Marsden M-955: Class III Approved Bed Scale for Double Castor and Bariatric Beds
The Marsden M-955 is the specialist pad-based bed weighing system for double castor beds, including Medstrom bariatric models, where the wider castor spacing prevents standard pad systems from reaching all four wheels. With Class III approval under the NAWI Directive and a choice of 600kg or 1000kg capacity, the M-955 delivers the same clinical-grade accuracy as the M-950 in high-dependency bariatric environments where accurate weight is essential for safe drug dosing and nutritional monitoring.
The M-955 comes with a trolley as standard, allowing complete system transport between wards, and carry handles on each pad support single-person setup without additional manual handling risk.

Regulatory and Clinical Compliance
Class III approval under the NAWI Directive confirms the M-955 is authorised for clinical patient monitoring, diagnosis and treatment in NHS and regulated care settings. The extended pad design addresses a specific gap in bariatric bed weighing: Medstrom and similar double castor bariatric beds cannot be accurately weighed with standard four-pad systems due to pad clearance limitations, creating a clinical risk where estimated rather than measured patient weights are used for drug dosing. The M-955 eliminates this risk. LOLER-compliant setup via carry-handle pads supports single-person operation without excessive manual handling load.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the M-955 differ from the M-950 and when should it be specified?
The M-955 has longer weighing pads than the standard M-950, designed specifically to accommodate the wider castor spacing of double castor beds including Medstrom bariatric models. If your ward or care home uses double castor beds and standard M-950 pads cannot reach all four castors simultaneously, the M-955 is the correct specification. Both models share the same indicator, functions and connectivity options.
Is a trolley included with the M-955 or does it need to be purchased separately?
A trolley is included as standard with the M-955, unlike the M-950 where it is an optional extra. The trolley allows all four weighing pads and the indicator to be stored and transported between wards as a complete unit, which is particularly useful in multi-ward bariatric care environments where the scale may be shared across clinical areas and needs to be moved quickly between weighing sessions.
