What is the IM106 hydraulic transfer chair used for?
The IM106 is designed to assist caregivers in safely transferring individuals with limited mobility between surfaces such as beds, wheelchairs, sofas, or toilets. It helps reduce physical strain while improving safety and comfort during daily care routines.
Is this chair electric or manual?
This model uses a hydraulic lifting system, meaning it is manually operated using a pump mechanism. It does not require electricity or batteries, making it reliable and easy to use in any environment.
Who is this product suitable for?
This transfer chair is suitable for individuals who:
• Have reduced mobility
• Need assistance moving between surfaces
• Are elderly, recovering, or living with physical limitations
It is also ideal for caregivers who want a safer and more controlled transfer process.
Can the user sit independently in the chair?
The user should be able to maintain a seated position with some level of stability.
For individuals with very limited trunk or head control, additional support or a different type of lift may be more appropriate.
Can this be used for toilet or shower transfers?
Yes. Similar models in this category are designed to support bathroom transfers, including use over a toilet or in wet environments, depending on setup and caregiver assistance.
What makes the hydraulic system beneficial?
The hydraulic system:
• Does not rely on electricity
• Offers smooth and controlled lifting
• Reduces the risk of sudden movements
• Works even during power outages
Does it function as a wheelchair as well?
This type of transfer chair can be used for short-distance movement, but it is primarily designed for transfers rather than long-term sitting or transportation.
Is this safe for daily use?
Yes, when used properly. For safety:
• Always lock the wheels before lifting
• Ensure the user is correctly positioned
• Operate on a flat, stable surface
• Follow all provided instructions
Do I need a caregiver to use this product?
Yes. This device is designed to be used with the assistance of a caregiver. It is not intended for fully independent use.
Should I consult a healthcare professional before purchasing?
Yes, especially if the user:
• Cannot sit upright
• Has severe spasticity
• Requires full-body support
This ensures the safest and most appropriate choice.
