Manual Transfer Plates
A manual transfer plate simply slots into place to provide a static, temporary platform on the outer edge of the seat on which to pause and pivot from a wheelchair. -
Electronic Transfer Plates
A stable platform bridging the gap between wheelchair and car seat, an electronic transfer plate can move up and down to the desired height for an effortless entry and exit.
Who can benefit from our transfer plates?
Transfer plates are particularly useful for individuals who have difficulty lifting their legs or moving from a sitting to a standing position, such as those with lower body disabilities, including paralysis, spinal cord injuries or arthritis affecting the hips, knees or ankles.
Upper body disabilities, such as those caused by a stroke or muscular dystrophy, can also make it difficult to lift or manoeuvre the legs into a car. But, in general, disabled car transfer plates can be beneficial for anyone who has difficulty entering or exiting a vehicle, regardless of the cause of their limited mobility.
Mobility in Motion were patient, clear, understanding, knowledgeable and only recommended what was needed. They are most definitely customer needs focused.
