Weight capacity is a crucial consideration when selecting a transfer bench, as it determines the maximum supported user weight and ensures safety and stability during transfers. Choosing a bench with a capacity that exceeds the user's weight offers peace of mind and durability. Transfer benches typically offer weight capacities ranging from 300 lbs (like the Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench) up to 600 lbs for bariatric models such as the Lumex Bariatric Transfer Bench. For most users, a 400–500 lb capacity (as in the Splash Defense Transfer Bench) is more than sufficient, but bariatric options ensure that higher-weight users have safe, reliable support. With a wide variety of capacities available, you can find a bench that matches your unique needs.
