Wheelchair Scale with Handrails Fold-up with Casters for Portability

There are four major criteria in evaluating wheelchair scales. The first is ease of use for a wheelchair bound patient or their caregiver. The second is the accuracy of the scale. The third is the ruggedness and durability. And the fourth is the cost. Arlyn Scale’s Model 320-WC provides stellar performance in all four areas.

Superb engineering coupled with excellent workmanship has resulted in a user friendly experience when weighing people in wheelchairs. Specially designed angled load cells provide an unusually low platform profile, resulting in gently angled ramps and easy access onto the generously dimensioned platform. Grab bars provide stability for those people who may need a little assistance if they walk onto the scale. Weight results are shown on easy to read, 1” high block graphic digits. The weight of the empty wheelchair must be subtracted from the total weight to determine the patient weight. This task is greatly simplified by the ability to store in the scale memory the empty weights of dozens of different model wheelchairs. Then the patient weight is immediately determined by just selecting the wheelchair they are using.

Unrivaled accuracy is the result of industrial grade stainless steel load cells and modern electronic design. As an added benefit, the weight results can be communicated to a facility’s electronic medical record system with the Bluetooth communications system.

While other wheelchair scales utilize load cells fabricated from either aluminum or plated steel, Arlyn Scale’s stainless steel load cells will protect the scale from accidental rough handling and abuse. Coupled with a heavy duty, rust free welded aluminum frame, this wheelchair scale will provide years of trouble free service.

While the features and construction of this scale would suggest a premium price, Arlyn Scale’s unique position as a top tier manufacturer of all of the scale components allows prices that are generally only one half of our competitors equivalent units. While other companies may have to purchase the electronic indicators or load cells that they incorporate in their scales, we actually manufacture these items in the same factory as our completed scales. Our factory direct offerings enhance the cost advantages. As a further benefit, Arlyn’s Model 320-WC is the only full size wheelchair scale that is designed to be shipped using standard parcel shipping channels, avoiding high cost trucking. This can easily save an additional $100 or more.
