Wheelchair Scales: Simple, Safe Weight Tracking

The biggest issue with traditional scales is that getting weighed is complicated or dangerous. But if you use a wheelchair, stepping onto a regular scale isn't just difficult, it's often impossible. There is a risk of falls and injuries during the transfer process. Many people skip weight monitoring entirely because it's too difficult.

This creates serious health risks. Doctors need accurate weight readings to prescribe medication correctly. Sudden weight changes can signal heart problems, fluid retention, or other serious conditions. Missing these signs can be life-threatening.

At Prime Scales, we've designed our portable wheelchair scales to eliminate transfer risks. No more dangerous movements. Just your actual weight.

Why Wheelchair Weight Scales Are Essential

Our medical scales help you track what matters the most, including medication dosing, fluid retention, nutrition goals, and recovery progress. Regular monitoring becomes simple instead of stressful.

What Makes the Roll on Floor Scale Different

The key feature is that they are constructed to last, with Heavy-duty steel construction to deal with daily use. They are not the regular home scales, but professional equipment that is here to last. Moreover, they also provide the following benefits:

FAQs

1. How do I get just my weight without the wheelchair? 

Most Wheelchair Weight Scales have a tare function. You can either roll the empty wheelchair first and press tare, or enter your wheelchair's known weight using the keypad. 

2. Will this work with my power wheelchair? 

Yes. We accept both manual and power wheelchairs and mobility scooters. The platforms will accommodate the increased weight and size of the powered mobility devices.

3. Can I use this on carpet? 

To be most accurate, the scale should always be used on hard and flat surfaces such as tile, wood, or concrete. For carpets, you need to get those that have carpet feet adapters.

4. What if I need to move it between rooms? 

Portable wheelchair scales have built-in wheels and handles, and hence can be moved easily from room to room or even stored vertically against a wall when not in use.

5. How accurate are these compared to hospital scales? 

Our scales provide medical-grade accuracy within 0.1 lb, the same standard used in hospitals and clinics. They're reliable enough for medication dosing and critical health monitoring.
