Live Handrails

While starting your search for a handrail scale, it's important to look for a model with live handrails. As part of the weighing platform, having live handrails means that while a patient is holding or leaning on the handrails, the scale still accurately records their weight.

Motion Compensation Technology

Some handrail scales also offer movement compensation technology. This adjusts for involuntary movement when weighing unsteady individuals to ensure accurate weights are captured.

Stability

Handrail scales offer reliable stability because they have a large base that prevents them from tipping over. Heavy-duty handrails can provide safety, support and stability for those who need extra assistance.

Low Profile

A handrail scale with a low profile allows patients to enter and exit the scale easily without the risk of tripping. Non-skid platforms provide traction for additional protection against slips and falls.

Weight Indicator

A digital weight indicator on your handrail scale should have multiple functions designed to meet your needs. Depending on your facility, functions such as holding displayed weight, taring a cane or walker, and printing a weight record may be important.
