Why care homes use this

Care homes specify a hoist weighing attachment such as the M-600 because regular weight monitoring is a core part of care planning (nutrition, pressure care and medication dosing all depend on accurate current weight), but many residents who are hoisted for transfers cannot physically use a standing or chair scale -- this attachment captures weight as part of an existing transfer rather than requiring a separate weighing procedure.

Key specification

Weight capacity 200 kg; MDD Class III approved for clinical accuracy; 100g graduations; unit weight 6.4 kg; 40+ hour battery life; hold, tare and BMI functions; optional Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity; 8-year warranty.
