Marsden M-605 Large Hoist Weighing Attachment, 200kg Capacity, Class III and MDD Approved
- Class III and MDD Approved, 200kg capacity, 100g graduations, the only clinically certified hoist weighing attachment for NHS and CQC-regulated care settings, meeting NAWI Directive requirements for clinical patient monitoring during hoist transfers.
- 10cm wider than the M-600, designed for larger hoists with wider coat-hanger spreader bars including bariatric and ceiling track hoist models, ensuring secure attachment and accurate weighing for the widest range of clinical hoist configurations.
- Clips onto coat-hanger-shaped spreader bars without requiring patient transfer to a floor or chair scale, with Hold function for stable weight capture during the hoist lift, eliminating the additional handling step and LOLER risk of a separate weighing transfer.
- Clinically identical to the M-600 in precision and approval, with the M-605 being the correct specification when the hoist spreader bar width exceeds standard dimensions, including most bariatric ceiling track hoist installations in NHS trusts and care homes.
Marsden M-605: Class III and MDD Approved Large Hoist Weighing Attachment for Wide Spreader Bar Hoists
The Marsden M-605 is the large-format variant of the best-selling M-600 hoist weighing attachment, designed for hoists with a wider-than-standard coat-hanger spreader bar, including most bariatric ceiling track hoists used in NHS high-dependency wards and specialist care homes. At 10cm wider than the M-600 while sharing the same 200kg capacity, 100g precision, and Class III and MDD Approved clinical certification, the M-605 provides the same clinical performance as the M-600 in hoist configurations where the standard attachment cannot be securely fitted to the spreader bar.
As the only clinically certified hoist weighing attachment available in a wide-format configuration, the M-605 fills the specific clinical gap in bariatric hoist environments where the M-600 physically cannot be used.

Regulatory and Clinical Compliance
Class III and MDD approval confirm the M-605 meets NAWI Directive precision standards and EU Medical Device Directive requirements for clinical patient weighing during hoist transfers. LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) requires that all lifting attachments used in patient handling are rated for the loads placed on them and are properly maintained and inspected. The M-605's Class III and MDD certification satisfies the clinical weighing dimension of LOLER compliance when used with a LOLER-compliant hoist. The NAWI Directive requirement for Class III certification in clinical diagnostic use confirms that uncertified hoist attachments do not legally meet the standard for clinical drug dosing weight capture in NHS and CQC-regulated settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether my hoist requires the M-600 or the M-605?
The choice between M-600 and M-605 is determined by the width of your hoist's coat-hanger spreader bar. Standard domestic and general-use hoists typically use spreader bar widths that the M-600 accommodates. Bariatric hoists and most ceiling track hoist systems, particularly those designed for high-weight patients, use wider spreader bars for which the M-605 is the correct specification. If you are unsure, Marsden's clinical sales team can advise based on your hoist make and model, or you can measure the spreader bar width and compare it against the M-600 and M-605 attachment dimensions available in the product documentation.
Is the M-605 compatible with all ceiling track hoist systems?
The M-605 is compatible with the majority of ceiling track hoist systems that use a coat-hanger-shaped spreader bar, which is the standard configuration for most NHS and care home ceiling track installations. Hoists using alternative spreader bar designs, such as straight bars or clip-frame systems, may not be compatible with the M-605 attachment mechanism. For non-standard hoist configurations, Marsden recommends confirming compatibility with the hoist manufacturer or requesting a site visit from Marsden's technical team before ordering to ensure correct specification and safe clinical deployment.
