For a clinic room that would rather not depend on batteries or a power point, this mechanical column scale is ready whenever someone steps on it. The beam sits at eye level, so the operator reads and adjusts standing upright instead of bending to the floor.
The dial face is printed on both sides, which means the patient can see their own result at the same time as the clinician. Sliding weights give a fine reading, and the reset to zero function lets you allow for clothing or an aid.
The platform is wide and sits low, so stepping on is straightforward for an older client. Transport castors are built into the base for moving it between rooms, and an optional measuring rod turns it into a height and weight station in one step.
