摘要：	Because of its potentially harmful and sometimes destructive outcome, wheel loss on commercial vehicles is an ongoing problem. Wheels coming loose from a vehicle or coming off altogether causing an accident has sparked much discussion about the main causes of wheel loss and what can be done to prevent it. John Eastman, IRTE Council Chairman, knows that there are so many potential hazards when fitting a wheel that technicians can easily become unsure of what exactly is considered best practice. Quite often it is a matter of compatibility, and with so many types of wheels now on the market, new and used, technicians are more wary of the damage that can be done if the wrong fittings are used. The updated IRTE wheel security guide aims to give those operators guidance, and the tyre technicians fitting the wheels comprehensive instruction to better prepare them for this critical role. John said: "The biggest problem is when people don't follow the process. What you cannot do is fit any wheel to any vehicle, or the hub, because there are so many different types of fitting out there. If you put the wrong fittings on with the wrong wheel, or the wrong fittings or nuts, then you're inviting trouble."
