Contraindications / Limitations 

There are no known “contraindications” associated with the usage of the TA400 Transfer Aid, provided they are used as per 

manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines. However, it is recommended that a client specific assessment is completed by 

a trained and knowledgeable health care professional to determine the method of transfer. 

 

Mackworth does not recommend a required number of care givers for the use of our products. This information and 

recommendation can only be provided after a thorough personalised, case specific assessment, as there are many factors that 

can influence these decisions.

Intended Use 

For internal use only. 

 

The Mackworth TA400 is a sit to stand platform, which is designed to provide an active, safe and comfortable transfer of the 

user. It is ideal for short distance transfers, such as to/from bed to chair or from bedroom to bathroom. 

 

Its versatility allows use with wheelchairs, toilet and shower chairs. Soft and wide padding in the leg support improves stability, 

the sturdy handle offers grip options for both the user and the carer and also the padded seat paddles which can support the 

patient in a comfortable seated position. 

 

The rear wheels with independent locking manual brakes, makes it easy for a carer to manoeuvre, and provides maximum 

stability and safety for the user. 

 

The Mackworth TA400 has a safe working load of 180 kg (400 lb)

this load must not be exceeded. 

The device is used under instruction, and the operation of the aid is undertaken by a trained carer. 

A risk assessment must be performed before using any other manufactured Transfer Aid, to ensure safe use can be 

established. 

 

The safety belt is a specially designed fabric accessory that attaches to the Transfer Aid by means of buckle incorporated in the 

safety belt which clips onto the attachment pins either side of the handle, this holds and aids an individual while the transfer 

takes place. The safety belt is supplied separately from the Transfer Aid at the initial time of purchase.  

If additional accessories have been supplied with the Transfer aid, refer to the instructions included with those items. 

 

The Transfer Aid: 

 

Helps to assist a user with sit to stand transfers 

 

Helps to transfer penitent from one destination to another (i.e. bedroom to bathroom) 

 

Maximum user weight: 180 kg (400 lb) 

 

Padded leg support for added comfort 

 

Padded seat paddles for patient to sit while transferring form one destination to another 

 

Multiple grip options for both user and carer 

 

Safety Belt available to enable a carer to support the patient while a transfer is carried out 

 

Independent locking rear brakes 

 

 

The TA400 is intended to be installed on a flat and levelled surface prior to use.  

 

 

The Transfer Aid must be installed only by persons authorised by Mackworth or thoaw who have the rights to install 

and commission the Transfer Aid safe for use. 

 

 

Under no circumstance should the TA400 be put in control of a person who has not been properly trained in the use 

and care of this equipment. Failure to adhere to this warning may result in serious injury to the operator and/or the 

individual being transferred. 

 

 

The Transfer Aid, and associated belts are not toys. Do not use it for unsafe practices. Do not allow children to play with 

the Aid or any of its components. The TA400 should not be used for any practice except its intended use.
