8500 / 8550 Portable Stretcher Scales by Detecto

Detecto's versatile and feature-rich 8500 Portable Stretcher Scale grants medical facilities the ability to weigh patients in a wide range of conditions. Ideal for emergencies but useful in standard situations as well, this scale is able to capture weight readings for patients in stretchers, gurneys, and wheelchairs of all varieties with precision and speed. Its spacious 60 x 32.5-inch weighing platform and 1,000 lb weight capacity accommodate all common stretcher types, and floor-resting dual ramps on either side of the unit grant easy maneuverability on and off the scale.

Thanks to its slim profile and vertical transport mode, the 8500 is portable from room to room and fits through nearly any doorway. Using integral wheels and guide handles, healthcare professionals will be able to roll the scale throughout the facility with ease, promoting convenience and flexibility in a fast-paced environment.

The MedVue indicator included with the scale, which comes connected to a 14-foot extendable cable with a wall-mounting bracket, displays weight readings with clinical-grade accuracy in highly readable bold LCD digits. The convenient tare feature enables professionals to remove stretcher or wheelchair weight at the push of a button, and the single-pass weighing system allows for an accelerated weighing process to meet the parameters of the situation.

While the large platform size and textured mat surface already support patient safety, an optional yellow guide rail kit is available if further safety precautions are required.

An option for the 8550 version with a column to hold the indicator is available.
