The distance in kilometres.
Metric distances reach a job from two places: mapping and equipment data. Mapping gives route lengths, which are what haulage is charged on. Equipment data gives service intervals and machine-hour equivalents, which are not distances at all in the same sense — a tracked machine's kilometres are not a road journey and should not be costed as one.
Distance
62.14 mi
1 km = 1 ÷ 1.609344 = 0.621371 miles. Exact by definition. The five-eighths rule is close; do not let it accumulate.

Add the equipment this sizes
This result is a specification — 62.14 mi — not a quantity. Put the thing it sizes into your project: how many, what you call it, and your supplier’s price.

Reading metric distance in an imperial market is mostly a checking job — a supplier's published radius, a route length off a mapping tool that defaulted to kilometres, a piece of plant whose documentation is European. The conversion is trivial and the habit around it is not: almost everyone carries a rule of thumb for this one, and the two rules in common use are five-eighths, which is very nearly right, and six-tenths, which is nearly four per cent low. Both feel equally authoritative in the moment. This page exists partly to give the exact figure and partly to put those two side by side, because the cost of the worse rule shows up only in aggregate, long after anybody remembers having applied it.
