Rapid, Reliable Weighing for Emergency and Acute Care The 8550-AC is a heavy-duty, portable weighing solution designed for patients who cannot be easily moved from their stretcher or gurney. Featuring a massive 1,000 lb capacity and an extra-wide platform, this scale is built for the high-intensity environment of the ER, dialysis units, and intensive care.

Designed for Portability and Storage Unlike traditional platform scales, the 8550-AC features a collapsible folding column. Using a quick-release lever, the column folds down flat against the platform, allowing the scale to be wheeled through narrow hallways or stored compactly when not in use.

Key Features:

  • Folding Column Design: Easily collapses for transport and storage, making it ideal for facilities with limited space.
  • 1,000 lb Capacity: High-capacity precision (1,000 lb x 0.2 lb / 450 kg x 0.1 kg) for bariatric and standard gurneys.
  • Extra-Wide Platform: The 60" x 32.5" weighing surface accommodates virtually all common stretcher types.
  • Low-Profile Deck: Features an ultra-low profile with integrated ramps for effortless gurney loading.
  • Highly Portable: Equipped with dual integral wheels and a lightweight frame (130 lbs) that is easy for nursing staff to maneuver.
  • MedVue® Weight Analyzer: Includes a large backlit LCD with a 350-degree swivel for easy viewing from any angle.
