Electronic Total Station

Construction supply companies have expanded their selection of measuring wheels to reflect the needs of their clients. Most builders and contractors look for measuring wheels that can withstand difficult terrain while producing reliable data. The selection of a good wheel can be as difficult as choosing a South Survey electronic total station or a new construction laser.

The ideal measuring wheel for a builder features an ergonomic handle and wheel design to cut down on physical strain. The best products feature long bodies and contoured handles to help builders collect information for hours without feeling uncomfortable. The wheel itself should be constructed from durable rubber with deep treads to stand up to mud, rocks and lumpy surfaces.

Select a Measuring Wheel for Basic Building Needs

The look of a measuring wheel means nothing without a fully functional display on the handle. The traditional counter used scrolling numbers to indicate the number of feet measured from start to finish. Most manufacturers have turned to digital displays that allow users to collect data in standard and metric systems.

The addition of digital displays to these products increases the number of functions available to users. Many users store numbers, recall the last measurement and make calculations using the electronic units on wheel handles. These units are ideal for surveyors and builders who are lining up several projects in a row without the benefit of field books.
