Safety Wheel Nut DISC-LOCK from Disc-Lock International

The DISC-LOCK Safety Wheel Nut is a free spinning, vibration proof wheel nut, specifically designed to prevent wheel loss from commercial vehicles and is used in hub-piloted wheel systems.

Wheel separations from trucks, trailers and buses have become a serious problem worldwide, causing accidents and fatalities. A study administered by National Safety Transportation Board (NTSB) cites loose wheel nuts as one of the leading causes of wheel separations on medium and heavy vehicles. The DISC-LOCK Safety Wheel Nut is now recognized as the "Most important innovation in wheel nut technology since the 1930's."

The distinguishing technological innovation of the DISC-LOCK fastening systems that set them apart from traditional fasteners, revolves around the patented cam-action of the DISC-LOCK nut.

If only one accident or fatality from wheel loss is prevented yearly by a DISC-LOCK Safety Wheel Nut, then it follows that many more wheel off accidents world-wide can be eliminated -- these wheel loss accidents are more common than most people think.
