Bariatric Yoke Spreader Bar with Integrated Weigh Scale

The Bariatric Yoke Spreader Bar with Integrated Weigh Scale combines the same heavy-duty, four-point loop attachment yoke used for bariatric hoisting with a built-in weighing function, allowing staff to obtain an accurate patient weight during a routine hoist transfer rather than needing a separate weighing procedure. This is particularly valuable for bariatric patients, who often cannot safely or comfortably use standard bathroom or chair scales, making the hoist-integrated scale a practical way to track weight changes as part of ongoing clinical monitoring. Like the standard bariatric yoke, it spreads the sling's load across four attachment points for a wider, more stable lifting platform, which helps balance heavier patients and reduces strain on individual sling loops during the lift. The bar is constructed from reinforced metal with a smooth, durable protective cover to prevent injury to the patient and wear to the sling fabric, and is rated to a 320kg safe working load to match bariatric-capable hoists. The digital or mechanical scale readout is typically built into the bar's housing and should be checked periodically for calibration accuracy per the manufacturer's servicing schedule. As with any bariatric hoist accessory, the yoke, sling, and hoist ratings must all be verified as compatible, and the unit should only be used by trained staff following the equipment's operating instructions.
