Never miss a re-torque. VAPTA creates re-torque checks automatically after wheel removal, tracks them by distance or time, and records every torque value against the vehicle.
After a wheel is removed and refitted, wheel fixings can settle and lose clamping force. That is why vehicle and wheel manufacturers require the fixings to be re-checked to the correct torque after a set distance or time.
DVSA expects operators to have a system that makes sure re-torques happen and are recorded. Paper tags and whiteboards rely on someone remembering. VAPTA turns every wheel removal into a tracked task with a clear owner, due point and record of completion.
When a workshop job or tyre fitting involves removing a wheel, a re-torque check is created against the vehicle and wheel position automatically.
Set re-torque intervals by miles, kilometres or hours to match the vehicle or wheel manufacturer's instructions.
Record which wheels were removed and refitted, with torque values captured for each wheel position.
Log the torque wrench used and its calibration date, so every re-torque can be traced back to calibrated equipment.
Re-torques can be completed by a technician in the workshop, a mobile fitter, or a trained driver through the VAPTA driver app.
Transport and workshop teams are alerted when a re-torque is due or overdue, so no vehicle slips through.
Capture photos of wheel nut indicators and sign off each check digitally.
Re-torques carried out by tyre companies and mobile repairers can be recorded against the same vehicle history.
See every wheel removal, re-torque due and completed check in one report, ready for DVSA and customer audits.
Re-torque checks sit alongside the job card, PMI inspection, driver defects and tyre work for each vehicle, so everyone sees the same history.
