Safety should be the be-all and end-all on our roads. Auger Autotechnik GmbH has two small products in its range that provide considerably more safety for little money: Wheel nut indicators and wheel locks.

Wheel nut indicators that show at a glance when a wheel nut has twisted are no longer a new invention. Auger also offers them in a wide variety of designs. A new development, however, are the company's so-called dust cap indicators. Their advantage: they are very easy to fit. The dust cap indicator consists of the dust cap for the wheel nut and a ring with a pointer that is attached at the top and can be rotated with fine locking points. With the pointer turned towards the wheel hub or arrow to arrow, it is thus possible to see when the wheel nut has come loose. The dust cap itself covers the wheel nut. Filled with a little grease, it prevents unnecessary corrosion.

Those who do not like bright colours on the wheels of their commercial vehicle can also get the dust cap indicators in more discreet colours. Auger lists a total of 147 references for the various wheel nut indicators. The usual spanner sizes for Germany are 32 or 33, but all spanner sizes between 17 and 43 are available.

Just like the dust cap indicators, the self-developed escapement shoes also come from Auger's own production. The brake pads are made of highly durable plastic that neither fades nor hardens when exposed to UV light. Both the normal version and the heavy-duty version are additionally equipped with a metal anti-slip device on the underside to prevent slipping. Auger supplies metal brackets for secure attachment to the vehicle.
