Detecto 495 Mechanical Wheelchair Scale is a manual balance-beam platform scale for weighing patients in wheelchairs in clinical settings. The extra-wide, low-profile deck with a ramp and slip-resistant mat supports safe roll-on access. A dual-sided, eye-level beam allows clear reading from either side, and the zero balance control helps subtract wheelchair weight for accurate results. Heavy-duty steel construction delivers dependable performance without electricity for admissions, follow-ups, and therapy visits.
