Review on Digital Aluminum Hanging Hunting Accurate by Ben Barrington

I purchased this scale because I needed to track the weight of a family member with a disability who cannot stand on the scale. After reading many reviews about the scale on Revain's website I decided to purchase this scale based on its high customer ratings and testimonials from some customers using it with a Hoyer lift. Here is my experience. The scale is EXCELLENT and accurate to within 1/2 pound based on my various empirical tests on known scales. However, this scale is NOT ideal for use with the Medline MDS88200D Hoyer Lift. After studying engineering at college and having some mechanical skills, I connected the scale to the Hoyer lift using the rubber grommets provided and an extra washer to stabilize the assembly. (see photos) I then attached the 6-point rest to the underside of the scale using the supplied U-bolt, which luckily turned out to be the right size to attach the Hoyer rest bolt. With this attachment, the scales added about 8-9 inches between the Hoyer boom and the top of the cradle. Problem #1: To accommodate a patient in a sling, the boom had to be raised almost to the top. lifting range. Problem #2: Another problem I had with the scales was that they would not swing freely when the boom was raised past a certain point. What happened was that the orange body of the scale hit the pivot of the cantilever and deviated at a non-perpendicular angle. The stand remained vertical, but the new intended angle put unnecessary stress on the scale body and caused the scale to give inaccurate readings. weigh something else heavy? - absolutely YES, but only if the suspension points are free.
