Collection: Clinical Scales & Weighing

Accurate, regular weight monitoring is a key clinical indicator in care home settings. For residents in wheelchairs or who cannot transfer safely, wheelchair platform scales provide a dignified, accurate and low-risk weighing solution — no transfer required.

Trade2Care stocks wheelchair scales from Marsden and Seca. All scales are MHRA compliant and CE marked. Seca is the most searched clinical scale brand in the UK — the full Seca wheelchair scale range is stocked alongside Marsden options at trade prices.

Key features to specify

• Platform size — must accommodate your widest wheelchair with resident seated
• Ramp access — confirm ramp angle and width for your wheelchairs
• Data logging — wireless transmission to care records saves time
• Bariatric rating — standard models to 300kg; bariatric to 500kg+

In-hoist weighing scales fit between the hoist and the sling, allowing the resident to be weighed during a routine hoisting transfer — no additional handling, no extra transfer, no disruption to normal care routines. The safest weighing solution for non-ambulant and high-dependency residents.

Compatible with Arjo, Oxford, Invacare, Molift and all major mobile and ceiling hoist systems. Carry cases also available for portable use across rooms.

Benefits in care homes

• No additional transfer — resident weighed during a routine hoist
• All dependency levels — any hoisted resident can be weighed
• LOLER note — hoist scales are subject to 6-monthly LOLER inspection alongside the hoist itself. Book here

Chair scales provide a dedicated seated weighing solution for residents who can transfer to a chair but cannot stand. The resident transfers once, is weighed, and transfers back — simpler and lower-risk than wheelchair platform weighing for ambulant but frail residents.

Trade2Care stocks chair scales from Seca and Marsden. All scales MHRA compliant and CE marked. Digital display with optional printer output for care records.

Chair scales vs wheelchair scales

• Chair scales — resident transfers to the scale chair; simpler for ambulant residents; lower platform
• Wheelchair scales — resident stays in their wheelchair; no transfer required; better for non-ambulant residents
