Marsden M-605 Large Hoist Weighing Scale, 200kg Capacity, Class III and MDD Approved
- 480mm Lifting Eye Span - 480mm distance between lifting eyes - wider than the M-600 - makes the M-605 compatible with larger coat hanger-style spreader bars used in bariatric and community hoists; the extended span directly enables use with higher-capacity hoist frames where the compact M-600 cannot be safely connected.
- 200kg Capacity and 100g Graduations - 200kg safe working capacity with 100g graduations provides clinically accurate patient weight measurement at the legal standard required for drug dosing, BMI calculation, and bariatric care pathway documentation; full numeric keypad supports on-device BMI calculation without a separate calculator.
- Class III and MDD Approved - Class III approved under the UK Measuring Instruments Regulations; MDD approved for medical use; legally compliant for NHS clinical records and medication dose calculations; internal rechargeable battery with over 40 hours continuous use eliminates mains dependency during patient transfer weighing across ward bays and community settings.
- LOLER 1998 and CQC Regulation 12 - as a lifting accessory attached to the hoist, the M-605 requires a 6-monthly LOLER thorough examination by a competent person alongside the hoist itself; CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) equipment obligations are met by the Class III legal approval, documented LOLER inspection regime, and Hold and Tare functions supporting accurate patient-specific weight capture.

Regulatory Compliance
The Marsden M-605 is Class III approved under the UK Measuring Instruments Regulations, making it legally compliant for trade and clinical use in patient weight measurement for drug dosing, BMI calculation, and medical record documentation. MDD approval confirms compliance with EU Medical Device Directive standards, accepted in UK clinical procurement. LOLER 1998 (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) classifies hoist weighing scales as lifting accessories; the M-605 requires a 6-monthly thorough examination by a competent person, documented and retained alongside the parent hoist inspection record. CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) requires all patient-lifting equipment to be maintained in safe working order with current inspection records available for CQC inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the M-605 and the Marsden M-600?
The M-600 is designed for standard hoists with a narrower lifting eye span. The M-605 provides 480mm between lifting eyes, making it compatible with larger coat hanger-style spreader bars used on bariatric hoists and wider community hoisting frames where the M-600 cannot be safely connected. Both models share the same 200kg capacity, 100g graduations, Class III approval, and BMI keypad. The M-605 is the indicated choice where hoist frame width prevents safe M-600 connection; consider the M-600 for standard hoist configurations where the smaller frame is adequate.
What LOLER examination is required for the M-605 and how often?
LOLER 1998 requires that lifting accessories, including hoist weighing scales, undergo a thorough examination by a competent person every 6 months, or following any incident that may have affected the equipment integrity. The examination must be documented in a written report and retained. Care home and hospital providers should include the M-605 in their scheduled LOLER examination programme alongside the hoist spreader bar and sling. CQC Regulation 12 inspectors may request LOLER examination records as part of safe care equipment evidence.
