Foldable Electric Patient Transfer Chair for Wheelchair Access

BMW07 Foldable Electric Patient Transfer Chair for Wheelchair Transfers

At Senyang, we designed the BMW07 electric patient transfer chair to make caregiver-assisted indoor transfers more convenient. Powered height adjustment, a supportive sling system, pedal-operated opening legs, and a foldable frame work together for transfers between compatible beds, wheelchairs, chairs, sofas, and other resting surfaces.

BMW07 offers more than powered lifting. Its base legs open around compatible wheelchair structures for closer positioning, while the upper frame and standing legs fold for compact storage and transport. This practical combination supports wheelchair transfers, space-saving storage, and movement between care locations in one versatile design.

Designed Around Wheelchair Access and Limited Storage Space

Electric Lifting for Controlled Height Alignment

The caregiver operates the up, stop, and down controls to adjust the sling height through a 350 mm lifting range. Stepless adjustment helps align the user with the receiving surface instead of relying on the caregiver to manually match different bed, wheelchair, or chair heights.

BMW07 uses a 22.2 V, 2000 mAh detachable lithium battery. A full charge typically takes approximately 2.5 hours, and the battery indicator allows the caregiver to check the remaining charge before a transfer begins.

Opening Legs Help the Frame Approach a Wheelchair

Fixed-width transfer bases may be blocked by a wheelchair frame before the sling is aligned over the seat. Our pedal-operated opening-leg design increases the distance between the rear wheels, helping the BMW07 base move around compatible wheelchair structures. A second pedal returns the legs to their normal position after positioning.

This design helps caregivers bring the transfer frame closer to the wheelchair and reduces interference during alignment. For a smooth setup, we recommend matching the chair with the wheelchair width, wheel and footrest position, seat height, floor clearance, and available pedal-operating space.

Foldable Structure for Storage and Vehicle Transport

When unloaded, the backrest and sling can be removed, the frame handrail can rotate and fold, and both standing legs can fold inward. For transport, the manual also describes removing the bolts that connect the frame and standing legs before folding the main sections.

The foldable design reduces the storage footprint and allows the dismantled chair to be placed in a suitable vehicle trunk. It is a practical option for mobile care teams, distributors demonstrating equipment at different sites, and families who need to move the device between locations. Vehicle openings vary, so we can help buyers confirm the final configuration against their available cargo space.

How BMW07 Supports a Wheelchair Transfer Workflow

BMW07 supports a clear caregiver-assisted transfer workflow. Once the user and sling are properly assessed, the caregiver can position the sling, secure the brakes, adjust the lifting height, open the base around a compatible wheelchair, and lower the user in a controlled way.

Typical Assisted Transfer Sequence

1. Assess the user and confirm that the BMW07, sling, transfer route, and 135 kg safe working load are appropriate.
2. Position the sling correctly, center the user, secure all four buckles, and install the backrest.
3. Lock the front-wheel brakes and use the controller to raise the user to the required safe height.
4. When approaching a compatible wheelchair, use the pedal to widen the base legs so the frame can move around the wheelchair structure.
5. Align the user with the wheelchair seat, keep the brakes locked, and lower the sling in a controlled manner.
6. Remove the backrest and sling only after the user is supported by the receiving surface, then return the spreader bars to their normal position.

BMW07 Technical Specifications

A Versatile Transfer Solution for Care Environments

Flexible Indoor Transfer Routes

We developed BMW07 for people who need caregiver assistance with short-distance indoor transfers. It can support routes such as bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to chair or sofa, and transfers to other compatible seating or resting surfaces.

Electric lifting, an opening base, and a removable sling make BMW07 especially useful when a conventional solid-seat transfer chair cannot approach a wheelchair closely enough or when equipment needs to be folded away between uses.

Indoor Use and User-Suitability Boundaries

BMW07 is intended for indoor use on smooth, level, dry surfaces. The manual does not recommend shower use. If a wet environment cannot be avoided, the power must be switched off and the charging-port cover secured; facilities should follow their own risk assessment and cleaning procedure.

The maximum safe working load is 135 kg. Suitability also depends on body dimensions, sitting tolerance, posture, injury status, sling selection, transfer route, and professional assessment. The chair should not be used where a clinician has prohibited transfer or where unstable fractures, spinal injuries, or pelvic injuries could be aggravated.

Configure BMW07 for Your Transfer Environment

We help distributors and care providers match BMW07 to their transfer environment. Share the following details with our team so we can support product configuration, sling selection, storage planning, and quotation:

• Wheelchair width, wheel position, armrest and footrest configuration, and seat height
• Bed or sofa height, under-surface clearance, and space for the opening base
• Doorway width, turning radius, floor level, thresholds, and transfer-route obstacles
• User weight, body dimensions, sitting stability, posture, and approved sling size
• Available vehicle-trunk opening and cargo dimensions after folding or disassembly
• Battery charging location, cleaning procedure, storage plan, and staff training

Construction Cleaning and Routine Readiness

The main structural components use high-strength welded steel tubing. The sling is secured through clip-lock attachments and a fixed T-shaped support tube. Three-inch casters support positioning on level floors, and the front-wheel brakes must remain locked during lifting, lowering, and transfer preparation.

For cleaning, the manual permits 70%-75% medical alcohol or another non-corrosive disinfectant on the frame, shell, and accessories. The device must not be charged, operated, or immersed during cleaning. Components should be completely dry before use, and the frame, fasteners, sling attachments, controls, battery, casters, and brakes should be checked regularly.

B2B Supply OEM and Compliance Support

We manufacture medical rehabilitation and patient-care equipment for distributors, importers, healthcare brands, care facilities, and OEM/ODM buyers. BMW07 is available with FDA, CE, and EU MDR compliance and is manufactured under our ISO 13485 quality management system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes BMW07 different from a standard electric patient transfer chair?

BMW07 combines powered lifting with pedal-operated opening legs and a foldable structure. The opening base helps the frame approach compatible wheelchairs, while the folding and dismantling steps support compact storage and vehicle transport.

Can the BMW07 be stored in a car trunk?

The frame, sling, backrest, handrail, and standing legs can be folded or dismantled for transport. Because vehicle cargo spaces vary, confirm the folded or dismantled dimensions against the intended trunk before purchase.

How do the opening legs help during wheelchair transfer?

The caregiver uses a pedal to widen the base so the rear section can pass around compatible wheelchair structures. This can reduce interference between the transfer-chair base and wheelchair frame during positioning.

What is the BMW07 maximum safe working load?

The current BMW07 manual specifies a maximum safe working load of 135 kg or 297 lb.

Can BMW07 be used as a normal wheelchair?

BMW07 is intended for caregiver-assisted transfers and short-distance indoor repositioning. It is not a replacement for an independently operated or transport wheelchair.

Can BMW07 be used in a shower?

The manual does not recommend shower use. The product is IP44 rated, but wet-environment use requires the power to be switched off, the charging-port cover secured, and a care-setting risk assessment.

What information should a distributor provide for a quotation?

Provide the destination market, quantity, intended transfer routes, user-weight range, sling requirements, branding, packaging, manual language, and vehicle-storage requirements.
