Why tyre safety should be a top priority for fleet operators<\/h2>\n

Tyres, wheels, and hubs are among the most overlooked yet critical components of commercial vehicles. Failures in these areas can result in catastrophic damage, road closures, and loss of life. But they\u2019re also preventable.<\/p>\n

In the latest FORS webinar, tyre safety experts from Wheely-Safe joined forces with FORS Director Geraint Davies to explore how modern fleets can eliminate risk through proactive, connected safety systems. Catch-up on the webinar here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Understanding the risk<\/h2>\n

Wheel loss and hub fires are not rare. They happen more often than reported, often due to:
\n– Torque wrenches going out of calibration
\n– Poorly maintained bearings and brake systems
\n– Incomplete or missed daily walkaround checks
\n– Heat stress, terrain fatigue, and environmental conditions<\/p>\n

Even the best-run fleets are vulnerable. As Davies shared, his former 100-vehicle operation suffered a devastating hub fire, despite in-house maintenance, OEM parts, and full compliance.<\/p>\n

The Wheely-Safe solution<\/h2>\n

Wheely-Safe offers the world\u2019s first systems that provide real-time alerts for:
\n– Wheel loss or loosening
\n– Brake and hub temperature spikes
\n– Tyre pressure drops (TPMS)<\/p>\n

With DVSA accreditation and ADR certification, Wheely-Safe\u2019s tech is now globally approved, including by the Japanese government. The system includes:
\n– In-cab driver alerts and real-time data updates every 30 mins
\n– Fleet-wide dashboards and email\/SMS alerts
\n– Remote reporting and walkaround check verification
\n– Plug-and-play sensors with custom thresholds<\/p>\n

The commercial benefits<\/h2>\n

Beyond compliance and safety, these systems deliver measurable ROI:
\n– Reduced breakdown costs
\n– Fewer roadside prohibitions
\n– Longer tyre life
\n– Improved fuel efficiency
\n– Evidence to support audits and incident investigations<\/p>\n

Installation is fast, often under 2 hours per vehicle, and scalable across fleets, including in high-risk terrain such as rural UK or Australia\u2019s Outback.<\/p>\n

Built by fleet people, for fleet people<\/h2>\n

Wheely-Safe\u2019s team brings deep transport experience, ensuring every solution is simple to use, easy to integrate, and designed with operators in mind. Whether you\u2019re using your own telematics system or need a standalone dashboard, Wheely-Safe can support both.
