Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench

Description

Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench

The Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench is a versatile bathroom safety aid designed to make entering and exiting a bathtub easier for users who have difficulty stepping safely over the tub wall. Instead of requiring the user to move across a fixed bench, the seat is designed to slide left and right along the frame, helping support a smoother seated transfer.

The RTL12075 combines a sliding seat, adjustable height, folding frame, safety belt, storage net, removable soap dish and a 300 lb maximum weight capacity in one practical bathroom-safety solution.

Sliding Seat for Easier Tub Transfers

One of the main features of the Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench is its sliding seating system.

The seat travels from one side of the frame to the other, allowing the user to sit outside the bathtub before sliding toward the bathing area.

This can reduce the amount of stepping, twisting and repositioning required compared with entering a bathtub while standing.

The bench should always be installed and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and assistance should be provided when appropriate for the user’s mobility level.

Adjustable Seat Height

The bench provides height adjustment in approximately ½-inch increments.

Drive lists the overall adjustable height range at approximately 21 inches to 25 inches.

The ability to fine-tune the bench height can help accommodate different bathtub configurations and user requirements while helping create a more comfortable transfer position.

Folding Design for Storage and Travel

Unlike many traditional transfer benches that remain fully assembled, the Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench can fold flat.

This is particularly useful when the bench needs to be stored temporarily, transported between locations, or taken along when travelling.

The folding design can also be beneficial in bathrooms where equipment needs to be removed when not in use.

Seat Belt Included

A seat belt is included as standard equipment.

The belt is designed to provide additional seated security while using the transfer bench.

It should be positioned and adjusted correctly according to Drive Medical’s instructions and should never replace appropriate supervision or transfer assistance when required.

Safety Net for Personal Items

The bench includes a safety net underneath the seat.

This net can catch lightweight personal items that may be dropped during bathing, reducing the need for the user to bend down and retrieve them from the bathtub floor.

This small feature can add convenience for individuals with limited balance, flexibility or lower-body mobility.

Removable Soap Dish

A removable soap dish is also included with the RTL12075.

This provides a convenient location for soap or other lightweight bathing items while helping keep commonly used items within reach.

Because the dish is removable, it can also be taken off for cleaning or when it is not required.

Spacious 22.5″ × 18.5″ Seat

The seating surface measures approximately 22.5 inches wide × 18.5 inches deep.

This provides a generous seating area during transfers and bathing.

Customers should always compare the dimensions of the bench with their bathtub, bathroom layout and individual positioning requirements before purchase.

Lightweight 16 lb Construction

Despite its sliding and folding design, the complete transfer bench weighs approximately 16 lb.

This relatively manageable weight can make the unit easier for caregivers or family members to reposition, fold and store when necessary.

The manufacturer lists the carton shipping weight at approximately 38 lb.

300 lb Weight Capacity

The Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench supports users weighing up to 300 lb when correctly assembled and used according to manufacturer instructions.

The user should remain within the stated capacity, and the bench should be routinely inspected for secure adjustment, stable feet, proper seat operation and overall condition.

Made Using Recycled Materials

Drive Medical states that the RTL12075 incorporates recycled materials in its construction.

This feature does not change the normal care and safety requirements of the bench but forms part of Drive’s product design for this model.

Home-Care Bathroom Support

The combination of a sliding seat, adjustable height, seat belt, safety net and folding design makes this transfer bench a useful option for users whose mobility makes stepping directly into a bathtub difficult.

It may be appropriate for older adults, individuals recovering from injury or surgery, and people with mobility limitations who require additional bathroom support.

The specific setup should always be selected according to the user’s needs and bathroom configuration.
