Vehicle Measuring Stick Details


This telescopic height measuring pole has 5 sliding aluminium sections with a maximum overall length of 16 feet 5 inches. When retracted the pole measures 127cm x 10cm so its quite compact, and packs away into its own holdall.

Both imperial and metric measurements are visible and easy to read with 1mm increments.

There is also a circular level bubble to ensure the pole is aligned correctly.

The fold out top arm enables quick and precise measuring of the vehicle height.


Where are Height measuring sticks used?


This type of measuring aid is commonly used within the transport industry, typically to ensure the driver knows the exact height of their vehicle in order to navigate their journey avoiding obstacles such as bridges which are too low.

Commercial vehicles, car transporters, hauliers, ferry operators, trailers, fire and rescue, police and more are typical users, however it doesn't stop there!

Boats, caravans, motorhomes can also make use of these measuring sticks, as can other large loads that are being lifted and moved with a crane onto a low loader for example. The construction industry can make good use of them too.


When loading vehicles and you are not quite sure if the load will fit into the vehicle then these measuring sticks will come in handy; you can confirm the load dimensions before loading rather than attempting to load up and finding it won't fit.
