How Prolock Works:

 

Once the wheel nuts have been securely fitted to your vehicle and adjusted to the correct tightness (using a specially calibrated tool to ensure correct torque), the PROLOCK devices are fitted using a specialist tool and dead blow hammer to ensure they remain firmly in place. Once fitted you can rest assured that should any of the wheel nuts begin to lose its clamping force the device will continue to firmly hold it in place and prevent any potential disastrous wheel detachment incidents.

With the ability to remove the product during routine torque and operational inspections, the PROLOCK provides a versatile and efficient solution to your wheel safety needs and is available in a variety of sizes to suit most fleet requirements.

A well trusted and respected product, utilised by emergency services and commercial fleet operators nationwide, the PROLOCK wheel nut locking device is the perfect product to prevent the devastation caused from unnecessary wheel detachment incidents.
