In-motion wheel loss detection

Wheely-Safe was founded as a business to solve the frightening issue of wheel loss from commercial vehicles once and for all; and for assets with our system fitted, it’s safe to say that’s mission accomplished.

Our sensor technology ensures a driver receives an alert the instant a loosening wheel nut is detected – no matter what speed they are travelling, or in what weather conditions – allowing them to bring the vehicle safely to a halt.

We currently offer Wheely-Safe wheel loss sensors to fit almost every size wheel found on a bus, coach, truck or trailer (PSV / HGV), from 17.5” to 22.5”, including those with six, eight and 10-stud fixings. Plus, our range is expanding all the time.

How do our wheel loss sensors work?

Wheely-Safe acts as a final control measure for commercial vehicle fleets, bringing a new level of wheel security to their operations for maximum peace of mind.

1. Smart sensor technology

Robust sensors fit into a bracket that straddles two wheel nuts

2. Maximum protection

A pair of brackets are fitted per outer wheel

3. Early warning system

If a nut starts to loosen, a warning is instantly transmitted to an in-cab receiver

4. Wheel loss prevented

This allows the driver to pull over safely, before a wheel loss incident occurs

Unrivalled fleet protection

Our detection system is unlike anything else on the market and is revolutionising how the commercial vehicle industry protects itself against the dangers of wheel loss, whether due to human or mechanical error.

And unlike brightly coloured indicator tags already on the market, which can only highlight potential wheel loss situations on stationary vehicles, Wheely-Safe provides proactive alerts to loosening wheel nuts as the vehicle is in motion.

Brake & hub temperature monitoring

When designing our wheel loss sensors, their position next to the brakes and hub made them perfectly placed for monitoring temperatures too, so we added this functionality as standard.

It means any Wheely-Safe customer specifying our wheel loss system will also receive warnings for brake and hub overheating – protecting their fleets from one of the most common causes of commercial vehicle fires. Plus, the system can be used to detect brakes which aren’t functioning on individual wheels, by monitoring temperature fluctuations during a journey.

How do we monitor temperatures around the brakes and hub?

Whether spotting unusually high temperatures which could trigger a blaze, or brakes recording little to no temperature increase at all during a journey – these are all things a driver needs to know. With Wheely-Safe fitted, we’ve got your back:

1. Keeping temperatures in check

If a sensor detects a temperature exceeding 100°C, an alert is sent to the in-cab receiver

2. Instant driver alerts

High temperatures can indicate maintenance issues such as sticking brakes or hub failure

3. Supporting walkaround inspections

Technicians and drivers can also check the highest and lowest temperatures recorded by each sensor in the last 24 hours, using our Pressure and Brake Temperature Checker

4. Detecting faulty brakes

Little or no temperature rise can indicate a braking system which isn’t working as intended

Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

All tyres will naturally leak air over time, but with Wheely-Safe maintaining a constant eye on your pressures, keeping your tyres inflated to the correct level has never been simpler. You’ll receive a proactive maintenance alert when a tyre needs topping up with air – helping you to maximise fuel efficiency, optimise tyre life and increase road safety.

After all, nearly one third of roadside breakdowns are due to tyre incidents, and research shows that 90% of those are pressure related. Becoming part of that statistic is easily avoidable using our smart technology to keep your pressures in check.

How does our TPMS work?

Our light vehicle TPMS sensors, typically for cars, SUVs, vans and minibuses, can monitor tyre pressures up to 87 psi. Larger vehicles can take advantage of our heavy vehicle TPMS sensors, which are suitable for inflation pressures of up to 188 psi – making them perfect for any bus, coach, truck or trailer.

1. Easy-fit TPMS

External TPMS sensors replace the valve cap & pair automatically with the in-cab receiver

2. Proactive maintenance

Amber ‘maintenance’ alerts recommend top-ups if any tyre drop in pressure by 15% to 25%

3. Puncture early-warnings

Red ‘critical’ alerts warn if any tyre drops in pressure drop by 25% or more, or in the event fast leakage

4. Prevent blowouts

Red ‘critical’ alerts also warn if the temperature inside any tyre exceeds 100°C – often the sign of an impending blowout

Reduce fuel, tyre and running costs

Put simply, with our advanced TPMS installed across your fleet, you can’t help but operate your fleet more efficiently – extending tyre life and enhancing fuel efficiency. That’s great for your bottom line, but it also helps to all but eliminate tyre-related downtime, and the associated costs and business disruption such instances bring. Plus it’s great for your fleet sustainability goals too.

Introducing our accessories

Select from a range of accessories to complement your Wheely-Safe system, including:

Pressure and Brake Temperature Checker

WalkAround Checker

Signal boosters

Replacement TPMS & wheel loss sensors

Pressure and Brake Temperature Checker

This handheld tool is the perfect way to speed up fleet inspections for workshop technicians or drivers, providing access to accurate tyre pressure readings in either Bar or PSI when held next to any Wheely-Safe TPMS sensor. All this, without the hassle of connecting a pressure gauge to the valve, which removes air and is unhygienic – speeding up the time taken to conduct fleet checks and safety inspections.

Plus, you can monitor the highest and lowest brake/hub temperatures recorded in the last 24 hours, when held against any brake temperature sensor.

WalkAround Checker

Our keyring-mounted WalkAround Checker is designed to support a driver’s daily inspections. They take pressure readings from any Wheely-Safe sensor, providing an immediate green, amber or red alert, to advise the driver whether a tyre is correctly inflated, in need of a top-up at the next workshop visit, or unsafe to operate in the current condition. They also record the walkaround activity to ensure this vital activity occurs regularly.

They also monitor our brake/hub temperature sensors, alerting the driver if abnormally high temperatures have been recorded in the last 24 hours.

Signal boosters

For longer vehicles, we offer both wired and battery-powered dipole antenna boosters, for excellent receipt and amplification of the signals from sensors on the rearmost axles to ensure the receiver in the cab never misses a transmission. When discussing your requirements, we can advise if a booster might be needed. The battery-powered booster has a battery life of up to five years, dependant on the application.

Replacement TPMS & wheel loss sensors

Additional sensors can be purchased at any time to support the running of your fleet, such as in the event of a vehicle being involved in an incident. And because Wheely-Safe features auto-pairing as standard, just fit the new sensor in position, and it will automatically be picked up by the receiver. It really is as simple as that!
