Finding The Right Wheelchair Scale

If you or someone you know is in a wheelchair, you know how important a good wheelchair scale can be. If it's hard or impossible to get out of the wheelchair, then a wheelchair scale is essential to getting an accurate weight.

Wheelchair scales can be purchased online in a variety of price ranges. There are a few things to consider before purchasing:

*How often will the scale be used (how sturdy does the scale need to be)?

*What is the maximum weight you will need the scale to weigh?

*Is the wheelchair to be weighed oversized? You might need a scale designed for this.

*Are you amenable to online shopping? A great variety of scales are found online; this is not so easy a purchase in the "real" world

So, if you decide to purchase a wheelchair scale, where do you turn? There are many websites to choose from.

Visit www.balances.com for a choice of wheelchair scales that includes the Health O Meter 410KLS. This scale has a capacity of 350 pounds and a ramp so a wheelchair can easily glide up on the scale. It has an oversized platform so even larger wheelchairs can be accommodated. The scale comes with two attachment weights so the scale can weigh up to 450 pounds if necessary.

www.scalesgalore.com features a wide variety of wheelchair scales ranging from $549 to $2,450. At the low end, the MedWeigh scale has a capacity of 650 pounds, and measures BMI. At the high end, the Seca 684 has a capacity of 800 pounds and has wheels for movement.

The MedWeigh scale also has handrails for people who are standing to be weighed. This might be someone who's normally in a wheelchair and can temporarily stand to be weighed, but it might also be an obese patient in a bariatric facility. Because wheelchair scales can handle heavier weights than a regular scale, many bariatric facilities purchase them for their extremely obese patients.

At www.scale-tronix.com, you can purchase a wide variety of wheelchair scales made by the company, including the 6002 wheelchair scale, which features a weight recall and is cordless. It also has an optional handrail and can weigh up to an 880 pound capacity.
