MX490 Wheelchair Scale
The Befour MX490 is the deepest platform in the MX wheelchair scale range, with a 32″ × 41″ surface designed to accommodate wider bariatric wheelchairs that standard platforms cannot safely fit. Dual ramps provide a smooth, accessible roll-on approach from either side, eliminating repositioning needs in tight clinical spaces.
The integrated “Active” handrail also allows ambulatory patients to use the platform as a standard handrail scale, expanding the scale’s utility beyond wheelchair weighing. The Fold & Roll design enables compact storage, and the fully assembled delivery means it is ready to weigh immediately upon arrival. MotionLock accuracy and ECO Weigh battery management provide consistent, cost-efficient performance.
