Truck Tire Skid Indicator!

If your talking about the plastic arrow things on the wheel nuts that point to each other.. Those are not to see a rotating tire.. They are a indicator to show you if your wheel nut is loose or not.. If the arrow (there are other kinds as well) points to the hub it means you have a really loose lug nut.... We have them on our trailers cause of some mistakes some employees have made in the past so they made it idiot proof (along with putting grease in the hubs now rather then oil cause of lazy workers not looking into the hub for oil)...

If your not talking about those.. Then I dunno what your talking about... I am in Toronto all day long so as you can image I see a BIG majority of truck traffic.. I never have seen a company with these "rolling indicators" but I have seen lots of the with the lug nut indicators tho

 

No its just a single plastic strap mounted to one lug on each set of trailer wheels, it hangs out past the rim so you can see if each wheel is rotating. I'll snap a pic of mine tomorrow, i cant seem to recall the actual name of them. But virtually any trailer see travelling the highways come winter time has them mounted.

 

My work has those^

 

I believe he was refering to my post when talking about the lug indicators.

I've attached what we use around here...

 

For......?

 

Do your trucks not have work lights installed? All it takes to see the straps at night is a flick of a switch and turn your truck side to side before you leave the yard/truck stop. If your drivers cant figure that one out then god help the motoring public.
