I wanted to know how wide or big a bathroom need to be to use this Hoyer Lift to transfer a person to a Bathtub chair or toilet in the bathroom.

The lift is good for transferring from bed to chair, however the wheels do not turn very easily and I often have to leave the person in the lift to manually move the front wheels in the direction I want it to go. I cannot use this lift in her half-bathroom nor can I use this to transfer outside to the car.

I returned the lift because even though it was smaller then most lifts unless your bathroom has a very large door and plenty of room you will probably not be able to maneuver it.y suggestion is to get a physical therapist in your house to advise you.

My mother has used the Invacare Lift (not Hoyer brand) to lift a person who had fallen by the sink. She never used it to transfer someone to a bathtub chair or toilet. She has a smaller doorway, 30", but was able to fit the Invacare Lift through the doorway and use it successfully. Her bathroom seems fairly large, so I don't know how this lift would work in a smaller bathroom. The Lift dimensions are listed as Back Width: Open: 42.25" Closed: 22". I hope this helps you.

Trish, we purchased the Hoyer Lift for my father. My parents live in a mobile home and their hallways as well as their doorways are very narrow. This Lift was the best fit for their situation. I've given them all the information I had on the lift so I can't give you actual measurements at this time but I can tell you it's a wonderful lift, easy to use, and I found it to be the best fit for a house with narrow doors & hallways and very small bathroom.

Both front and back legs are 18" wide (across) but this is from the middle to middle of the legs, so it may be too wide for your tub. I would estimate an overall width to be closer to 20". The seat itself is 16" across, and inside the arms is 18". I have found this chair to be sturdy and steady.

There are two widths and in order to go through a standard bathroom door get the smaller junior size. Since my mother is in Colorado and I am in New Mexico cannot measure. But do know that when getting it, I chose the junior size smaller chair to accommodate bathroom doorway. Many elderly are not large framed and smaller which makes this selection perfect and usable into a bathroom.

Your best bet might be what they call a transfer bench. Two legs go in the tub, and two legs outside the tub or shower, on the floor. You have to rig the shower curtain around it which is a pain, but if you use a hand held shower it's easier to manage.

Yes, it will probably clear the tub. If it does not, there are 4" leg extensions available. The middle legs on this tub-to-toilet bench are totally adjustable up to about 53 inches. The just slide over the center rails. Of more concern should be the fact that this transfer bench is 64.5 inches long and the total length can not be adjusted. So, if you are only needing to span a normal size tub, and have no toilet why do you need one this long? And do you need a cutout seat with a back? The normal transfer benches come in there basic lengths - Regular: 39.5-40.5; Long: 43-44; XL: 48-49". Bill Keene 954-421-3169 Boca Home Medical Solutions Yes, it will probably clear the tub.

The chair is adjustable for the height of the tub side. It is @40" from front to back. You want to make sure that there is room from where the chair sits in the tub to where the shower head is. I installed a hand held shower for convenience. A nice curtain is "On the Right Track" as it is configured for chairs like this although you can buy a cheap curtain and cut it to fit if you want to .

Legs are 17" wide but seat is 22 " wide so chair does not work in standard bathtub

it was the largest we found. we use ours as a seat across our tub. it works well to help me get in and out.

I can't answer specifically I used the chair in my tub after hip surgery and I can say the chair was the width of the tub with two legs on the floor outside the tub and it cleared the tub comfortably to get in and out without having to bend my legs at more than 90 degrees ( I am 5 feet 6 inches)It was very sturdy

Much too big for driver seat purposes. I've had this item for quite a while. It fits at an angle in the bath tub for drying various items. It is quite sturdy. While your comment is amusing, it is not accurate.

Go to nearest Lowe's or home depot and view the toilets that the bidet is attached to. The washlet will mirror thetype of seat you have long or round .

It's 14" wide in both sections, but you might use it sideways with the hinge going vertically so it curves around the contour of your tub. There are plenty of suction cups to do this.

I've used mine in a extra large shower, one for wheelchairs and it worked like a charm. This thing works almost anywhere.

From outside leg to outside leg it is 17 1/2 inches. The thing that may be a problem for you are the arms. They are 22 inches wide. If you have a lip on the inside of the tub it may still work. If you have a grab bar you may be able to do away with the inside arm.

It was for my daughter. I think her tub is approx. that size. However, there was still room for expansion. I found it to be most helpful.

Fits in standard bathtub. Back of lift size is 14 inches (width) by 24 inches (length) and seat measures 14 1/2 inches (width) by 24 inches.

I wil have to now guess...WIDE I have large rectangle tub...barely fit...i used this once and it was HORRIBLE...difficult to move into other positions...no room to fit to do anything like stand up to get in or out...i tossed mine out and advertised it many places and only 2 came to view and not what they wanted...so there it sits as an additional chair out in back yard... for that it is okay and it appears to be size of walkway in yard. Plastic appears to be thick and sturdy, the legs are aluminum and rubber clunkers at bottom do keep it from sliding around if you have room. I found an old wooden chair and put marine shellac on it to protect from water...it was smaller but still not what I wanted.....I am still looking for metal stool... wish you well....might suggest you visit one of those stores for people with special needs and see all available.....watch for their sales....or try hardware store that has those plastic bins that stack. drape bathmat over top to sit on and allow you no marks on tush. hope this helps....price was right and delivery time was fast.
