At only 5.3 lbs, the seca 213 mobile stadiometer is especially suitable for use in the field but also ideal for doctors practices and pediatric hospitals. The measuring rod can be dismantled into several pieces and set up easily and quickly. The spacer keeps the rod straight and stable without any fittings. As the scale is printed along the side of the measuring rod, it is easy to read off the result while measuring, thus guaranteeing precise results up to a height of 81 inches.
