Drive Medical Transfer Tub Bench – Reversible & Tool-Free
Maintaining safety and independence in the bathroom is essential for a high quality of life. The Drive Medical Transfer Tub Bench is designed to make entering and exiting the bathtub seamless and secure. By allowing users to sit down outside the tub and slide across into the bathing area, this bench eliminates the need to step over high tub walls, significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls.
This transfer bench is ideal for home use, recovery, and daily living support.
What Is a Transfer Tub Bench and Who Is It For?
A transfer bench provides a stable bridge between the outside of the bathtub and the interior. Unlike a standard shower chair, the wide, blow-molded plastic bench extends over the tub's edge. This allows the user to sit down on the dry side first and safely transition into the tub without losing their balance.
This product is ideal for:
-
Seniors with limited balance or leg strength
-
Individuals recovering from surgery (such as hip or knee replacements)
-
Users with mobility challenges who find stepping over a high bathtub wall difficult
-
Caregivers looking for a safer way to assist with daily bathing routines
It helps promote confidence and safety while reducing the physical strain of getting into the tub.
Reversible Design for Any Bathroom Layout
The bench is fully reversible, meaning the armrest and backrest can be installed on either side. This allows the bench to accommodate any bathroom configuration, whether your bathtub is left-oriented or right-oriented.
Precision Height Adjustability
Stability is key when transferring on wet surfaces. This bench features unique "Dual Column" extension legs that allow you to adjust the height in precise ½" increments. This fine-tuning ensures the seat is perfectly level, providing a solid, wobble-free foundation for every user.
Durable Plastic & Pinch-Free Assembly
The seat and backrest are constructed from high-strength, blow-molded plastic that is durable, non-slip, and easy to clean. The assembly is completely tool-free, featuring a "pinch-free" lever that allows the push pins to be depressed easily without the risk of pinching your fingers.
Enhanced Safety with Suction-Style Tips
To ensure the bench stays firmly in place, the legs are equipped with extra-large, locking suction cups. These tips grip the floor of the tub, providing added security and preventing the bench from shifting while the user is sliding across the seat.

Drive Medical Transfer Tub Bench
A transfer bench only works if it sits above the wall of your tub. Drive publish the range it covers. Your tub is the other half of the sum.
Start here
Measure your tub wall, floor to the top.
This is the one number that decides whether a transfer bench works in your bathroom, and it is the one number nobody can look up for you. It takes about thirty seconds.
- 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 bench has to clear
- ✓Height Adjustment 17.5 to 22.5 inDrive's own row label and figures for model 12011KD-1
- ✓Half inch steps between settingsDrive publish the adjustment in half inch increments on dual column legs
Read the two numbers side by side. A tub wall that came in under 22.5 in has a setting waiting for it above the rim. One that came in over 22.5 in does not, and that is worth knowing now, with a tape in your hand, rather than on the day the box arrives.
iMost people only need the tape once. Tub wall height is fixed for as long as you have the tub, so the number you take today also answers the same question for a sliding bench, a clamp on rail or a bath lift later on.
Off the floor
A five inch window, and your wall decides where you sit in it.
Drive publish the range. Here is what it means once your own measurement goes into the sum, worked in the open.
- +17.5 in, the lowest settingBottom of the Height Adjustment range
- +22.5 in, the highest settingTop of the same range
- =5 in of travel, taken in half inch stepsWhich is the whole window you have to work in
Now put your own number in. A tub wall measured at 15 in leaves 2.5 in of clearance at the lowest setting and 7.5 in at the highest. A wall at 20 in leaves nothing at the bottom of the range and 2.5 in at the top. The bench does not need to sit high above the wall. It needs to sit above it, level, with both outside legs firmly on the floor.
The seat itself is 26 in across and 18.5 to 19.5 in front to back, both Drive's published figures for this model.
iHere is the check that matters. Set the height, then sit on the outside end before you run any water. Both outside legs should be flat on the floor and the seat should not rock at all. If it rocks, one leg is half an inch out, and that is a thirty second fix.
After it is yours
Covered for as long as you own it.
Drive put a Limited Lifetime warranty on this bench, model 12011KD-1. Here is the term exactly as they publish it.
- ✓Limited Lifetime, in Drive's own wordsPrinted on the warranty row against model 12011KD-1
- ✓No end date to watchA lifetime term does not expire, so there is nothing to put in the calendar and no reminder to set
- ✓13.6 lbProduct weight for model 12011KD-1, worth knowing before you plan where it lives
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.
