These type in the photo are the best ones. If they dont align then the amber beacon on the cab roof starts flashing - very intelligent system :bulb:

I must wake up moreā€¦For the moment I thought itā€™s said ā€œorganā€ on the cab door

Iā€™ve always wondered what these were for. What are the luminous little bits on the actual alloy of the lorry? Whatā€™s their purpose?

Oran are based in kincardine and they are all ball bags

chaversdad:
what you shouldnt do is park up next to your mate and then turn a couple of his little green arrows round the other way, i do feel slightly guilty though at 5am on a wet morning when he,s stood there in the rain bouncing on his scaffy bar as i pull up in the car :laughing:

They are for popping car drivers tyres when they wonā€™t move over. Or as Jeremy thought, stopping car crims !

Our trucks have all been fitted with safetytrims on the wheels. These nifty trims indicate and lock a loose wheel nut. When I do my walk-round the only thing I have to look out for is whether or not a yellow indicator tab has appeared in the window on the trim. The good thing is that if a wheel nut works its way loose during driving, the Safetytrims will catch it, indicate and lock it in place so it cannot back off completely. They work really wellā€¦
Apparently the company that supply them have now decided to buy all the yellow Checkpoint indicators from operators that want to change to their Safetytrims.
