Description
The Drive Deluxe Bariatric Drop-Arm Commode, part 11135-1, is a heavy-duty steel bedside commode rated to 1000 lb (454 kg). Its padded arms drop one at a time for a side transfer, and the pail slides out from the front.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Seat: 23.25 by 18.5 in (59 by 47 cm), large and snap-on, with an oval opening and a small notch at the front.
- Capacity: 1000 lb (454 kg).
- Arms: padded, and each one releases and swings down for a transfer from the side.
- Legs: four push-button extensions, 17.5 to 22 in (44 to 56 cm) seat height, with rubber tips.
- Width between legs: 26 in (66 cm).
- Pail: 12 qt (11.4 L) with a cover, sliding in and out from the front.
- Build: grey powder-coated steel tubing, 21 lb (9.5 kg), with no wheels and no fold.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For a heavy person who needs a bedside commode and a side transfer from a bed or wheelchair.
- Under 650 lb and needing a fold, choose the Drive 11117N-1.
- For a standard 300 lb drop-arm chair, choose the Drive 11125KD-1.
- For showering, a steel commode is not the choice; see shower commodes.
Will it fit?
- The leg gap is 26 in (66 cm); a toilet has to fit between the legs with the seat clearing the bowl.
- Seat height runs 17.5 to 22 in, and all four legs go into the same hole.
- Check the doorway and the space beside the bed, or book a free home assessment and we measure.
Using it day to day
- Snap the seat clamps onto the back frame rail, outside the pail brackets, and push down until they click.
- Set all four legs to the same height, make sure every button is fully through its hole, then push and pull each leg to check it is locked.
- All four rubber tips must touch the floor; check them for rips or wear and replace any that are worn.
- Tighten the screws, nuts and bolts, and supervise a user with limited strength.
- Slide the pail in from the front and lift it out the same way.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It is a stationary bedside commode with no wheels and no folding frame.
- Drive lists no splash guard for this model.
- Drive Medical covers the frame for life; see the Warranty tab for terms.
- Bathroom safety items are non-returnable under our return policy, so measure first.
How does it compare?
The 11117N-1 folds and carries 650 lb; the 11125KD-1 is the standard-size drop-arm chair at 300 lb. The rest are under commodes.
Frequently asked questions
Do the arms drop independently?
Yes. Each padded arm releases and swings down on its own for a side transfer.
Can it go over the toilet?
Only if the bowl fits in the 26 in leg gap and the seat clears the rim at the lowest hole. There is no splash guard.
Does it fold for transport?
No. This frame is rigid and the legs stay on.
Where does the pail sit?
Under the seat, sliding in and out from the front; the cover comes off with it.
