for Wheel-Check – a loose wheel nut indicator tool
Your Wheel-Check Distributor in Gunnedah
Wheel-Check Australia is an authorised distributor of Wheel-Check, a simple but very important tool for quickly letting you know if any of your wheel nuts are loose. In the transport industry, detached wheels caused by loose wheel nuts can cause major harm to drivers, the public, and property. With a quick, visual check you can now see that your wheel nuts are tight, or if any of them need to be re-torqued.
How It Works
Daily maintenance checks on all vehicles used in the transport industry are vital to keep you and the public safe from accidents, and to protect valuable property.
When you use Wheel-Checks on all your wheel nuts you can do a visual check to ensure your wheel nuts are tight. Once the nuts are properly torqued to the correct specifications, the Wheel-Checks are placed on each wheel nut in a uniform pattern.
When a wheel nut has loosened, the Wheel-Check will no longer be part of the pattern and you can quickly see which nuts need tightening or other maintenance.
Proper Installation
Wheel-Check will save time and money by reducing the need to check all the wheel nuts by hand, but you must use the correct size and ensure they are properly installed.
Each wheel nut has one Wheel-Check placed on it, with the name number and size facing out. You can choose any pattern for them but it must be uniform across all wheels, and easy to see if any Wheel-Check has moved out of the pattern. Simply push the Wheel-Check on with a socket wrench and you’re ready to go.
We can provide expert advice on the best patterns to use, and the best type of Wheel-Check for you.
