Designed for Safer Lateral Transfers
The Folding Transfer Board is designed to assist carers with lateral patient transfers between two parallel surfaces of similar height. Suitable for use when a patient is lying down or seated, the board can be positioned flat or at an angle, depending on the transfer method. Made from strong yet flexible plastic, it can bridge small gaps of up to 15cm (6 inches), helping to facilitate movement between surfaces such as beds, trolleys, and plinths.
Its contour-flexible structure accommodates slight height differences of up to 5cm between surfaces, while the folding design and integrated handholds make it easy to store and carry. For smoother transfers, slide sheets can be used beneath the patient. The board itself does not support weight during use; the stability and strength of the resting surfaces determine the safe transfer limit.

- Helps bridge small gaps (up to 15cm) between two parallel surfaces of similar height
- Flexible, elongated oval shape made from durable plastic
- Folds in half for easier storage and transport
- Six hand holds – one at each end and two on either side – improve grip and handling
- Slight surface height differences of up to 5cm can be accommodated due to the board’s flexibility
- Suitable for use with slide sheets to aid movement during transfers
Who Should Use This Transfer Board?
The Folding Transfer Board is intended for carers supporting individuals who need assistance with lateral transfers. It is suitable for moving patients in either a sitting or lying position between two surfaces of similar height. Common users include hospital staff, paramedics, care home teams, and home carers.
It is particularly useful in clinical and care settings where space is limited and where a smooth transfer is required between beds, trolleys, shower trolleys, x-ray plinths, or mortuary trolleys. It supports transfers involving small gaps of up to 15cm and can accommodate slight differences in surface height.
This product is not weight bearing; safe use depends on the stability and weight capacity of the surfaces being transferred between.
