Safer Bathing, With Less Strain on Everyone
Getting in and out of a tub or shower is one of the riskiest daily activities for anyone with limited mobility. The DMI Heavy-Duty Sliding Transfer Bench takes the danger out of that transition, with a seat that slides side-to-side to minimize physical strain on both the user and the caregiver assisting them.
The blow-molded plastic seat and back feature a textured, non-slip surface for comfort and stability, supported by a durable, rust-resistant aluminum frame. A removable cut-out section allows for easier perineal access during bathing, and adjustable legs with suction cup, slip-resistant tips help keep the bench stable and in place. A hook and loop safety belt plus a nylon strap lock the seat securely, adding extra layers of safety, and the entire bench assembles without tools, with the seat configurable for a right or left install.

The sliding seat mechanism is the key feature setting this apart from a standard, stationary transfer bench — instead of lifting or pivoting into position, the user can slide across the seat, which meaningfully reduces the physical effort required from both the user and any caregiver assisting. The suction-cup leg tips provide stability without permanent mounting, but it's worth confirming a clean, smooth tub surface for a secure grip, similar to other suction-based bath equipment. At 14.5 lb, this bench is also easy to move or store when not needed.
