Measuring Wheel GEKO G01465 — mechanical distance counter (model G01465)

The Measuring Wheel GEKO G01465 is a mechanical distance counter designed for reliable measurement of linear distances on roads, paths and varied terrain. It combines a durable rotating wheel with a mechanical counter that records metres travelled, providing a straightforward method to measure lengths, perimeters and routes. The tool is portable, manually operated and intended for outdoor use by surveyors, construction workers and landscapers.

Advantages

The mechanical construction ensures operation without batteries or power supply, reducing downtime and maintenance needs. The wheel and handle are designed for field use, offering durability and ease of transport. The built-in counter displays measured metres clearly and resets easily for repeated measurements. The simple, mechanical principle provides consistent results in a range of environments and requires minimal user training.

Suitable for

• Measuring lengths of roads, sidewalks and trails
• Calculating perimeters of sites and properties
• Estimating distances for landscaping and garden planning
• On-site measurements for construction and civil engineering tasks

Key specifications

• Measurement method: mechanical rotating wheel with counter
• Measurement units: metres (mechanical counter calibrated in linear units)
• Construction: robust wheel and frame suitable for outdoor terrain
• Operation: manual, no electrical power required
• Portability: foldable or compact handle for transport (manual transportable tool)
• Display: mechanical digit counter with reset function

How to use

Hold the handle and place the wheel on the starting point of the route. Walk at a steady pace so the wheel rotates smoothly; the mechanical counter will record the cumulative distance in metres. To measure a new section, stop at the end point and read the counter. Reset the counter to zero before beginning a new measurement. For best results, follow the centreline of the path to avoid lateral drift and ensure the wheel maintains consistent contact with the ground.

Usage recommendations

Use the device on firm, relatively even surfaces when possible; avoid excessive wheel slip on loose gravel, mud or highly uneven ground. Store the measuring wheel in a dry place and clean debris from the wheel and counter after field use. Periodically check the counter reset and wheel attachment for secure fit before each measurement session.
