Trundle Wheel
Product Code : LSK-ML-10135
Trundle Wheel (SKU LSK-ML-10135), also called a measuring wheel, has a 1 m circumference, so every full turn along the ground covers one metre. Pupils can use it to measure long distances in the playground or corridor and to show how a circle's circumference relates to its diameter. The wheel comes from the Science Lab Supplies factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, where it is manufactured for schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors who order direct.
Specifications
A 1 m circumference sets the scale for this wheel, and each specification is listed below as a separate row. In short, the plastic moulded wheel has a non-slip tyre, rim marks every 5 cm with larger diamonds every 25 cm, a pointer for reading part-metres and a handle that detaches for storage.

Applications and Experiments for the Trundle Wheel
The trundle wheel takes measurement outdoors: learners count whole turns for metres and read the 5 cm marks against the pointer for the remainder. Because the circumference is fixed at 1 m, measuring the wheel's diameter also gives a practical estimate of pi in upper-primary circle lessons.
- Primary measurement: estimating and then measuring lengths in metres and centimetres, after comparing one 5 cm mark with five 1 cm Base Ten Cubes.
- Upper-primary circles: dividing the 1 m circumference by the measured diameter (about 32 cm) to approach pi.
- Mapping and scale drawing: measuring a playground or field before drawing it to scale.
- Science and geography fieldwork: marking out distances, then timing walks or runs over them with School Digital Stopwatches to work out speed.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Trundle Wheel is supplied as one plastic moulded wheel with a non-slip tyre, the rim markings and pointer described above, and a detachable handle for storage. Rulers, tapes or stopwatches from the Maths Lab and Physics Lab ranges can be added to the same quotation if your class needs them.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can request one wheel for the teacher or one per group so a whole class can measure at once. Either way, the Science Lab Supplies quotation shows packing, delivery time and price for that count, and further maths lab equipment can be quoted with it.
Because it is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. To price wheels for your school, describe the quantity on the contact page, drop the item into the enquiry cart, or follow the lab tender page for institutional purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a trundle wheel measure distance?
Each full turn of the wheel equals its 1 m circumference. Count the turns for whole metres, then read the 5 cm marks against the pointer for any part of a metre left over.
Can the Trundle Wheel be stored easily?
Yes. The handle is detachable, so the wheel and handle can be packed away separately in a cupboard or kit box after the lesson.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Each wheel is produced at the Science Lab Supplies factory in Saha, Ambala, India, so you are dealing with the manufacturer: enquiries are priced and answered by the maker, not by a reseller.
Why does the wheel have a non-slip tyre?
The non-slip tyre helps the wheel roll without skidding when it is pushed along the ground outdoors. Keep a steady walking pace and watch the pointer for consistent readings across a measured distance.
