Transfer Plates
Transfer Plates
The transfer plate is designed to help people make a sidewise transfer between a wheelchair and the vehicle’s seat.
Manual Transfer Plates
Simple and reliable devices that provide a sturdy surface to make transfers easier.
Electric Transfer Plate
The plate is powered up and down directly from the vehicle’s battery and is folded up and down manually.
A transfer plate creates a bridge between a wheelchair and vehicle seat, allowing you to slide across rather than stand and pivot. This helps people who have some upper body strength but cannot weight bear through their legs.
We supply manual transfer plates from Jeff Gosling, GuidoSimplex, and Kivi, including tip up and foldable designs. Electric transfer plates are also available for users who need additional assistance. The choice depends on your transfer ability and whether you need the plate to fold away.
Many people use transfer plates independently, though it depends on your upper body strength and balance. We'll demonstrate the technique and help you assess whether you can manage alone or might need some assistance.
