Miscellaneous Vehicles
Built for Every Vehicle Type
Companies using heavy-duty vehicles, fire, medical and rescue vehicles, medium-sized van and pickup-truck utility vehicles in the mining, landscaping, delivery, emergency and other sectors are finding out how easy it is to use a secondary safety device, Zafety Lug Lock®, on their wheel nuts and the business advantage it brings.
Designed specifically to address the stresses of stop-and-go vehicles and heavy-use work vehicles — companies use Zafety Lug Lock® to keep the public safe and their trucks in service by lowering the risk of wheel-offs and minimizing the risk of wheel-end damage from loose wheel nuts.
Especially in the cases of part-time or temporary drivers, the Zafety Lug Lock® visibility and easy-to-understand application supports training and use. Mining vehicles running 24/7 over rough terrain have particular considerations where preventative safety is a key business decision. Landscaping vehicles hauling loads on single-axle trailers and the constant stop-and-go of curbside delivery vehicles also create conditions where nut loosening can become a problem.

Why Loose Lug Nuts Happen
Loose lug nuts occur due to vibration of the wheel and expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, especially in situations where differing materials are in use (specifically aluminum rims and steel lug nuts and studs).
Once one nut has loosened even slightly it amplifies the problem and other nuts will begin to loosen at a faster rate, ultimately leading to a potential wheel-off. If the wheel and lug nuts have been properly installed and torqued as per the manufacturer's instructions, the secondary application of Zafety Lug Lock® stops the loosening process from beginning.
