The primary functions of Dustite LR are to:

  • Provide a clear visual indication of nut movement, particularly useful and applicable for commercial vehicle wheels even where an obstructive wheel trim exists
  • Provide an indication of wheel overheating which is otherwise difficult to detect, usually as a result of brakes sticking or problems with the bearings, through the use of specific product material melting points (Standard and High Temperature options available)
  • Provide a clear visual commitment to roadworthiness and professionalism to other road users, customers, health and safety, road and transportation associations
  • Prolong the service life of studs & nuts, through protection from corrosion, weathering and damage.

Primary Benefits

Fitting

Recommended Fitting

Dustites LR is designed to be fitted on wheels with trims/step rings since the pointer, located at the tip of the product, allows for it to fit through the access hole on a trim/step ring. Where a trim/step ring is not fitted to the wheel, Dustite or Checkpoint indicators must be used. Dustite LR is fitted onto the wheel nuts in a recognisable pattern once the nuts have been tightened to the manufacturers recommendations using a suitable torque wrench. This must be monitored closely through routine walk around checks, so that if any of the indicators move from the initial pattern appropriate action can be taken.
