel nut by gripping the six corners of the hexagon of the wheel nut. When the wheel is being fitted the Checkpoint Wheel Nut Indicator pointers should be aligned and set in a recognisable pattern. Should a wheel nut loosen off, the Checkpoint Wheel Nut Indicator has no option but to move with the nut and so break the recognisable pattern that was set, thus indicating the wheel nut has begun to rotate and therefore to loosen.
