Rolson 50799 Distance Measuring Wheel

The measuring wheel is also known as a surveyor’s wheel and is used for measuring distance along a surface. Each revolution of the wheel measures a specific distance, such as a yard or metre. These surveyor’s wheels provide a good measure of accuracy when on a smooth surface such as a pavement but when used on rough terrain the wheel can slip and bounce which can reduce the accuracy. These types of wheels are ideal for road maintenance or underground utility workers as well as farmers and builders for fast measuring over distances too long for a surveyors tape.The Rolson 50799 measuring wheel is a durable, lightweight and compact construction that has been precision engineered to the highest quality. This 300mm measuring wheel is for one person operation and is easy to use and read. The counter adds when the wheel is going forward and subtracts in reverse, which allows the operator to correct the measurement if they overstep their mark. The mechanical counting head has a fine digit read out, to reset simply press the button on the reset counter. This wheel comes with a light facility for use at night and has also been supplied with a durable canvas bag for travelling around.
