Marsden MHS-2710 Hoist Weighing Scale, 300kg Capacity, Compact Digital Attachment with Minimal Height Reduction
- Class III and MDD Approved, 300kg capacity, meeting NAWI Directive requirements for clinical patient monitoring and drug dosing, converting any compatible hoist into a certified clinical weighing device without patient transfer to a floor or chair scale.
- Compact 0.5kg attachment fits between the hoist boom and spreader bar with minimal height reduction, preserving safe working headroom and maintaining LOLER-compliant lifting clearances during patient transfer and weighing.
- 300kg capacity covers the full range of standard and bariatric hoist patients, with Class III precision supporting weight-based drug dosing for IV medications in NHS high-dependency and care home environments where floor scales cannot safely be accessed.
- Over 100 hours of battery life from a single charge, with clear digital display and Hold function for stable weight capture during the hoist transfer, eliminating additional patient handling steps for weighing purposes.
Marsden MHS-2710: Class III and MDD Approved High-Capacity Hoist Weighing Scale for Clinical Use
The Marsden MHS-2710 is a high-capacity hoist weighing attachment providing Class III and MDD Approved clinical accuracy for patients whose dependency level makes floor or chair scale access impractical or unsafe. At 300kg capacity, the MHS-2710 extends the clinical weighing range beyond the 200kg M-600, covering the full range of bariatric hoist patients in NHS high-dependency wards, intensive care units and CQC-regulated care homes where accurate weight is required for IV drug dosing, nutritional assessment and fluid management without additional patient handling.
The 0.5kg attachment fits between the hoist boom and spreader bar, minimising height loss during the lift and maintaining LOLER-required safe working clearance throughout the transfer and weighing process.

Regulatory and Clinical Compliance
Class III and MDD approval confirm the MHS-2710 meets NAWI Directive precision standards and EU Medical Device Directive requirements for clinical patient weighing. The 300kg capacity is a significant clinical advantage over the standard 200kg M-600 range: in NHS bariatric care and specialist care home settings, patients who require full hoist dependency are disproportionately likely to be high-BMI, and a 200kg attachment may be insufficient for this patient population. LOLER compliance requires that hoist attachments are rated for the loads placed upon them, and the MHS-2710's 300kg rated capacity covers the practical clinical range of most hoist-dependent bariatric patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the MHS-2710 differ from the M-600 and M-605 hoist attachments?
The MHS-2710 has a 300kg capacity, compared with 200kg for the M-600 and M-605, making it the appropriate choice for bariatric hoist patients who exceed the 200kg range. The MHS-2710 also has a different mounting position, fitting between the hoist boom and the spreader bar rather than attaching directly to the spreader bar itself. This boom-mounted configuration is compatible with a broader range of hoist and sling combinations, including some configurations where the M-600 or M-605 cannot be attached without modifying the sling setup.
Does the MHS-2710 affect the hoist's safe working load during a transfer?
The MHS-2710's 0.5kg attachment weight has a negligible effect on the hoist's total suspended load. However, clinicians should confirm that the combined weight of the patient, sling, spreader bar and MHS-2710 attachment remains within the hoist's rated safe working load as required by LOLER. At 300kg patient capacity, the MHS-2710 is designed for use with hoists rated at or above that combined load. Marsden recommends consulting the hoist manufacturer's documentation to confirm compatibility before deployment in new environments.
