Need a combined wheel-nut indicator and retainer in one? Wheel Sentry® does just that! Wheel Sentry® indicates any wheel nut movement while retaining the nuts.
Simply fitted to the wheel nuts of your HGV, they are linked together with a Viton band that allows wheel nuts to loosen slightly, but then holds them at a lower torque level. The new position of the Wheel Sentry® indicator is clearly visible when checked and ensures prompt attention to the loosened nut.
Wheel Sentry® retains wheel nuts without causing the fatigue and thread damage that conventional retainers can. Helping prevent the expense of damage or accident, and giving prompt indication of any potential problems.
