A Stable Bridge for Heavier Transfers
Moving from a bed to a wheelchair, or from a chair to a car seat, is far safer when there's a solid surface to slide across instead of a lift or a stand. The DMI Bariatric Transfer Board is built for exactly that, strong enough to support up to 735 lb while still staying light enough to handle easily.
The board is made of smooth, durable 3/4" Southern yellow pine, sealed and coated so the surface glides easily and wipes clean. Two cut-out handles give the user or caregiver a secure place to grip when carrying the board or steadying it during a transfer. At 10" x 32", it's wider and longer than standard boards, giving a bariatric user more surface and more confidence across the gap.
Key Features
- Supports up to 735 lb
- Smooth, durable 3/4" Southern yellow pine construction
- Sealed and coated surface for easier transfers and easier cleaning
- Two cut-out handles for easy carrying or gripping
- Works for transfers to and from a bed, wheelchair, chair, car, or commode
- Generous 10" x 32" size
A transfer board only works if both ends are resting securely on stable surfaces, so it's worth checking that the wheelchair brakes are locked and the board spans the gap with a good amount of overlap at each end before anyone slides across. This bariatric size is intended for higher-weight users and is wider than DMI's standard 8" boards, which is a useful distinction because the standard boards in this line are rated to 440 lb rather than 735 lb. Wood is a natural material, so it's best to inspect the board periodically for splinters, cracks, or surface wear before use.
