Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench
Model: RTL12075
Availability: In Stock
Glide Into the Tub Instead of Scooting
Getting over the side of a bathtub is one of the hardest parts of bathing when mobility is limited. The Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench makes it easier: sit down on the seat outside the tub, then slide smoothly along the frame into the bathing area—no lifting your legs over the tub wall and no scooting across a fixed bench. It’s a practical sliding shower chair for older adults, people recovering from surgery, and the caregivers who help them.
A seat belt adds security during the transfer, and a safety net under the seat catches dropped soap and shampoo so you don’t have to bend over. A removable soap dish keeps essentials close. Seat height adjusts from 21" to 25" in 1/2" increments, the bench supports up to 300 lbs, and it folds flat for storage or travel.

Equipment Specialist Insight: A standard tub transfer bench requires the user to scoot sideways across a fixed seat, which takes upper-body strength and can drag and irritate fragile skin. On a sliding bench, the user stays still while the seat itself moves along the frame, so a caregiver can guide the seat across with far less effort and friction. That makes sliding models a strong choice for users with limited strength, post-surgical restrictions, or delicate skin. Because the frame spans the tub wall, measure your tub and the floor space beside it before ordering, and always secure the seat belt before sliding.
