Description
The Doran DS2100 Mechanical Physician Scale weighs and measures patients without batteries, outlets, or warm-up time. Its flip weighbeam carries pounds on one side and kilograms on the other, so staff read the unit they intend every time. Clinics, schools, and exam rooms that chart height and weight at every visit get a beam scale that is ready the moment a patient steps on.
- 450 lb Capacity – Outweighs competing beam scales by more than 15 percent, so one scale covers nearly every patient.
- Color-Coded Flip Weighbeam – Pounds and kilograms sit on separate color-coded sides, which removes unit mix-ups at the beam.
- Telescoping Height Rod Included – The aluminum rod measures pediatric and adult patients, so height comes from the same station.
- Two Inch Wheels Standard – Large transport wheels ship on the scale instead of as an add-on, which makes room changes simple.
A Beam Scale That Covers Weight and Height in One Stop
The DS2100 pairs a 450 lb weighbeam with an included telescoping height rod, so one station captures both values on a patient chart. Its generously sized platform carries a removable slip-resistant cover that keeps footing secure and lifts off for cleaning. Because the beam needs no power, the scale works in any room, hallway, or school nurse office without cord management. Staff twist the weighbeam to switch between pounds and kilograms, and the color coding on each side guards against reading the wrong unit. For practices that want mechanical reliability with modern capacity, this physician scale keeps intake moving and records consistent.
Features and Benefits
Weighing Performance
- 450 lb Capacity – The beam weighs up to 450 lb in 4 oz graduations, which covers bariatric-leaning panels on a mechanical scale.
- Dual Unit Weighbeam – One side reads lb and the flipped side reads kg, so the unit in view is the unit recorded.
- Slip-Resistant Platform Cover – The removable cover gives patients secure footing and comes off for wipe-down cleaning.
Height Measurement
- Aluminum Telescoping Height Rod – The included rod measures from 24 in to 79 in, spanning child and adult stature at one station.
- Generous Platform – The 10.5 in by 22 in platform gives patients room to stand naturally while the beam settles.
Mobility and Build
- Powder Coated Steel Construction – The painted steel frame stands up to daily clinic traffic and routine cleaning.
- Standard Two Inch Wheels – Built-in wheels let one staff member roll the scale between rooms without a cart.

Why Choose a Mechanical Scale with Modern Capacity
Most beam scales stop well short of 450 lb, which forces a second scale for heavier patients. The DS2100 closes that gap with a weighbeam rated 15 percent above competing models, an included height rod, and wheels that are standard rather than optional.
- Higher Capacity Beam – A 450 lb rating covers more of the panel on one mechanical scale, which cuts equipment duplication.
- No Power Needed – The beam works anywhere with no batteries to stock and no adapter to lose, so uptime is total.
- Unit Error Guard – Color-coded beam sides make a kg for lb mix-up unlikely, which protects chart accuracy.
- One Year Warranty – Doran backs the scale with a one year warranty for daily clinical use.
