Safetytrim is a retro-fit wheel nut securing mechanism providing a visual alert to operators if the nuts are backing off. The mechanical device holds the nut within a nut pot cover which itself is contained within a housing ring. If clamp pressure is lost, the nut is free to move as the nut pot cover can rotate inside the ring, and in so doing, the base arm which is fixed to the nut pot cover moves to the alert position. A florescent marker can then be seen by anyone viewing the wheel. The arm is stopped from moving further by an outer retention wall and this prevents the nut moving further than one sixth of a turn. A nut cannot be lost and wheels are prevented from coming adrift.
