ROLATAPE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ROLATAPE from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum measurement range of ROLATAPE measuring wheels available from 3G Electric?
ROLATAPE measuring wheels supplied by 3G Electric are available with a maximum measurement range of 100,000 feet. Models such as the 32-300RP, 32-400, RT204, RT104, RT312, and 32-300S all have a 100,000-foot range. The RT300 model has a 10,000-foot range. These ranges are based on the mechanical counter's capacity and the wheel's circumference calibration.
Are ROLATAPE measuring wheels foldable for storage and transport?
Some ROLATAPE measuring wheels are foldable, while others are not. For example, the RT204 and RT104 models are foldable, making them suitable for indoor use and easy storage. Models like the 32-300RP, 32-400, RT300, RT312, and 32-300S are not foldable, which provides a more rigid frame for outdoor applications. The foldable design allows the handle to collapse for compact carrying.
What materials are used in the construction of ROLATAPE measuring wheels?
ROLATAPE measuring wheels are constructed with either aluminum or steel frames. Aluminum models, such as the 32-300RP, RT204, RT300, RT104, RT312, and 32-300S, are lightweight and resistant to corrosion. The 32-400 model uses a steel frame, which offers increased durability for heavy-duty land surveying applications. The wheels are spoked with rubber tread for traction.
Do ROLATAPE measuring wheels require batteries or electronic components?
No, ROLATAPE measuring wheels are entirely mechanical devices and do not require batteries or electronic components. They use a mechanical counter that increments with each rotation of the wheel. This design ensures reliability in environments where electronic devices may fail due to moisture, dust, or lack of power. The mechanical counter is calibrated to measure distance based on the wheel's circumference.
What accessories are available for ROLATAPE measuring wheels from 3G Electric?
3G Electric supplies ROLATAPE carrying cases, such as the 32-400CCB, designed for specific models like the 32-400 measuring wheel. The case has a 15-inch overall height and is intended to protect the wheel during transport and storage. Other accessories may include replacement parts, but the primary accessory available is the carrying case for the 32-400 model.
What applications are ROLATAPE measuring wheels suitable for?
ROLATAPE measuring wheels are suitable for a variety of applications including real estate appraisals, land surveying, landscaping, general construction, and home remodeling. The mechanical design makes them ideal for outdoor use on pavement, grass, gravel, and uneven terrain. Indoor models like the RT204 and RT104 are designed for use on smooth surfaces such as floors and carpets.
