Befour’s Commitment to ADA Compliance

Accessibility Meets USA-Made Quality

American-Made ADA-Compliant Wheelchair Scale

Befour, Inc. introduces the only American-made, ADA compliant wheelchair scale that folds into a compact and portable package. Designed to meet the latest Medical Diagnostic Equipment (MDE) standards and engineered with both the patient and caregiver in mind, Befour’s MX480D-ADA scale is a proven choice for ADA compliance.

Designed for Portability

The MX480D-ADA wheelchair scale was designed to make portability effortless and safe. The two extra-large ramps fold flat reducing the overall footprint of the scale when in transport mode. The scale is self-supporting with a 12” base that rolls on four hidden wheels, two of which pivot for easy maneuvering. The compact mobility is not only convenient, but safer for staff to move from room to room.

Per the latest MDE Standards, published by the U.S. Access Board:

Starting August 9, 2026: State and local government entities that use weight scales must have at least one weight scale that meets the MDE Standards.
