Medical & Physician Scale – Micro T7E Wheel Chair Scale

Introducing the Micro T7E Wheelchair Scale — The Ideal Choice for Patient‑Weighing Excellence

If you’re looking for a professional, reliable weighing solution for patients who use wheelchairs, the Micro T7E Wheelchair Scale offered by Border Scales ticks every box. Here’s a comprehensive look at what makes it stand out — and why you should consider it for your clinic, hospital, care home, or medical facility.

Key Features & Specifications

• Designed specifically for hospitals, clinics and frail‑care homes where patients may remain in wheelchairs.

• Sturdy construction: powder‑coated mild‑steel checker plate with non‑slip surface.

• Built‑in access ramps on both sides — makes transfer of the wheelchair onto the scale safe and straightforward.

• Pre‑set tare function (i.e., you can Tare out the wheelchair weight and then weigh the patient).

• Bright 50mm high red LED display for excellent visibility even in dim light.

• Hold function keeps the weight reading displayed until you clear it — useful when patient movement or positioning is messy.

• Rechargeable battery with built‑in charger and mains operation — providing flexibility.

• Capacity: 600 kg, with readability of 0.2 kg.

In short: high capacity, excellent visibility, built for wheelchairs, battery + mains, rugged build — a top professional‑grade choice.

Why This Scale Is a Great Investment for Healthcare Facilities

1. Patient‑friendly design – The double‑ramp setup means little effort is required to roll the wheelchair on. This reduces strain on staff and improves safety for patients.

2. Accurate & large capacity – At 600 kg and with 0.2 kg readability, it’s more than enough for adult and bariatric weighing.

3. Visibility & readability – The large red LED digits enhance readability for staff and patients alike, even in low‑light rooms or wards.

4. Flexibility of power – Rechargeable battery means you’re not tied to a fixed installation; mains operation ensures you’re never out of action.

5. Durable construction – The powder‑coated checker plate design is built to handle the day‑to‑day rigours of a medical environment such as clinics, hospitals, care homes.

6. Cost‑effectiveness – Having one robust wheelchair‑scale rather than multiple less‑suitable devices means reduced maintenance and lower risk of breakdowns (and the associated patient inconvenience).

7. Enhanced workflow – Being able to Tare the wheelchair, roll on the patient, and hold the weight means less time per patient, smoother operation and better data reliability.

8. Peace of mind with capacity – Even if you need to weigh larger patients, the 600 kg capacity gives extra head‑room.

9. Built for South Africa – With local support and accreditation, it’s tailored for the regional market.

Use Cases & Applications

• Hospitals: For Ward patients who cannot stand, or who remain in wheelchairs.

• Clinics: Especially those offering regular check‑ups for mobility‑impaired patients.

• Frail care / assisted living homes: Where weigh‑ins need to be done safely, comfortably and efficiently.

• Rehabilitation centres: Where patients may transition from wheelchair‑use to walking, and accurate weight tracking is essential.

• Bariatric or specialised mobility units: Because of the high 600 kg capacity, it serves heavier patients comfortably.

Conclusion

The Micro T7E Wheelchair Scale is a well‑designed, high‑capacity, professional solution built for medical facilities with wheelchair‑bound patients. With features tailored to this use‑case (ramps both sides, pre‑set tare, large display, battery + mains operation, hold function, rugged build) it stands out as a strong investment for any clinic, hospital or care home looking to upgrade their patient‑weighing equipment.
