The transfer plate bridges the gap between the wheelchair and the car seat, making boarding much more comfortable. We manufacture the plate in two standard sizes, or it can be customised as required. The transfer plate is anchored to the B-pillar, ensuring stability during movement. It fits neatly between the door pillar and the seat, so it does not take up interior space or interfere with entry for an able-bodied driver. It can be installed on both the driver’s and passenger’s seats.
Features of the Transfer Plate
- Simple aid that makes boarding easier.
- The plate remains stable while moving inside the vehicle.
- When folded, it does not interfere with entry for other drivers.
- Excellent in combination with sliding doors to facilitate wheelchair access to the second row of seats.
- Available with a leatherette finish or a softer surface; smooth plastic is best for effortless movement.
Choose the Size of Your Transfer Plate
See the two standard sizes of transfer plates. The smaller plate is most commonly used by paraplegic users who are able to lift themselves partially using their arms. Alternatively, we can manufacture a custom-sized plate to suit your needs.

Transfer Plate for Quadriplegics
For quadriplegic users who need to move along the full length of the plate, a version that rests on the wheelchair seat may be more suitable. This plate is custom-made based on measurements taken from the individual client.
