Checklink

The Checklink® helps ensure, by linking one wheel nut to the next, that a loosened wheel nut will not spin off the stud.

However the Checklink® is not a wheel nut locking device. It is a wheel nut restraint should a wheel nut loosen off. As such it is for use as an integrated part of a roadworthiness fleet risk management reporting and documenting regime. Distortion of the wheel nut link observed during the inspection of the road wheels within the normal daily roadworthiness walk-round, indicates that a wheel nut has loosened off.

Checklink® is manufactured from heavy-duty polypropylene and is suitable for use where transient hub or braking temperatures of up to 125°c can be experienced. It is reusable, and impervious to attack from road salts and chemical contaminants, oils and petroleum, and commonly used vehicle cleaning agents. Being UV stabilised, it is not subject to degradation. It is designed to be a tight, almost interference fit, on the wheel nut.

The use of the Checklink® still requires that the standard retorque inspections need to be adhered to after a wheel or wheel nut has been removed and refitted for whatever reason.

A full range of Checklink® of the commonly used wheel nut sizes of between 19mm to 38mm across the flats, are available.

The standard stock colour for all sizes and variants of the range is Fluoro Yellow.

Alternatively the standard size range and variants can be supplied, at extra cost, size colour coded.
