The seca leicester is particularly suitable for mobile use, e.g. for measuring children and teenagers in the course of medical examinations at schools. The measuring rod which can be dismantled into several pieces is easy to transport and can be set up anywhere in no time at all. A stable floor plate provides the necessary stability and the easy to read scale along the side of the measuring rod means that the height can be read easily. Once dismantled, the mobile stadiometer can be stored away compactly and easily transported in this tailor-made transport box with handle.
