About this item

  • This is the ORIGINAL Patient Lift Weight Scale introduced in 2018 from Hutchison Medical. We are an Illinois-based family-owned company. DOES NOT INCLUDE HOYER LIFT OR SLING. Scale Features: 1) Quality integrated circuit and durable load cells, 2) 1" large illuminated LCD display, 3) Stainless steel load receptor, 4) Multiple weighing modes: Kg, Lb, and N, 5) Tare function, 6) Auto power off.
  • Scale Specifications: Dimensions: 3.0" W x 3.625" L x 1.0" D, Weight: 5oz, Color: Black, Min. Weight: < 200g, Capacity: 330lb, Accuracy: 0.2 LB, Unit: KG / LB / N, Auto Off: 100 seconds, Tare Range: Tare full capacity.
  • The HM-400 is designed to be attached and removed from your Hoyer Lift easily and quickly each time that you need to weigh your patient. Our recommendation is to use the HM-400 only periodically (and not continuously) to weigh your patient. Reasons for our periodic-use recommendation:
  • Reason #1: When attached, the HM-400 adds up to 8" of length to your existing spreader bar setup. This means that you will have up to 8" less lifting height. If using a Hoyer lift that does not raise your patient very high, it may be necessary to first transfer your patient to a lower seat or bed before you begin the weighing process.
  • Reason #2: The HM-400 spreader bar, while extremely heavy-duty, is shorter than the spreader bar on your Hoyer Lift. You should always use the spreader bar on your Hoyer Lift for day-to-day lifts because it is larger than the HM-400 spreader bar and allows for the patient's girth to be spread over a wider area ultimately allowing for a much more comfortable lifting experience.

This scale worked as perfectly. My son has muscular dystrophy and uses a power chair and a ceiling mounted hoyer lift. It is very difficult to get an accurate weight for him. I saw a similar version at the hospital so I searched on Amazon. Found this one and took a chance. It gave a very accurate weight and was very easy to use. It fit perfectly onto the Hoyer lift frame and we just raised him up and got the weight. We do have a portable hoyer lift as well for travel but did not try the scale on that one however it looks like it would work just as well. I would highly recommend this for anyone in a similar situation who needs an accurate weight measurement device for this purpose.
