It is recognised by the industry that the incidence and possibility of wheel nut loosening is at its greatest immediately after a tyre has been replaced or a wheel has been changed.

The incorporation of Checkpoint gives an immediate on the road warning of a loose wheel nut and identifies the wheel requiring attention.

Additional spin off benefits using Checkpoint arise from the products’ heat sensitivity, excess heat build up, for example, from a binding brake, bad driving habits, or worn bearings will be indicated by the Checkpoint distorting. Checkpoints begin to melt at 120°C.

Further substantial budget cost savings are available to fleet management with the fitting of Checkpoint. On average a torque check will take 20-30 minutes of workshop time. The fitting of Checkpoint eliminates unnecessary scheduled re-torquing, where fleet management has the daily "walk round" check procedure in place. Re-torquing the wheel nuts too often can lead to elongation of the stud, which can cause the nut to bottom on the thread giving false torque readings.
