• A seated wash in a tub or a stall, no backrest
• Folds flat for storage or travel
• Angled legs and a blow-molded bench with drainage holes

Seat height and fit

Sit on the bench in the tub or the stall with your feet flat. Your hips and knees should sit at a comfortable bend. Drive does not print the height range on the current 12486 sheet. Authorized reprints print 17.5 in to 18.5 in (44 cm to 47 cm). That is a short window. Come into a Brampton or Toronto store if you want the height tried on the floor.

The without-back seat is 19.75 in wide by 12 in deep (50 cm by 30.5 cm). Drive's family sheet also prints 18 in by 11 in for the with-back sister. We sell 12486 without a back. Drive does not print a width between arms because this bench has no arms.

Frame, drainage, and folding

The frame is corrosion-proof aluminum. The bench is blow-molded plastic. Drainage holes let water through the seat. Angled legs add a wider stance. Drive prints that the plastic parts use recycled materials.

The bench folds flat. Drive's family is sold with a back or without a back. 12486 is the without-back SKU. We can show you the fold at delivery.

Drive Folding Shower Chair specifications

These figures are for Drive 12486 as printed on the current one-pager. The specification tab holds the stored values. Use 19.75 in by 12 in and 300 lb. Use Limited Lifetime, not the stored 1 Year line. Drive prints unit weight as 4.5 lb or 5 lb on the family sheet. Do not treat that as a single number.

Capacity 300 lb (136 kg). Seat 19.75 in by 12 in (50 cm by 30.5 cm) on the without-back SKU. Folds flat. Angled aluminum legs. Warranty for a Canadian purchaser follows Drive's printed term: limited lifetime.

Stool, chair, bench, or bariatric

A shower stool is a small round seat with no back. A shower chair has a back, and some chairs add arms. A shower bench is a wider seat that still sits inside the tub or the stall. A bariatric chair uses a heavier rating and a braced frame. A transfer bench bridges the tub wall so the person sits outside and slides in.

12486 is a folding shower bench without a back. It is not a stool, not a chair with a back, and not a transfer bench. If the person wants a fixed deluxe bench, use the RTL12203KDR. If they need 500 lb, use the Drive Deluxe Bariatric Shower Chair. If they need to slide in from outside the tub, start with the Drive Combination Transfer Bench and Commode.

Funding help for bathroom safety equipment in Ontario

Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through before you buy.
