Digital Hanging Scale 660 LB 300 KG - Professional Heavy Duty Waterproof Fish Scale - Portable Durable Crane

I purchased this scale because I needed to track the weight of an invalid family member who cannot stand on a weighing scale. After reading many reviews of weighing scales on Amazon, I decided to purchase this scale because of its high customer ratings and mentions that some purchasers used it with a hoyer lift. Here's my experience... The scale is EXCELLENT and accurate to within 1/2 pound validated by my various empirical tests using known weights. However, the scale is NOT ideal for use with a Medline MDS88200D Hoyer Lift. Having studied engineering in college and having some mechanical aptitude, I connected the scale to the Hoyer Lift using the provided rubber spacers and an additional shim to stabilize the assembly. (see photos) I then connected the 6-point cradle to the bottom of the scale using the provided U-bolt , which luckily happened to be the correct dimension to accept the hoyer's cradle pin. When attached this way, the scale added about 8-9 inches between the Hoyer boom arm and the top of the cradle. Problem #1: In order to accept a patient in a sling, the boom arm needed to be raised almost to the top of its lifting range. Problem #2: Another problem I encountered with the scale is that it did not swing freely when the boom arm was raised past a certain point. What happened is that the scale's orange case hit the side of the boom arm pivot and deflected to a non-perpendicular angle. The cradle remained perpendicular, however, the newly assumed angle put unnecessary stress on the scale's case and caused the scale to give inaccurate readings. Bottom Line: Would I buy this scale to use with a Medline MDS88200D Hoyer Lift - NO Would I buy this scale to weigh something else that's heavy? - absolutely YES but only if the hanging points are unimpeded.

This scale has worked very well for me over the years. It is accurate and the quality is great. It is nice because it holds a large amount of weight also. I wanted something that was affordable and easy to transport and this scale does all of that! I highly recommend this scale to anyone who is in the market for one! Read more

MODERN STEP Hanging Scale 660Lb 300Kg for Farm, Hunting, Bow Draw Weight, Big Fish & Hoyer Lift with Accurate Sensor (Digital, Professional, Light Case). We purchased this digital scale so that we could fill hay bags for our horses and weigh them out so we had an accurate number for pounds and ounces of hay fed to each horse. Product is as described and works great! We have it hung on a "shepherds hook" that you would typically hang a flower basket on. I would recommend this product that I rate as a 5 star product.

So far so good. I'm using this scale to weight everything from backpacks to wild-game quarters. Easy to operate and seems very accurate. One improvement I would make is for production to send the product out with just snug screws on the back holding the battery plate. The screws are so small and easy to strip that you have to be gentle and precise taking off the battery cover and replacing the cover by just snugging the screws. Otherwise, all good so far.

One of my favorite purchases. Use more than I thought I would. Easy to operate. Great for weighing luggage for air flights. Read more

Mounted it up in my barn loft to weigh hay bales and hay bags to feed my horses more accurately. Tested for accuracy with my bathroom scale and it was only off by a few ounces at most. Excellent mounting hardware too, very heavy duty. Will have to see how it holds up in the cold weather this winter as thats when I'll be using it the most. Read more
