MOBB Sliding Bath Transfer Bench

MOBB Sliding Bath Transfer Bench (MHSLBB)

The MOBB Sliding Bath Transfer Bench is designed to make bathing safer and more accessible for individuals with limited mobility. Unlike standard benches that require the user to "scoot" across the surface, this bench features a smooth-gliding seat that slides along a rail system. This allows the user to sit down outside the tub and glide effortlessly into the bathing area, significantly reducing the risk of falls or skin shearing during transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the sliding mechanism work? The seat is mounted on a rail. Once the user is seated and the safety belt is fastened, they (or a caregiver) engage the sliding motion to move the seat from the exterior of the tub to the interior.

Is the seat locked while I am showering? Yes, the bench features a brake system that allows you to lock the seat in place so it doesn't slide back and forth while you are bathing.

Can this be used in a small bathroom? Because a portion of the bench must sit outside the tub to facilitate the transfer, you should ensure there is enough floor space next to your bathtub for the exterior legs to sit level.

Do I need tools to put it together? No, this model is designed for tool-free assembly, making it easy to set up or disassemble for storage or travel.

Does it fit all tubs? The legs are height-adjustable, allowing it to clear the walls of most standard bathtubs. It is always recommended to measure the height of your tub wall before purchase.

Cautions

Always ensure the safety belt is securely fastened before sliding the seat. Verify that the seat is locked in the brake position before sitting down or standing up. Ensure all four legs are set to the same height and that the suction cups are firmly attached to a clean, flat surface. Do not exceed the 300 lb weight capacity. Regularly clean the sliding rails to ensure the seat moves smoothly.
