Business Lines Ltd is the inventor and world leader in the sales and development of loose wheelnut indicator products. See www.checkpoint-safety.com .Our Checkpoint, Checklink and Dustite products are now the standard fit on all major truck and bus fleets throughout the UK, adding an additional safety benefit to fleets whether they are carrying petrol, potatoes or people! These indicator products make the prospect of a loosening wheelnut, a visible entity (a pointer out of line) which can be noted on simple inspection by the driver or fleet maintenance personnel, and the problem can then be easily rectified by retorquing to manufacturer's specification. Additionally, if the indicator distorts or melts, this can be indicative of wheel bearing failure or of binding brakes, which create excessive heat within the wheel. Greatly excessive heat build up can ultimately lead to the onset of irreversible tyre damage or even fire.

Export sales, currently running at 25% of total sales, are to all Europe, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, North and South America, Japan and the Far East, and the Middle East.

These indicator products have shown themselves to be a proven additional safety benefit to all fleets looking to increase the safety of their vehicles, their drivers and the public, by reducing the incidence of loose wheel nuts.
