The only wheelchair that slides sideways around your patient — no manual lifting needed. 180° split seat, hydraulic height adjustment, built-in commode, and lockable double-lock castors.
A Transfer Wheelchair (also called a Patient Lift Chair or Lateral Transfer Chair) is a specialised medical mobility device designed to move patients who cannot stand — from a bed to a chair, toilet, sofa, or shower — without any manual lifting by the caregiver.
Unlike standard wheelchairs, the transfer chair's seat splits open 180° and slides laterally around the patient, who remains seated on the bed's edge. A hydraulic foot pump then adjusts the seat height to exactly match the bed, creating a flush, level surface for a smooth, safe lateral transfer — zero strain on the caregiver's back.
Available on rent in Ranchi at ₹5,000/month with a fully refundable deposit of ₹10,000. Our technician delivers, assembles, and provides a complete live demonstration at your home.

Watch how the 180° split seat works and how a caregiver performs a safe, effortless bed-to-chair transfer.
The seat opens fully and slides laterally around the patient — eliminating the need to manually lift them. The chair comes to the patient, not the reverse.
A foot pedal pump adjusts seat height from 40 cm to 57 cm to precisely match any bed, sofa, or toilet height — creating a flat, level surface for smooth lateral transfer.
Detachable commode bucket integrated into the seat for convenient bedside toileting or over-toilet use. Eliminates the need for a separate commode chair.
All four wheels have individual locks plus a double-lock safety strap. Swivel rear castors for tight-space maneuverability; lockable front castors for stationary safety.
Rust-resistant reinforced steel frame — the chair rolls directly into a shower or bathroom without risk of corrosion or structural damage.
Requires only 12 cm clearance underneath — slides smoothly under most standard hospital beds, home beds, and furniture for effortless approach positioning.
After orthopaedic, abdominal, or cardiac surgery — patients who cannot stand or bear weight benefit from lateral transfer.
Hemiplegic or paraplegic patients who need frequent repositioning between bed, wheelchair, and toilet.
Elderly patients with reduced leg strength who cannot safely pivot during transfers without fall risk.
Patients discharged from ICU who are weak and require nurse/caregiver-assisted transfers at home.
Hip fracture, pelvic fracture, and trauma patients who must avoid weight-bearing on affected limbs.
Patients weighing up to 150 kg who are difficult to manually lift — the hydraulic system handles all the work.
The Transfer Wheelchair works best within its design parameters. Please review these before booking.
This chair reduces caregiver strain but does not replace them. A trained caregiver must operate the lift and guide the patient during every transfer.
Patients cannot self-operate this chair. It is a caregiver-assisted transfer device — not a self-propelled wheelchair for daily independent mobility.
Maximum patient weight is 150 kg. Exceeding this limit may damage the hydraulic system and compromise patient safety.
The base requires 12 cm clearance beneath the bed. Platform beds or beds with solid bases may not allow the chair to slide underneath.
Designed for flat, smooth indoor surfaces. Cannot be used on stairs, steep ramps (>5°), or rough outdoor terrain.
The rental unit is manual hydraulic — not electrically powered. Electric transfer chair variants are not currently in our Ranchi inventory.
