Checklink® dual purpose loose wheel nut Indicator Yellow Pk50
Checklink® is offered in a range of sizes to cover a wide scope of applications throughout industrial, agricultural, military, mining and commercial vehicle sectors amongst others.

- Provide a wheel nut retaining function to reduce wheel nut loosening and reduce the likelihood of wheel nuts from completely backing off the wheel hub

- Provide a clear visual commitment to roadworthiness and professionalism to other road users, customers, health and safety, road and transportation associations

Additional information
For best practice Checklink® fitting, please see the downloads tab. The product is designed to be fitted on wheels without trims/step rings, as the design of the product would not allow it to fit through the access hole on a trim/step ring.
Checklink® is fitted onto the wheel nuts once the nuts have been tightened to the manufacturers recommendations using a suitable torque wrench. This must be monitored closely through routine walk around checks, so that if any of the Checklinks® become deformed, appropriate action can be taken.
Checklink® Standard/High Temp (HT) are manufactured in the highest quality virgin polymers and are resistant to moisture/water, road salt, oil, detergents and most other common solvents/contaminants.
