Black Checklink Wheel Nut Indicator and Retainer (32mm)
Exc. VAT
The Checklink® is a dual-purpose wheel nut indicator and retainer designed to provide clear visual guidance of wheel nut movement while offering a retaining function between adjacent nuts. Installed across two neighbouring wheel nuts, its distinctive ‘S’ shape helps create resistance to loosening caused by vibration.
Manufactured from high-grade virgin polymer, Checklink® not only indicates nut movement through distortion of its shape but also provides overheating indication by melting at a specific temperature. This allows early identification of potential issues such as brake or bearing faults, supporting safer vehicle operation and more effective fleet inspections.
Key Features
- Dual-purpose design – acts as both a visual movement indicator and a retaining device between adjacent wheel nuts.
- Movement indication – distortion of the ‘S’ shape clearly highlights nut movement.
- Retaining function – specialist polymer link creates resistance to loosening caused by heavy vibration.
- Overheating indication – melting provides a visible warning of excessive wheel temperatures from possible brake or bearing faults.
- Supports fleet safety checks – enables faster and more efficient walkaround inspections.
- Cost-effective solution – simple to install and easy to implement across fleets.
- Professional safety commitment – demonstrates clear focus on roadworthiness and compliance to organisations including DfT, FORS, DVSA, HSE, FTA and RHA.
