Model: Mover Plus Transfer Platform (53-302)
Availability: In Stock – Ready to Ship
A Manual Stand-and-Ride Transfer Platform for Short Moves Around the Home or Facility
The Handicare Mover Plus is a manual, non-powered transfer platform for short moves between a bed, chair, wheelchair or toilet. It is for users who can stand on their own or with a little help. The user steps onto the low, non-slip platform, rests their shins against the large padded shin supports and pulls up to standing using the solid crossbar. Once they are upright, the split seat cushions fold down behind them so they can sit while the caregiver wheels the Mover Plus to the new spot, then the cushions fold up again so the user can stand and sit down.
The platform is non-slip marine plywood, and the frame rolls on double front casters and braked rear casters that hold it still while the user stands and sits. It measures 37 by 25.2 inches, is rated to 330 lbs (150 kg) and weighs 65 lbs. There is no battery, motor or sling, so it is always ready to use. For transfers in the shower, see the Mover Aqua, which is built for wet use.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The Mover Plus relies on the user doing the standing: they need to stand unaided or with minimal help and bear their own weight. If they cannot, a powered sit-to-stand or full-body lift is the right tool. Lock the rear brakes before the user stands or sits, keep the user centered over the base throughout, and steer with the handlebars. It is meant for short transfers within the home or facility, not for long trips, and it is not for use in the shower; choose the Mover Aqua for that. A therapist should assess the user and confirm whether one or two caregivers are needed.
