Wheely-Safe helps Brake boost road safety
Wheel and tyre safety technology provider Wheely-Safe has been collaborating with industry charity Brake, having pledged to make a cash donation for every van, bus, coach or truck which displays a ‘Wheely-Safe fitted’ vinyl graphic.
Wheely-Safe has been gifting £5 for every light commercial vehicle (LCV) and £10 for every heavy goods vehicle (HGV) or public service vehicle (PSV) carrying the sticker, which it is supplying with all new systems.
Steve Jackson, managing director of Wheely-Safe, said: “A customer asked us about supplying a vinyl for their vehicles after we’d finished an installation. We loved the idea, but we decided to link it with a commitment to a charitable donation.”
Joshua Harris, director of campaigns at Brake, added: “This is a fantastic initiative from Wheely-Safe, promoting the importance of tyre safety while helping Brake support crash victims and campaign for safer roads. Properly maintained vehicles are absolutely vital for safe roads so we’re delighted to be working with Wheely-Safe who are pioneers in tyre safety.”
Wheely-Safe’s products are designed to protect fleets against the risk and financial cost of wheel loss, brake and hub overheating, and tyre under-inflation.
The company says its technology is fully customisable, allowing operators to pick the right level of protection for their fleet.
Firms can opt for a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), said to be robust and easy to fit, or upgrade with a patented wheel security device, which includes brake and hub temperature monitoring. Systems can be supplied as standalone kits, or fully telematics-ready versions.
