Hjullås

Hjullås, also known as wheel lock or wheel clamp, is a device used to prevent the movement of vehicles by immobilizing one or more wheels. It is commonly employed by authorities, parking enforcement agencies, and private property owners to enforce parking regulations or to prevent theft.

The device typically consists of a metal framework that fits around the wheel, featuring a lock mechanism that secures the clamp in place. Once attached, it blocks the wheel from rotating, rendering the vehicle immobile until the lock is removed. Hjullås can be used on various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

Hjullås serves as a non-destructive alternative to towing in situations where a vehicle is parked illegally or against regulations. It allows for quick and effective immobilization without the need for vehicle removal from the site. However, the use of hjullås is subject to legal regulations, which vary by jurisdiction. Unauthorized removal of a wheel lock can result in legal penalties.

The device is often marked with warning signs to inform vehicle owners of the immobilization to encourage compliance and resolution. In many cases, vehicle owners are required to pay a fee or penalty to have the lock removed, and some jurisdictions have specific procedures for disputes or appeals.

Hjullås offers a practical solution for parking enforcement and security, emphasizing the importance of following local rules and regulations regarding vehicle immobilization and removal.
