Description
The Drive padded transfer bench, item 12005KD-1, is a cushioned seat and back that spans the tub so a person can sit, then move into the bath. Drive rates it for 400 lb (181 kg).
What does it do and how does it work?
- The seat and the back are cushioned.
- An A-frame holds the seat. Height moves in 1/2 in (1.3 cm) steps on dual-column legs.
- The back, the legs and the one arm go on with push pins, and the setup is tool-free. A cover over each pin keeps fingers clear. It ships knocked down.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits someone who sits to move from outside the tub to inside, at or under 400 lb (181 kg).
- Choose the 12005KDC-1 when the seat needs an opening and a pail.
- Choose the 12011KD-1 when a hard seat matters more than a cushion.
- Over 400 lb (181 kg), the 12025KD-1 is the bariatric bench.
Will it fit?
The seat is 24 in wide by 16 in deep (61.0 by 40.6 cm). The bench weighs 11.75 lb (5.3 kg).
- Set the legs so the bench sits level, then check that height against the tub rim.
- Two large suction-cup legs go on the arm side, inside the tub. Two small rubber tips stay outside.
- The arm has to arc outward, not in toward the seat.
- The back reverses for a left or a right entry. Its tubes must pass through both sets of receptacles.
Using it day to day
- Sit on the outside half, then slide across into the tub.
- A pull tab on each suction cup releases it from the tub floor.
- Replacement cups are separate parts: 12011SL for the large cups and 12011SS for the small cups.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- This model has no commode opening.
- Limited lifetime warranty; see the Warranty tab.
How does it compare?
- Transfer benches lists the other tub benches we sell.
- A free home assessment can check whether this cushion sits too high for the tub.
- Read the return policy before a used bench comes back.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a commode opening in this seat?
No. This is the padded bench. The version with an opening and a pail is the 12005KDC-1.
How does the back reverse?
The back lifts out and passes through both sets of receptacles, so the entry can be on the left or the right.
Does the lifetime cover rubber parts?
No. The cover is for the original purchaser, and rubber parts are excluded.
