Deflecktor has updated its Hardspot aerodynamic wheel cover by with a new locking wheel cover feature. The locking Hardspot cover users a keyed mechanism with an intuitive, positive-feedback loop that confirms security upon locking, says the company.

“Fear of theft has been a buying roadblock for potential customers, and a locking cover offers peace of mind for those whose truck and trailer assets go unattended for extended periods of time,” says Jonathan Fleck, Deflecktor resident and founder.

The trailer mounting system comes pre-assembled for easy initial installation and uses the same Hardspot cover as the tractor mounting system.
