Description
The Raz AP600 is a heavy-duty, attendant-propelled mobile shower commode chair for showering and toileting. It has an electro-polished stainless steel frame, a 23 in (58 cm) wide moulded seat and a 605 lb (275 kg) rating with the right casters.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Frame: electro-polished stainless steel; 22 in (56 cm) seat and back frame.
- Seat: 23 in (58 cm) wide moulded foam; seat depth adjusts 2 in (5 cm), from 17 to 19 in (43 to 48 cm).
- Back: adjustable-tension fabric in a multi-position back with centre-of-gravity adjustment.
- Arms and footrests: flip-up padded arms 9.5 in (24 cm) above the seat; footrests swing out and adjust without tools.
- Casters: four dual-locking casters; 5 in (13 cm) for users up to 400 lb (181 kg), 6 in (15 cm) above that.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits a heavier person who needs an attendant to push the chair and help with transfers.
- It suits shower and toilet use; the seat locks for a transfer and lifts out for cleaning.
- Choose the RAZ SP600 for self-propulsion or the RAZ AT600 for tilt; this AP600 does neither.
Will it fit?
- Overall width: 26.75 in (68 cm), length 37.25 in (95 cm) with the footrests, and a 41.5 in (105 cm) minimum turning circle.
- Seat height: 19 to 23 in (48 to 58 cm) with 5 in casters, or 20 to 24 in (51 to 61 cm) with 6 in casters, in 1 in (2.5 cm) steps.
- Clearance width: 16 in (41 cm) between the frames.
- Measure the doorway, the turn and the shower entry; book a free home assessment.
Using it day to day
- An attendant pushes it, including on a ramp no steeper than 1:12.
- Lock all four casters with the front casters forward before a transfer; they are not brakes.
- Do not use the footplates to help a transfer; swing them aside instead.
Which version should I choose?
- Frame width: the 22 in (56 cm) seat and back frame is standard; wider frames are separate codes on the quote.
- Caster size: 5 in (13 cm) up to 400 lb (181 kg), 6 in (15 cm) above that, up to 605 lb (275 kg).
- Seat front: open or bridged.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It carries 605 lb (275 kg) with the matching casters and weighs 54.5 to 56.5 lb (25 to 27 kg).
- Two years on the frame, one year on other parts, lifetime against corrosion; see the Warranty tab.

How does it compare?
- The RAZ AT600 adds tilt in space for a person who cannot sit upright for long.
- The RAZ SP600 has rear wheels the user can self-propel.
- A wheeled commode is lighter for bedside use but not built for the shower.
