Description
The Drive Drop Arm Steel Commode with Padded Seat, part 11125PSKD-1, is a steel bedside commode with a padded open-front vinyl seat and two arms that each release and swing down for a side transfer. Drive rates it to 300 lb (136 kg) and lists three uses: bedside commode, raised toilet seat and toilet safety frame.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Seat: 15.25 by 16.75 in (39 by 43 cm), padded vinyl, open at the front.
- Arms: padded drop arms, each with its own release lever, with 19 in (48 cm) between them.
- Legs: four push-button extensions setting the seat 19 to 23 in (48 to 58 cm) above the floor.
- Pail: a 12 qt (11.4 L) bucket with a lid and carry handle, plus a splash shield for over-toilet use.
- Build: grey steel frame joined with brass push pins; 21 lb (9.5 kg); no wheels or fold.
- Capacity: 300 lb (136 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For a bedside commode with a softer seat and a side transfer from a bed or wheelchair.
- For a hard plastic seat, choose the Drive 11125KD-1.
- For drop arms plus wheels, choose the Drive 11101W-2.
- For a heavier user, the bariatric 11135-1 carries 1000 lb.
- For showering, use a shower commode rather than this steel frame.
Will it fit?
- Over a toilet, the seat has to clear the bowl at the lowest setting and the back rail has to clear the tank.
- The opening between the arms is 19 in (48 cm); check the user's width and the space beside the bed.
- Book a free home assessment and we check the toilet and the room with you.
Using it day to day
- Join the sections with the brass push pins, insert the backrest, and snap the seat clamps onto the back rail, outside the pail brackets.
- Set all four legs to the same hole, check every button is through, and push and pull each leg to confirm it is locked.
- Keep the seat down before use; Drive warns the commode can break and injure someone if it is used with the seat up.
- Drop the pail in for bedside use, or take it out and fit the splash shield over a toilet.
- Tighten the hardware, replace worn tips and keep all four on the floor.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It carries 300 lb (136 kg) and has no wheels and no folding frame.
- 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 11125KD-1 uses a hard seat; the 11101W-2 adds wheels. All are under commodes.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be used over a toilet?
Yes, with the pail out and the splash shield fitted. Check the seat clears the bowl and the back rail clears the tank.
Do both arms drop?
Each padded arm has its own release lever, so you can drop only the side you transfer from.
Is the pail included?
Yes. The 12 qt bucket with its lid and carry handle comes in the carton, along with the splash shield.
Does it fold or have wheels?
No. It ships knocked down in sections joined by push pins, and it stands on four rubber-tipped legs.
