How to Choose Vehicle Safety

01
CHOOSE THE RIGHT WHEEL CHOCKS
Rubberised chocks are rated 5t to 10t and suit standard commercial vehicles. PU chocks are available in 5t to 6t and 20t ratings for heavier plant and fleet vehicles.
02
SELECT YOUR WHEEL NUT SIZE
Wheel nut indicators are available in ring and cap styles from 19mm to 41mm. Measure your wheel nuts with callipers before ordering to ensure correct fit and reliable loosening detection.
03
CHOOSE THE RIGHT LOAD FLAG
The 300mm long load flag suits loads extending past the rear of the vehicle. The 450mm oversized load flag suits wider or larger loads. Check local transport regulations for specific requirements.
04
CONFIRM WHS COMPLIANCE
Wheel chocks are required under Australian WHS legislation when parking vehicles on grades or during loading and unloading. Wheel nut indicators support heavy vehicle maintenance obligations.

Frequently asked questions
What vehicle safety products does Brute Safety Products supply?

We supply a range of vehicle safety products for Australian worksites and transport operations. The range includes rubberised wheel chocks rated to 5t to 10t supplied in pairs, PU wheel chocks rated to either 5t to 6t or 20t supplied in pairs, ring style and cap style wheel nut indicators in sizes from 19mm to 41mm supplied in bags of 100, long load flags in neon orange (300 x 300mm) and oversized load flags in red and yellow (450 x 450mm). All products are designed to support vehicle safety compliance on Australian construction, mining, civil, and transport operations.
What are wheel nut indicators and are they a legal requirement in Australia?

Wheel nut indicators are small coloured plastic devices fitted over wheel nuts on commercial vehicles, trailers, and heavy plant. They are aligned when first installed, and if a wheel nut begins to loosen during operation the indicator rotates out of alignment, providing a clear and immediate visual warning during walkaround inspections. Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and associated Chain of Responsibility requirements, operators of heavy vehicles have a duty to ensure vehicles are roadworthy and properly maintained. While wheel nut indicators are not explicitly mandated by name in every jurisdiction, they are widely recognised as a best practice preventive measure for heavy vehicle fleets and are commonly required by mining and civil site operators as part of their vehicle management systems. We stock ring style indicators in 19mm, 21mm, 32mm, 33mm, and 41mm, and cap style in 19mm and 21mm, all supplied in bags of 100.
What is the difference between ring style and cap style wheel nut indicators?

Both ring style and cap style wheel nut indicators serve the same purpose of providing a visual alert when a wheel nut loosens, but they differ in how they sit on the nut. Ring style indicators fit around the outside of the wheel nut and are generally easier to install and remove, making them a practical choice for vehicles where nuts are inspected and serviced frequently. Cap style indicators fit over the top of the nut like a cap, enclosing it more fully. This can offer slightly better protection of the nut head in harsh or high contamination environments such as mining or quarrying. Both styles are available in the same sizes and are sold in bags of 100. The right choice often comes down to the vehicle type, environment, and the preference of your fleet or maintenance team.
When are load flags required on vehicles in Australia, and which flag do I need?

Load flags are required when a load extends beyond the standard permissible dimensions of a vehicle under Australian road transport rules. The specific thresholds at which flags, signs, or pilot vehicles become mandatory vary between states and territories and are set out under each jurisdiction's heavy vehicle transport legislation. As a general guide, loads extending more than 150mm beyond the rear of the vehicle require a flag or marker. A long load flag in neon orange (300 x 300mm) is typically used to mark loads extending beyond the rear length of the vehicle. An oversized load flag in red and yellow (450 x 450mm) is used for loads that exceed standard width or height limits and are classified as oversize under state regulations. We recommend confirming the specific requirements with the relevant transport authority or your transport manager for your state before each trip.

Built for safer workplaces

This range covers the accessories that support vehicle and load safety on Australian worksites and transport operations. Wheel chocks come in rubberised (5t to 10t) and PU (5t to 6t or 20t) options, supplied in pairs, for preventing vehicle movement during loading or maintenance. Wheel nut indicators in ring and cap styles, sized from 19mm to 41mm, give a quick visual check for loosening nuts during pre-trip inspections. Long load flags (300 x 300mm, neon orange) and oversized load flags (450 x 450mm, red and yellow) mark protruding cargo to meet road transport load safety requirements, with the long load flag's polyester mesh construction allowing airflow to reduce drag at highway speed.

Together, these accessories support the walkaround and load checks that sit alongside a vehicle's pre-start documentation, covering the load, the wheels and the points of vehicle contact with the ground in one category. Elastic loops and metal eyelets on the load flags allow fast deployment and removal without tools, which matters when a load configuration changes several times across a shift.
