Transfer Boards
Transfer boards make it easier to move a user safely between a wheelchair, bed, chair or car. They reduce the physical strain on both the user and the carer.
Transfer boards — how to choose
A transfer board makes it easier to move a user safely between a wheelchair and a bed, chair or car seat. It reduces the physical strain on both the user and the carer and lowers the risk of injury.
What to look for
- Length and shape — choose by the transfer distance and situation.
- Maximum load — check that the board is rated for the user’s weight.
- Surface — a sliding surface eases movement, non-slip elements provide stability.

Frequently asked questions
How is a transfer board used?
The board is placed between two surfaces (for example, a wheelchair and a bed), and the user slides across it, reducing the need for lifting. Transfers can be done independently or with a carer’s help.
