Importance of Wheelchair Scales

Accurate patient weight is vital for personalised healthcare, especially for wheelchair users and those with balance issues. Traditional scales can be challenging and inaccurate in these cases. NUWEIGH's wheelchair scales provide a safe and comfortable solution, allowing patients to remain seated during weighing. 

This precise measurement is crucial for monitoring health conditions, determining appropriate medication dosages, and conducting thorough health assessments. BMI calculation further contributes to a comprehensive picture of a patient's health. NUWEIGH's wheelchair scales empower healthcare professionals to deliver exceptional, individualised care. 

Key Features

product-images wheelchair-scales-ms3830-details-D7wb0

NUWEIGH's wheelchair scales are designed with both patient comfort and accurate weighing in mind. Our durable unit features:  

  • Large, Easy-to-Read Displays: Clear LCD displays ensure accurate weight readings are readily visible to patients and healthcare professionals.
  • Accommodating Weight Capacities: We offer a range of capacities to suit various user needs. Each scale's maximum capacity varies. 
  • Effortless Entry and Exit: Low-profile platforms with gentle ramps allow for safe and easy wheelchair access.
  • Flexible Power Options: The function AC power adaptor and included AA batteries provide reliable operation in any setting. 
  • Shaking Tare Function: This advanced feature ensures accurate weight readings even for unsteady patients by automatically deducting the weight of the wheelchair.

These features, combined with our commitment to after-sales support, guarantee a user-friendly and dependable weighing experience for patients and healthcare professionals.

Choosing the Right Wheelchair Scale

Obtaining accurate weight measurements for wheelchair users is crucial in healthcare settings. NUWEIGH understands this challenge and is here to guide you in selecting the ideal wheelchair scale for your needs. Here are some key factors to consider:


Accuracy and Features:

  • Shaking Patients Tare Function: Look for a scale with a tare function. This function automatically deducts the weight of the wheelchair for precise patient readings, particularly beneficial for unsteady or shaking patients. 
  • Digital Display: A large, clear digital display ensures patients and healthcare professionals can easily read the weight measurement, minimising potential errors. Features such as our scale BMI function also provide a more comprehensive picture of a patient's health.  


Durability and Safety:

  • Sturdy Construction: A high-quality wheelchair scale should be durable with a powder-coated finish to withstand frequent use and support a wide range of weight capacities.
  • Integrated Ramps: Opt for a scale with integrated, low-profile ramps for safe and smooth patient transfer onto the platform. This eliminates the need for separate ramps and enhances stability.


Usability and Convenience:

  • Portability: Consider your needs. If portability is essential for moving the scale within your facility or home, choose a lightweight and easy-to-manoeuvre model.
  • Power Options: Scales with AC power adapters and battery backup options provide flexibility and ensure reliable operation in any setting. 


Compliance and Support:

  • Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG): In Australia, ensure your chosen wheelchair scale is included on the ARTG, guaranteeing it meets the required safety and performance standards of the powered Australian register. 
  • After-Sales Service: NUWEIGH prioritises exceptional after-sales support. Our team is readily available to answer questions, provide training, and ensure your scale functions optimally for years to come.


After considering these factors, you can select a NUWEIGH wheelchair scale that delivers accurate measurements, promotes patient safety, and streamlines the weighing process in your healthcare facility or home setting. Our knowledgeable sales team is here to assist you in finding the perfect wheelchair scale to meet your specific needs. Contact us today to discuss your requirements.
