Weighing a client who cannot stand is awkward and often gets skipped. This spreader bar builds a digital scale into the lift itself, so the weight is captured during a transfer the client was having anyway.
Who it suits
It suits a site that needs weight recorded for a clinical reason: nutrition and hydration monitoring, wound healing, medication dosing, or watching for fluid retention. The reading shows on two screens, so a carer on either side of the lifter can read it without walking around.
The six point design gives a carer more control over how the client sits in the sling, including the angle of the trunk and legs. The bar keeps a low profile, so it does not eat into the lifting height of the hoist it is fitted to, and it carries Class III certification for weighing.
It fits the Oxford Presence and Stature lifters.
