Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench – Compact & Secure
Maintaining safety in the bathroom shouldn't mean sacrificing space or convenience. The Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench is an innovative solution designed for smooth, effortless entry into the bathtub. By sliding the seat along the sturdy frame, users can transition into the tub without the friction or physical strain associated with traditional stationary benches.
This sliding transfer bench is ideal for home use, travel, and recovery support.
What Is a Sliding Transfer Bench and Who Is It For?
A sliding transfer bench features a seat that glides left and right on a track, allowing the user to sit down on the bench outside the tub and smoothly slide into the bathing area. This unique mechanism is particularly helpful for those with limited upper body strength or significant mobility restrictions who find "shuffling" across a standard bench difficult.
This product is ideal for:
-
Seniors who need a frictionless way to enter the bathtub
-
Individuals with limited mobility who require maximum assistance during transfers
-
Frequent travelers who need a portable safety solution that folds flat
-
Small bathrooms where a permanent, bulky fixture is not practical
It helps promote a higher level of independence while minimizing the risk of falls and skin shearing during movement.
Smooth Sliding Mechanism for Effortless Entry
The standout feature of this bench is the smooth-gliding seat that moves along the frame. Once the user is seated, they can simply slide themselves (or be assisted) into the tub, providing a much more comfortable and dignified experience than lifting and shifting.
Folds Flat for Storage and Travel
Unlike standard transfer benches that can be difficult to store, this universal model folds completely flat. This makes it an excellent choice for those who only need the bench occasionally or for families who travel and want to ensure bathroom safety is available wherever they go.
Safety-Focused Features Included
Safety is built into every detail of this bench. It comes standard with a seat belt for added security during the sliding process. It also features a unique safety net located under the seat to catch dropped personal items like soap or sponges, preventing the user from needing to bend over and risk losing their balance.
Customizable and Convenient Design
The bench height adjusts in ½" increments, ensuring a level and stable fit in almost any bathtub environment. For added convenience, it also includes a removable soap dish, keeping bathing essentials within easy reach at all times.

Drive Medical Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench
The seat slides instead of asking you to shuffle. Before that helps, it has to sit above your tub wall, and this one starts higher than most.
Start here
Measure your tub wall, floor to the top.
Every transfer bench lives or dies on this one number, and it is the number nobody can look up for you. On this bench it matters twice over, because the range starts high.
- 1Stand outside the tub, on the bathroom floorThis is taken from the room side, not from inside the tub
- 2Put the end of the tape on the floor, against the tubRight where the outside face of the tub meets the floor
- 3Run it straight up to the top of the wallStop at the highest point of the rim, not at the tiles above it
- 4Read the number and write it downThat is your tub wall height, and it is what the seat has to clear
- ✓Height 21 to 25 inDrive's own row label and figures for model RTL12075
- ✓Half inch steps between settingsDrive publish the seat height as adjusting in half inch increments
The 21 in floor is the part to read twice. This bench cannot be set lower than that, so a low sided tub gives you a seat that stands well proud of the rim. A tub wall between 21 in and 25 in is the shape this bench was drawn for, and that is a range worth checking before anything else.
iTake the tape to the tub once and you are covered. Wall height does not change, so the number answers this bench, the fixed transfer benches, a clamp on rail and a bath lift, all from one reading.
Off the floor
A four inch window, starting higher than most.
Drive publish the range. Here is what it comes to once your own measurement goes into the sum, worked in the open.
- +21 in, the lowest settingBottom of the Height range for RTL12075
- +25 in, the highest settingTop of the same range
- =4 in of travel, taken in half inch stepsThe whole window you have to work in
Now put your own number in. A tub wall measured at 15 in leaves 6 in of clearance even at the lowest setting, which is a long step up for the person sitting down outside. A wall at 20 in leaves 1 in at the bottom of the range and 5 in at the top. A wall at 24 in sits neatly inside the window with a setting either side of it.
The seat itself is 22.5 in across and 18.5 in front to back, both Drive's published figures, and it is the part that travels along the frame rather than the whole bench moving.
iHere is the check that matters. Set the height, then sit on the outside end and slide once, dry, before any water goes in. The seat should move without the frame shifting under you and stop where the lock catches. If the frame moves, a leg is half an inch out and it is a quick fix.
After it is yours
Covered for as long as you own it.
Drive put a Limited Lifetime warranty on this bench, model RTL12075. Here is the term exactly as they publish it.
- ✓Limited Lifetime, in Drive's own wordsPrinted on the warranty row against model RTL12075
- ✓No end date to watchA lifetime term does not expire, so there is nothing to put in the calendar and no reminder to set
- ✓A removable soap dish and a safety netDrive publish both as standard on this model, and both are the sort of part worth knowing you already have
Drive publish the term and not the conditions behind it. We print the term exactly as it stands rather than paraphrase conditions nobody has written down.
iWorth keeping: your Care Made order confirmation. It carries the date and the model number, which is where any warranty claim begins. Hold on to that email and there is nothing else for you to do.
