WheelSentry® Guide
WheelSentry® is a two-in-one loose wheel nut indicator and retainer, combining clear visual indication with physical retention to help protect against wheel loss. Connected by a safe band, it makes daily wheel checks quick and easy while helping prevent wheel detachment. At MAXA Group, the WheelSentry® range includes the standard range, double-pointer range, long-reach range, low-profile range, reflector range and safe bands, with sizes to suit HGVs, LGVs and trailers.
Why WheelSentry®
WheelSentry® brings together two safety functions in one product. As an indicator, it gives a clear visual reference so any movement of a wheel nut is easy to spot during inspections. As a retainer, the connecting safe band helps hold the nuts, adding protection against wheel loss.
Because it is quick to fit and simple to check, WheelSentry® can help speed up daily inspections while supporting wheel safety across commercial vehicles, trailers and plant fleets. Replacement safe bands are also available to keep existing sets in service.
Choosing the Right WheelSentry® Range
The right range depends on the wheel and how the vehicle is used. The standard range suits most common applications, while options such as long-reach, low-profile and double-pointer help suit different wheel arrangements and inspection needs. The reflector range adds low-light visibility for night and roadside checks.
Selecting the range and size to suit the wheel helps ensure a secure fit and clear indication.
