Description
The Doran DS8030 Portable Fold-Up Wheelchair Scale folds down to a compact size that rolls through doorways. Its large low-profile platform is heavy gauge painted steel sheathed in a textured composite cover with an anti-skid surface. Facilities without a dedicated wheelchair weighing room get an 800 lb dual-ramp scale that stores folded and deploys where needed.
- Folds for Storage and Transport – A few twists of the mast locking handles fold the scale, and rubber stabilizer feet keep the folded unit secure.
- Dual Ramp Access – Ramps on the platform let wheelchairs roll on and off in a straight path.
- Seamless Molded Platform Cover – The textured composite surface traps dust and debris and wipes clean quickly.
- WiFi Configuration Available – The WiFi build transmits weight and BMI without a cable connection.
Wheelchair Weighing That Folds Away After Use
The DS8030 platform measures 37 in by 39 in, sized for wheelchair access with a 2.5 in profile that keeps ramp angles gentle. Weight Lock holds the reading through patient movement, and Reweigh takes a second weight while the chair stays on the platform. Tare and BMI controls sit on the indicator with scroll keys, and Units Lock fixes the display in lb or kg. USB and RS-232 ports are standard for EMR transmission, and the WiFi configuration removes the cable entirely. Two large diameter wheels concealed along one side roll the folded scale between storage and the point of care.

Why Choose a Folding Wheelchair Scale
A fixed wheelchair scale consumes a room corner forever, whether or not anyone is being weighed. The DS8030 folds to a rolling storage profile, deploys on dual ramps, and carries a three year warranty.
- Space Returned After Use – The folded scale stores against a wall, which frees floor space between weigh-ins.
- Three Year Warranty – Doran covers the DS8030 for three years of clinical service.
- Straight Roll-Through Path – Dual ramps let chairs enter and exit without turning on the platform.
- Accurate Through Movement – Weight Lock settles the value even when the patient shifts in the chair.
