Trundle Wheel and Counter

The Trundle Wheel and Counter is a practical and durable tool designed for accurately measuring distances, making it an excellent addition to both educational and outdoor activities. With a rubber tyre that ensures smooth rolling and maintains accuracy, this trundle wheel is perfect for measuring long distances in various settings. The built-in counter tracks the distance in increments of 0.1m, up to a maximum of 99999.9m, providing precise readings as the wheel rolls. Featuring a sturdy telescopic aluminium handle and a large rubber wheel with a 318mm diameter, this trundle wheel allows for easy use and reliable measurements. The wheel's circumference of exactly 1 metre means that every full rotation corresponds to 1 metre of travel. Ideal for both classroom and outdoor measurement tasks, this trundle wheel helps students visualise and engage with measurement concepts in a fun, hands-on way. Its compact, lightweight design (0.9kg) makes it easy to transport and store when not in use.
