the doran story

Design and Innovation Over 30 years ago, Doran Scales, Inc. created the Digital Electronic Washdown Safe Scale market.  The Doran product line, for the first time, solved the need of food processors who required a durable, yet accurate scale to assist in portioning and packaging product. The food processor environment required a scale that would hold up to high pressure washdown while meeting the exacting accuracy requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The durability of the Doran product line to this day is unmatched by any scale manufacturer in the world.  Our continual design innovations continue to lead the scale market in overload protection, ease of use, flexibility and washdown resistance. Customer Support The single most instrumental factor which established Doran’s strong position in a market previously dominated by a handful of old, established scale manufacturers was a deceptively simple idea: “Provide the best customer service in the industry.”  Attracted by our value leading, durable products, Doran’s network of over 200 industrial scale distributors in North America became long term partners due to Doran’s customer service focus.  Our distributors and end users rely upon our knowledgeable sales technical support team to assist in providing their customers with solutions and  long term support.

the doran advantage

To meet the healthcare industry’s ever-increasing demands for accuracy and durability, clinical scales must now perform better than ever. Doran Scales delivers the weighing products you need with our Healthcare Solutions by Design. Our complete line of clinical scales is the product of over 30 years of scale expertise in designing and manufacturing highly accurate, extremely durable digital weighing systems.

In today’s hectic acute care setting, the last thing the nursing staff needs is a heavy, difficult to maneuver scale. Doran’s DS7100 Hand Rail Scale is lightweight, only 30 lb, yet is capable of weighing up to 1,000 pounds. The DS9100 Wheelchair Scale unfolds easily with the assistance of the built-in hydraulic lift. Key design features prove how a carefully thought out ergonomic design can benefit today’s overwhelmed healthcare professional’s workflow.

Features like Touchless Start automatically begins weighing when the patient steps onto the platform. This significantly speeds up the weighing process and eliminates the risk of cross-contamination. Weight Lock gives the operator an accurate weight with unstable patients. These are just a few of the many useful features you will truly appreciate over any other scale available. Compare our scale’s quality, performance and value to any other on the market and you too will become a believer in Doran.
