Wheely-Safe Heavy is the world’s first in-motion driver alert system to detect the onset of wheel loss before detachment. It also incorporates a full Tyre Pressure Management System (TPMS), together with brake and hub overheat early-warnings, thanks to our unique and patented technology.
Designed for fitment to buses, coaches, trucks, trailers and heavy plant, our product is truly SMART:
Wheely-Safe Heavy takes a fresh approach to tackling wheel loss, compared with systems such as simple indicator tags, more complex full rim indicators and special wheel lock nut systems. Given these solutions have not eradicated the issue of wheel loss from the industry, we focused on developing a technology which detects the in-motion onset of wheel loss prior to detachment.
Our solution is miniature and robust, providing an in-motion alert to the driver after approximately one turn of adjacent wheel nuts (1mm of movement). It straddles two wheel nuts and is held in place with a bracket. When the wheel nuts start to work loose, the switch opens, and a radio frequency alert is immediately sent to the display unit in the cab, warning the driver of imminent danger. It can also be linked with telematics systems to provide alerts to the transport office or workshop team as soon as a loosening wheel is detected.
The wheel loss sensor comprises a fully sealed electronic/radio unit and a sealed switch coupled with a plated mild steel bracket (zinc nickel coated for maximum corrosion resistance). Alloy wheel rims can be accommodated also with prior notification. We recommend fitting two sensors to each axle end, and for balance, fitting them opposite each other.
Wheely-Safe Heavy also communicates with a receiver in the cab in the same way that traditional TPMS’ connect, so we’ve combined these functions to deliver a fully integrated in-motion driver alert package consisting of a TPMS, patented wheel loss system and brake/hub temperature alert system too.
Wheely-Safe Heavy has been developed in close consultation with specialists ranging from large global vehicle manufacturers to a number of major transport groups. These development partners have been invaluable in providing feedback for all the varying installation and application needs.

FAQS
This is dependent on how many tyres and axles are to be protected. As with the Wheely-Safe Light system, the components are very easy to fit and no programming is required.
Wheely-Safe Heavy comes with a 12-month warranty, effective from the date of purchase.

We would recommend fitting the Wheely-Safe Light system.
It is compatible with all telematics systems.
Each wheel and valve sensor has a built-in battery projected to last 3-5 years, depending on vehicle use and applications. An accelerometer in each sensor allows it to go into low power mode when stationary for a period – for maximum battery conservation.
The pressure checker requires a pair of AAA batteries (supplied).
Quite simply, you don’t. We’ve designed our TPMS sensors to automatically calibrate to your tyre pressures when first installed – and they are designed to handle different pressures on different axles. This is unique to our system, avoiding the need for bulky, monitor-style receivers with fiddly buttons. Simply ensure your tyres are correctly inflated before installation when the tyres are cold.
Up to 50 tyres can be monitored on a journey, making it perfect for operation with trailers. The system automatically stores up to two weeks of tyre and wheel incidents, including the 50 most recently paired TPMS sensors and 50 wheel sensors.
Additional sensors can be purchased at any time.
