Description
A tub transfer bench with a seat that swivels and slides, so a person can sit down outside the tub and be moved in without lifting their legs over the wall.
Who is this bench for?
- People who cannot step over a tub wall safely, and the family who help them.
- Someone who turns slowly or needs to rest before the slide: the seat locks every 90 degrees.
- It is not a shower chair for a stall with no tub. Choose a folding sliding bench if you need to store it flat.
Will it fit your tub?
- Measure the tub wall height from the floor. The maker's limit is 18.5 in (47 cm).
- Measure the width of the room beside the tub: the legs stand 39.5 in (100 cm) apart.
- Check the flat floor inside the tub for the two inside legs.
- Book a free home assessment if the bathroom is tight.
How does a sliding transfer bench work?
- Two legs stand in the tub, two outside, with the seat set level across the wall.
- Sit on the outside end, buckle the safety belt, swivel to face the tub, and slide the seat 15 in (38 cm) across.
- The arm rail removes and the bench fits either side, so you can set it for left or right entry.
What are its limits?
- Rated 400 lb (181 kg). For a heavier person, see the Drive bariatric transfer bench.
- Check the suction cup leg ends and seat locks before every transfer.
- If a sliding glass door track runs along the tub, ask us first: the legs need a clear edge.
Frequently asked questions
Can the seat be locked while someone is washing?
Yes. The seat locks every 90 degrees, so it holds still facing the tub or the room. Test the lock before sitting.
Does it suit a tub on the left or the right?
Either. The bench fits either side and the arm rail comes off, so it can be set for left or right entry.
Is it hard to put together at home?
No tools are needed. We also deliver and set it up across Toronto and the GTA.
What if my tub wall is taller than 18.5 in?
This bench will not clear it. Call us and we can look at other benches or the bathroom changes we plan.
