A bariatric scale you can carry
At 25 lb (11.3 kg), the scale has a built-in handle. The console stores in a cavity under the platform for the trip.
The extra-large 24 × 20 in (61 × 50.8 cm) platform stands 2 in (5.1 cm) high, with a triple-walled aluminum frame.
MotionLock settles the weight even when the person moves, without help from the caregiver or the patient.
A set of 4 D-cell batteries gives about 100,000 weighings. Send the weight through USB serial output or the optional wireless module.
Built into this scale
MotionLock
The scale settles the reading by itself, so a patient who sways or shifts still gets a weight you can record.
ECO Weigh batteries
Standard D-cell batteries last a long time between changes, so there is no cord on the floor and no outlet to find.
Hands-free weighing
A console setting lets the scale weigh without anyone pressing a button, which keeps hands off shared surfaces.
Ready for the medical record
Weights can go to your electronic record through the serial output or the optional wireless module.
Aluminum build
An aluminum frame that does not rust and stays light enough for your team to move.

Questions about the MX170
What is the weight capacity of the MX170?
Befour gives the MX170 a capacity of 1,000 lb (450 kg), read to 0.1 lb (0.05 kg), with an accuracy of ± 0.1 lb (0.05 kg). The platform measures 24 × 20 × 2 in (61 × 50.8 × 5.1 cm). Befour describes the MX170 as a scale for bariatric clinics.
Can the MX170 be carried despite its 1,000 lb capacity?
Yes. The MX170 weighs 25 lb (11.3 kg) and has a built-in handle. The display console stores in a cavity under the platform, and the scale runs on 4 D-cell alkaline batteries, included, so it needs no wall outlet. The frame is aluminum, which Befour describes as non-corroding.
How is the MX170 platform built?
Befour builds the MX170 platform on a triple-walled extruded aluminum frame, with reinforcement around its full perimeter, and attributes its stability to the extra-large size. The platform measures 24 × 20 in (61 × 50.8 cm) and stands 2 in (5.1 cm) high. The scale arrives assembled: insert the levelling feet and the batteries.
