Krueger Transport Equipment has been a cornerstone of the Australian transport industry for over 46 years, earning a reputation for manufacturing high-quality semi-trailers that prioritise safety and durability. Known for a commitment to innovation and reliability, Krueger annually produces around 650 trailers from its manufacturing site in Truganina, Melbourne, with additional operations in Brisbane and Sydney. The company’s extensive product lineup includes custom-built trailers ranging from standard curtain-siders to refrigerated trailers and drop decks.

The Challenge: Prioritising Safety in Heavy Vehicle Operations

In an industry where both the safety of the public and operational reliability are paramount, Krueger sought solutions that would enhance their safety standards, particularly in wheel safety. Given the rigorous demands placed on their trailers, Krueger required a robust and dependable wheel safety solution to ensure wheel security across their fleet and that of their clients. This focus was crucial to maintain Krueger’s high-quality standards and prevent wheel-related incidents that could lead to costly downtime or accidents.

The Solution: Redcat LugLinx Wheel Safety Products

To address these challenges, Krueger integrated Redcat’s LugLinx wheel safety indicators as a standard offering across their trailer range. Redcat, established as a leading manufacturer of wheel safety products, designed the LugLinx to enhance wheel security by providing visual indication of potential issues such as loosening wheel nuts, helping prevent loss and failure. Redcat’s innovative LugLinx system enables Krueger to improve their maintenance processes and provide added peace of mind for both their team and customers.

Redcat’s LugLinx products are key to that process.”

Through this integration, Krueger has successfully bolstered their safety protocols, ensuring that trailers are equipped to prevent potential issues with wheel integrity. The LugLinx product helps Krueger meet their rigorous standards and aligns with their reputation as a safety leader in the transport sector.
