Heat Failure Warning System - Melts at precisely 125°C (257°F) to indicate potential brake or bearing problems before catastrophic failure, giving drivers time to address overheating issues safely.
Extended Reach Design - Engineered for wheels with trims and step rings where standard indicators won't fit, ensuring compatibility with modern commercial vehicle configurations.

  • Commercial trucks and trailers with stepped wheel designs.

For maximum effectiveness, check indicator alignment during pre-trip inspections and after long hauls or high-stress driving conditions where wheel nuts are most likely to work loose.
