Marsden V-150 Large Veterinary Scale, 150kg High-Precision, Mobile Vet Scale
- 150kg capacity, 50g high-precision graduations, stainless steel platform, the highest-accuracy 150kg veterinary scale in the Marsden range, with wall-mounted indicator on a bracket, non-slip mat, and integrated wheels for repositioning within the surgery without lifting, meeting RCVS Practice Standards Scheme infection control expectations for veterinary scale surfaces.
- 50g graduation detects smaller weight changes than the V-110, supporting precise weight management monitoring for large breed dogs where 100-200g changes between monthly consultations are clinically meaningful in obesity management, post-operative recovery and chronic disease (CKD, cardiac disease, orthopaedic rehabilitation) weight trend tracking.
- Stainless steel platform cleans and decontaminates effectively between patients, with non-slip mat as standard for animal comfort, supporting the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme veterinary practice hygiene standards that require clinical contact surfaces to be capable of thorough disinfection between each patient use.
- Wall-mounted indicator bracket frees the platform area and positions the weight display at nurse eye level for easy reading during large dog weighing, with wheels allowing the scale to be repositioned from the waiting area to the consulting room without lifting the heavy stainless steel platform.
Marsden V-150: High-Precision Large Veterinary Scale with Stainless Steel Platform and Wall-Mounted Indicator
The Marsden V-150 is the premium large-capacity veterinary scale in the Marsden range below 250kg, combining 150kg capacity with 50g precision, a stainless steel platform, non-slip mat and a wall-mounted indicator, making it the specification for veterinary practices requiring the highest accuracy and infection control standard in their large dog weighing equipment. With wheels for repositioning and a wall-bracket-mounted indicator that clears the platform area and positions the display at staff eye level, the V-150 is configured for the demanding workflow of practices where large dogs are weighed multiple times per day across consulting rooms, nurse clinics and the waiting area.
The stainless steel surface is a specific RCVS Practice Standards Scheme advantage: stainless steel is the reference material for veterinary clinical contact surfaces because it withstands repeated chemical disinfection without surface degradation, unlike ABS plastic platforms that gradually pit and crack with sustained disinfectant exposure.

Veterinary Professional and RCVS Context
RCVS Practice Standards Scheme Core Standards require that veterinary practices maintain clinical equipment to a standard that enables effective cleaning and disinfection between patients, with particular attention to surfaces that come into direct contact with animals. Stainless steel meets this requirement completely: it is non-porous, resistant to corrosion from veterinary disinfectants, easy to visually inspect for contamination and maintains surface integrity over years of repeated cleaning cycles. For practices registered with the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme at any tier - Core Standard, General Practice, or Advanced Practice - the V-150's stainless steel surface supports the infection control compliance documentation requirements of the scheme, particularly in multi-patient high-throughput settings where the scale sees dozens of different animals per day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the wall-mounted indicator a practical advantage for large dog weighing?
A wall-mounted indicator positions the weight display at a fixed point above and away from the platform, where veterinary nurses can read the weight clearly without bending or leaning over the dog on the scale. With a large or anxious dog on the platform, reaching over the animal to read a platform-mounted display creates both a reading difficulty and a risk of startling the dog. The wall bracket also prevents the indicator from being pushed, stepped on or displaced by a large dog moving on the platform, which is a common source of indicator damage and display malfunction in practices using platform-mounted indicators with large dog patients.
What disinfectants are suitable for cleaning the V-150 stainless steel platform between patients?
The V-150's stainless steel platform is compatible with the standard range of veterinary surface disinfectants including quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) based disinfectants, chlorine-based disinfectants and accelerated hydrogen peroxide products used in UK veterinary practices for MRSA and kennel cough decontamination between patients. Consult the specific disinfectant manufacturer's compatibility data before use, and avoid abrasive cleaning materials that can scratch the stainless steel surface. The non-slip mat should be removed and cleaned separately, as mat materials vary in their chemical compatibility. Marsden's cleaning instructions document covers approved cleaning methods for all V-150 components.
