Rolling Straight Edge
for Paving by PTE

New - Used - Rebuilding - Repairing - Retrofits
PTE has been repairing rebuilding and improving rolling straight edges for over 10 years.
This effort was the result of a program initiated by the Florida Department of Transportation working with the University of Florida to develop a training program for pavement measuring. Precision Tool & Engineering (PTE) was brought onboard to rebuild and improve accuracy of the "Cline" type of rolling straight edge. As a result of this, in 2012 PTE started producing their improved version of a rolling straight edge, now proven to have a significant advantage over the original design.

Accurate - Our straight edges Meet or Exceed ALL FDOT specifications. The pointer needles have a near zero play and have adjustments to keep them that way.

Rugged design - Upgraded harware, stronger component materials, and improved component design resulted in fewer returns to the Cline type units. We now see 4-5 years of field use without any significant repair for the PTE design units. Our wheels typically last 4-5 years.

Quality - We applied engineering and manufacturing principles from industrial machine design and fabrication methods that we have used with our industrial and aerospace clients for the last 50 years.

Customer Service - We listen to our customers and incorporate their needs in our product on an ongoing basis resulting in continuous improvement of our products and services. We offer free training for maintenance and adjustment at our site when you pick up your new or refurbished unit.

Warranty - One year - parts and labor.
