For commercial vehicle fleet owners and operators, wheel and tyre theft is the one thing they can’t afford! Trucks and their component parts are increasingly being stolen for their value as scrap and recycled materials. UK authorities have warned the road haulage industry that almost any part of a truck from side panels and catalytic converters to wheels and hubs have a financial value!
As recently as February of this year more than 100 wheels from brand new trucks were stolen as part of a targeted and pre-planned raid on Auto Plates UK in Middlesbrough. The stolen wheels were fitted with Bridgestone 623 tyres, which are rare in the UK.
“Wheels and tyres are an expensive commodity,” said Mike Marczynski, MD of Checkpoint® “Fitting Trucklock® is cost effective. You can protect a complete truck and trailer for a relatively small price when compared to the cost of one wheel and tyre”.
Trucklock® works by replacing one nut per wheel with the lock. The lock has a specially coded pattern milled into it that engages with the corresponding pattern on the key tool. Each key has its own unique encryption and can be encrypted individually or alike for fleet needs. The locks are made of high quality alloy steel and are hardened for strength and durability.
“Trucklock® offers trouble free protection and peace of mind,” continued Mike, “Fleet owners and operators can avoid increased insurance costs, delivery delays, lost business and possible vehicle damage”
*Checkpoint® is the leading global manufacturer and developer of the original wheel nut indicator. They have championed safety and protection for over 25 years working with both the FTA and RHA as well as raising the profile of safety on our roads in the UK with the Brake road safety charity
“A promise to protect with simple solutions” is a guiding philosophy for the Checkpoint organisation “Our range of wheel safety and protection products” adds Mike Marczynski, “can and will improve the safety and security of wheels”
Checkpoint® will be exhibiting Trucklock® at Automechanika Frankfurt 16th -20th September Hall 1:1 G20
