The Marsden M-910 is a large-format floor-based weighing platform for NHS hospitals and specialist clinical facilities requiring a single scale capable of handling beds, patient trolleys and wheelchair-using patients. The extra-wide platform with gradual 1200mm ramps and anti-slip durbar surface accommodates the full range of standard and bariatric trolleys used across NHS trusts, with custom dimension options available for specific trust configurations that fall outside standard sizing.
Class III approved under the NAWI Directive, the M-910 is specified across NHS admission departments, A&E units and rehabilitation settings where a versatile, high-capacity weighing point is required as a permanent clinical fixture.

Class III approval under the NAWI Directive confirms the M-910 is authorised for patient monitoring, diagnosis and treatment in NHS and regulated care settings. The extra-wide platform and gradual ramps support NHS Moving and Handling Policy compliance by minimising the force required to move loaded beds and trolleys onto the scale, reducing musculoskeletal risk to clinical staff. The wall-mounted indicator option supports fixed workflow integration in admission units, avoiding floor-level obstruction and ensuring clear weight display for staff operating the scale from a standing position at the bedside.
Can the M-910 weigh patients in both beds and wheelchairs using the same scale?
Yes. The M-910's extra-wide platform accommodates hospital trolleys, standard and bariatric beds, and most wheelchair types, making it a single weighing point solution for admission units that handle diverse patient mobility needs. The Preset Tare function deducts the weight of the trolley, bed or wheelchair, delivering an accurate patient-only reading in each case without changing scale configuration between patient types.
Are custom platform dimensions available for specific NHS trust requirements?
Yes. The M-910 is available with custom platform dimensions for trusts whose standard trolley or bed sizes fall outside the range covered by Marsden's standard platform options. This typically arises where a trust uses a specific bariatric bed model with wider than standard castors, or where the physical space available in an admission or A&E area requires a non-standard footprint. Contact Marsden's clinical sales team with your specific trolley or bed dimensions to discuss configuration options.
