Drive Medical Padded Transfer Bench
A padded bench bridges the tub wall, which means half of it has to stand in the room. The room is the part worth measuring.
Start here
Measure the clear floor beside your tub.
A transfer bench is the one piece of bath equipment that does not fit inside the tub. Part of it stands on the bathroom floor, and that floor is what nobody has measured yet.
- 1Stand beside the tub, facing itThis is about the floor of the room rather than the inside of the tub
- 2Measure straight out from the tub wallFrom the outside face of the tub to the first thing in the way, a toilet, a vanity, the opposite wall
- 3Measure along the tub, starting at the tap endHow much clear run of floor there is beside it, with nothing standing on it
- 4Write both numbers downOut from the tub, and along it. Those two describe the space the bench has to live in
- ✓Seat 24 in wideSeat width for model 12005KD-1
- ✓Seat 16 in deepSeat depth, front to back
Drive publish the seat, not the frame. There is no published overall width and no published height range for this model.
Compare the pair. The bench has to bridge the wall of the tub, so part of the 24 in seat stands over the water and part of it stands in the room. The clear floor you just measured is what has to carry the outside part of it, along with the two legs underneath.
iClear that floor before delivery day. A mat, a scale or a bin beside the tub is easy to move now and awkward to move with a box in your hands. The two numbers you just took tell you exactly how much floor has to stay empty.
