The mechanical sliding-weight column scales which have been very successful on the market for some decades now in more or less unmodified form have been reinvented as far as design and function are concerned. The transmission of the archetypal qualities of this classic into the future, the clear visualisation of the usage and sensible additional functions bring a distinctive quality which redefines the claim to durable reliability. With a capacity of 220 kg, this column scale is also extremely suitable for weighing heavyweight patients. Helpful features here are the low but large platform and the non-slip, ribbed rubber mat. As the scale is printed on both sides, both the patient and the attendant can read the results. The high-quality construction of the scale guarantees a stable standing position and durability.
