The Devastating Impact of Wheel Detachment 🚨 ❓ We go on and on about wheel safety, but what actually happens when an HGV wheel falls off? A detached wheel can reach speeds of up to 93mph and strike with a force of 10 tonnes—that’s the equivalent of 27,500 bricks. The consequences? Fatal accidents, severe injuries, and irreversible damage. It’s not just a potential accident; it’s a deadly scenario waiting to unfold: 🚚 A wheel detaching at high speed can kill or seriously injure anyone in its path. 🚚 Even if no one is harmed, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. 🚚 Legal and financial consequences can follow, with criminal charges, fines, and reputational damage to the company. The real cost of negligence is far greater than any fine or repair bill. At Parma Group, we provide solutions to prevent these catastrophic events, including: 🌟Wheel Nut Locks (such as Prolock & Zafety Lug Lock) to prevent nut movement. 🌟Wheel Nut Indicators for visible checks 🌟Hot Spot Markers to detect overheating and prevent failure By taking proactive steps, we can stop these worst-case scenarios before they happen. Let’s ensure every journey is as safe as possible. #FleetSafety #RoadSafety #ParmaGroup #WheelDetachment #Prevention #RiskManagement
