Win a free trial with Wheelsure at CIWM!

Revolutionary technology that will help save lives is being brought to the CIWM Exhibition by Wheelsure Ltd. Exhibiting for the first time this year, Wheelsure can be found in the Education and Technology Centre at Preston Green on stand 219, where they will be demonstrating their patented wheel nut locking device.

Visitors to the stand will be able to enter a competition to win a free trial of the product, simply by completing a short questionnaire. Animated presentations produced especially for Wheelsure by Bolt Science and SE Systems will also be on display. Bolt Science explores the factors that contribute to wheel nut loosening and the effects of vibration, demonstrated on a Junker machine; SE Systems presents the results of bolt testing that clearly explains how clamping force, and therefore wheel security, is lost on bolts that have been used, corroded or damaged.

Gerhard Dodl, chief executive officer of Wheelsure, explains: “Wheel loss is an issue that we hear of almost every week and we have seen examples of even the best maintained fleets suffering from wheel nuts loosening. This is a particular concern for those operating waste vehicles and tippers. Our product has gone through some rigorous testing which proves it to be highly durable, and makes it ideal for use on these types of vehicles. We are 100% confident that our product will prevent this problem.”

The device takes the form of a modified wheel stud and counter-threaded locking cap; the locking cap covers the wheel nut, holding it in place. In the event of the wheel nut attempting to loosen, the left hand threaded locking cap tightens. This means that there will be no further loosening of the wheel nut, which could prevent the potentially fatal loss of a wheel.
