About this item

- 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.

I changed this to 2 stars because I feel like if I had received all the components I might have had more success with it. But then it doesn’t even weigh anything any more.
This made it possible!!
Easy to use! If l could give more stars,l would!
