Health Scale FAQs

Medical, fitness and health industries rely on health scales to accurately track patients weight and other metrics.

By regularly tracking these metrics, physicians can better monitor the health and fitness progress of their patients over time.

American Scale offers several different types of health scales for every stage of life, from newborn baby delivery to long term or hospice care. 

There are many different types of health scales on the market, but here are a  few quick examples: 

  • Pediatric Scales – From the earliest beginnings of life, a newborn’s weight is carefully monitored to ensure healthy growth and development. That’s why every baby is weighed with a vigilant eye; so that they can grow strong from an early age.
  • Wheelchair Scales – Caring for the elderly greatly requires an understanding, compassionate approach. By carefully tracking weight gain and loss to anticipate any potential health risks, physicians can ensure that all medications given are tailored precisely according to dosage size. Wheelchair scales feature multiple configurations to offer accurate weighing capabilities so that seniors requiring wheelchair assistance stay secure throughout measurement.
  • Home health scales – The most basic type is a home health scale (typically known as a bathroom scale), which simply measures your weight. These are ideal for weighing family members of all ages in the comfort of your own home. 

Yes. Health scales, just like all scales, require calibration and re-calibration. 

Most health scales need to be calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for how often to calibrate your particular model.

If you’re not sure how to get started, contact a trusted scale service provider who can calibrate the scale for you or perform scheduled scale maintenance so it’s always calibrated regularly per the manufacturer’s guidelines. .

What Our Customers Say

"I received a call from a gentleman at Conway Freight regarding your service at Conway in Louisville.  Apparently he was extremely impressed with the service, repairs and installations American Scale completed at the terminal.  During the years we have been doing national service, this is the first time one of the national accounts has called specifically to compliment a dealer.  He has never walked into a terminal and not called me with some issue that needs to be fixed.  He said a couple times over there was not one little thing wrong with the scales that he could find. I want to thank your for everything you have done to present because American Scale represents Rice Lake and you have made both companies look great!  The gentleman who called is also the person who controls the reweighs and scale purchases for Conway corporate.  With that said, he was impressed!"

"American Scale's technicians are the best I've ever seen. They never stopped working, never goofed off and were very knowledgeable and could answer every question I asked."
Karen Gramm
Regional Manager, ABF Freight
"We are completely satisfied with the service from American Scale and the timely response they have always given us; from first contact with sales through service technicians. We were in dire straits with our previous vendor because they left us hanging with a poor equipment design. ASC came in and fixed their mess so that we now have an operational scale that gets as much traffic per week as any quarry scale might. Once again, they have not let us down when we needed them the most and my management appreciates that level of customer service."
