Tectran has the most complete line of wheel nut indicators with many different styles to meet fleet needs

  • Wheel Nut Indicators provide a simple, visual means of confirming proper wheel nut torque in seconds
  • Reduces risk of wheel detachment accidents and resulting load damage and may reduce insurance costs
  • Reduces equipment downtime and maintenance costs associated with needless re-torquing
  • Resistant to highway and cleaning chemicals
  • Easy to install and difficult to tamper with or dislodge
  • Bright color permits visibility at night and in dirty or muddy conditions
  • High temperature Wheel-Check can withstand heat temperatures to approximately 450º F

Temperature-sensitive polymer detects bearing or brake overheating problems by deforming at temperatures above 120°C / 250°F. Will withstand extreme cold temperatures (-75°C / -100°F) without cracking.

Wheel Nut indicators are applied pointing in a uniform clockwise direction after ensuring proper wheel torque (apply with "lip" toward wheel) An indicator will rotate counter-clockwise if wheel nut loses torque. Provides a visual commitment to safety to the public and to transportation authorities. Drivers, mechanics or inspectors can confirm proper wheel torque or identify bearing or brake overheating problems at a glance. Reduces costly wheel stud wear and breakage due to continuous re-torquing (stud manufacturers recommend stud replacement after 3 torques.) Costs only a few dollars per wheel and pays for itself if just one re-torque is avoided. Reusable on replacement wheels.

Wheel Checks

High temperature wheel checks are available for application where heavy load vehicles stop frequently and will heat up the wheel to greater that 250° F in normal operation. For example this situation occurs with some transit bus fleets. The solution is High Temperature Wheel Checks with a maximum temperature rating of 450° F. The part numbering is similar to normal wheel check with the “WCH” follow by the letter “T” and then the numeric sizing. An example of a high temperature check part “WCHT03”
