Nemesis Plus Wheel Lock
Common issues with traditional wheel clamps are the long installation time, the impractical size and weight of the clamp that hinders efficient storage and installation and undoubtedly having weak points or using cheap materials and construction that compromise security. Conscious of these factors, Nemesis Plus enables quick fitting of the wheel lock under a targeted 10 seconds while reducing clunkiness and maximising the overall strength and security of the wheel lock.
Utilising a bespoke receiver wheel bolt, the Nemesis Plus wheel lock for mobile homes secures itself to a vast range of wheel profiles and prevents rotation using its steel wheel bar and centre pin. With a user-centric philosophy, the design of Nemesis Plus is focused around functionality during both installation and operation. The resulting ‘tear drop’ form allows for optimum security whilst keeping the weight and scale to a minimum so that it is easy to manoeuvre and store.
Alongside various titanium elements, a hardened steel construction was selected to optimise strength and durability, whilst the luminous orange finish enables the lock to also work as a visual deterrent. During operation, wheel locking is a three-pronged approach. Initially the device locks to a bespoke wheel bolt. Wheel rotation is then prevented by the centre pin and wheel bar which create three points of contact. When rotating, the centre pin restricts movement in context of the wheel, with the wheel bar in a position that will then collide with either the floor or vehicle chassis.
