Wheel theft increasing Russell Fowler of TruckProtect says more fleets are trying to safeguard their vehicles against wheel theft. He's seen enquiries for the firm's innovative Wheel Stop-It! anti-theft wheel nut surge recently. The coded nut can't be removed by anything other than the fastener socket which bears the matching code.. "No two are ever the same," says Fowler. "The device is suitable for bolts or wheel studs, and for either steel or aluminium rims.." It can be used on a wide range of vehicles, including trucks, trailers, farming implements, forklift trucks and mining industry vehicles. "And for all too many of these, wheel theft seems to be a growing problem." |
