Description
The Doran DS7040 Waist High Handrail Scale mounts a welded tubular steel handrail to a generous low-profile platform. Patients grasp the rail at its ideal height while Weight Lock settles the reading, and the platform surface is non-skid edge to edge. Offices that weigh unsteady patients all day get 800 lb of capacity with a waist-high readout and built-in transport wheels.
- Welded Tubular Steel Handrail – The rail is part of the scale structure, so support is always in place at the platform.
- 800 lb Capacity – Graduations of 0.2 lb hold across a bariatric-ready range on a waist-high station.
- Edge to Edge Non-Skid Platform – The full surface grips footwear, which steadies patients during the reading.
- WiFi Configuration Available – Choose the WiFi build to send weight and BMI to the EMR without a cable.
Handrail Support at a Waist-High Station
The DS7040 stands 44.5 in tall with its indicator at waist height, so staff read results without bending over a platform display. Large diameter foot pads keep the scale planted when patients step on and off, and two built-in non-marking wheels roll it between rooms. An included wall mount transformer powers the station, and standard RS-232 and USB ports send weight and BMI to an EMR or EHR system. Units Lock fixes the display unit, and Reweigh captures a second reading while the patient remains on the platform. Battery operation on six AA cells returns about 20,000 weighments when an outlet is not convenient.

Why Choose the DS7040 Handrail Scale
Patients who need support often get weighed on a plain platform and a staff arm, which serves neither safety nor accuracy. The DS7040 builds the rail into the scale, holds readings through movement, and backs the station with a two year warranty.
- Support at Every Weigh-In – The fixed handrail is present for every patient, which removes setup decisions.
- Bariatric Capacity – 800 lb of range covers the full panel on one station, which ends scale swapping.
- Two Year Warranty – Doran covers the DS7040 for two years of clinical use.
- Room to Room Wheels – Built-in wheels move the scale without a cart, so one station can serve several rooms.
