Putting product training and wheel safety first

CARNFORTH, U.K. - April 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Reducing the risk of wheel damage, loss and detachment is at the core of the ongoing commercial vehicle customer service programme from Checkpoint® The Company view wheel fixing maintenance as an important part of any maintenance schedule and product application is always developed with this in mind.

“A promise to protect with simple solutions” is a guiding philosophy for the organisation. Training days, workshops and presentations provide operations, maintenance and driving personnel with the opportunity to develop product knowledge and application as part of their routine wheel maintenance.

Some of the Checkpoint overriding messages are that maintenance isn’t a costly nuisance and loss of wheels, are not a mystery! “Our range of wheel safety products” said Mike Marczynski, Checkpoint MD “can and will improve the safety and security of wheels”

*Checkpoint® is the leading global manufacturer and developer of the original wheel nut indicator. They have championed safety and protection for over 25 years working with both the FTA and RHA as well as raising the profile of safety on our roads in the UK with the Brake road safety charity

According to *VOSA/TRL, these simple solutions could benefit the industry by helping to eliminate wheel detachment and generate a cost benefit of between £5.8m -£13.9m annually.

Checkpoint® will be exhibiting at the Commercial Vehicle Show, April 29th-May 1st NEC Birmingham, Hall 4 Stand K62
