How to find a great Measuring Wheel to fit you?

1. Wheel size


Measuring wheels are designed to give you a distance estimate while you walk, and for measuring curved surfaces. The wheel size you choose will depend on the terrain you"re measuring.

  • MG210MCS (30 CM / 12 Inch / 2 Wheels)Or MG12FIS (30 CM / 12 Inch / 1 Wheel) diameter wheels are ideal for indoor jobs, for decorators and painters, for instance.
  • For building contractors or landscapers, a MG12FIS (30 CM / 12 Inch / 1 Wheel) wheel would be the wheel of choice.
  • For big outdoor jobs with rough terrain, like fencing, irrigation, or laying concrete and asphalt, you"ll need a MG10MCM (50 CM / 19 Inch / 1 Wheel) wheel.


  • 2. Materials


    The wheel"s construction is vital to its accuracy and longevity. Professional measuring wheels are usually constructed from either metal or durable polymers, with rubber tires. UPGREEN has chosen to use a heavy-duty polymer composite on all its Measuring Wheels, because of its proven warp-resistance over time, and its lightweight properties. Combined with an adjustable telescopic handle, this makes UPGREEN "s wheels highly portable, easy to store, and comfortable to use. UPGREEN has also chosen a highly visible bright red for its wheel color, so it stands out on busy jobsites or in traffic. A convenient kick-stand is featured on all models.



    3. Measuring counter


    Measuring counters are mostly mechanical, although some wheels on the market offer a digital readout. UPGREEN offers a 5-digit gear-driven counter that subtracts when you roll it backwards, with a simple reset button. UPGREEN "s high-quality digital counters won"t suddenly disappoint in the middle of a job. Available in metric or imperial models, they measure up to 9999.9 (or 99999) in either feet or meters.
