Additional safety for cyclists and pedestrians
The Wheel Sentry Reflector Indicators are a brand new innovation from ATE to the Wheel Sentry product range.
It is an essential part of your safety program, particularly in supporting the drive to reduce cyclist accidents in London.
The Reflective indicator
- This is designed for additional safety for cyclists in traffic – specifically in the blind spots of the HGVs.
- We have used a retro-reflection material of the top, such that the backlight is intense, specifically if the cap fitted on a wheel is rotating towards the traffic.
- The steering axle/wheels is the initial tangible movement of the vehicle starting to turn, and a signal provided from these wheels would therefore be the first signal to provide to the traffic alongside it, giving the upmost time to act as shown below.
We are fully aware this will not take out all the blind spot accidents, but are certain it can reduce the amount and the seriousness of the accidents.
“When I first met the guys at the wheel Sentry I was surprised at how easily the product worked. It brought a new dimension to wheel nut safety and inspections, the indicators being held in place with the band provides an easy application after the wheels have been changed by our work shop, holding all indicators together. Along with the added bonus of when wheel nuts are checked on a daily bases it gives the drivers an indication of any movement with the band holding the nut in place and preventing the nut coming off. This is a great product for our business and in wheel safety.”

8 年Is this as well as missing all of the blind spot, do not pass on this side stickers and talking indicators. I think cyclists should all ride around with a pole and large flag on their bikes to help them be seen!!
