Going the distance

The C. H. Hanson Co. has introduced SpeedMeter, a new electronic measuring wheel that is available with 4-inch and 13-inch wheel sizes to accommodate almost any industry. The 4-inch model is ideal for indoor applications, including flooring installers and interior designers. This one-pound unit extends to 39 inches for comfortable measuring and features dual-wheel design for added stability. The 13-inch model is better suited for outdoor conditions and is intended for contractors and concrete installers, among others. It features a pistol grip and collapsible kickstand, and it weighs 21⁄2 pounds. Both models feature a large LCD display that is easy to read, an electronic brake that holds measurements until it is reset, and a telescoping handle. The electronic measuring units can measure up to 10,000 feet/inches, 10,000 yards/ tenths, or 10,000 meters/centimeters. The unit adds up the distance traveled when moving forward, subtracts when operated in reverse, measures trip distance and calculates total distance. The models are 99.9 percent accurate and sealed to IP65/NEMA 4 specifications. For more information, please visit www.chhanson.com
