Transfer Solutions

Enhancing Mobility Elevating Independence

At Gilani Engineering we specialise in transfer solutions designed to enable seamless movement from one environment to another—whether it’s from a wheelchair to a car, bed, shower or toilet. Our tailored solutions support users of both manual and electric wheelchairs, ensuring safe transitions and greater autonomy in everyday life.

Users requiring safer home mobility support may also explore our range of hospital beds for home use, pressure care mattresses and bedroom aids designed for everyday care and accessibility.

Our range includes mobility transfer solutions, home transfer equipment and NDIS transfer aids designed for safer movement across home care, rehabilitation and disability support environments.

For powered vehicle transfer seating that rotates out through the door and lowers for transfer, see our swivel car seat range.

Our transfer solutions are commonly used alongside manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs and rehabilitation support equipment for safer daily movement and transfers.

Our Transfer Solution Range

• Vehicle Transfer Platforms & Boards – For users transferring from a wheelchair (manual or electric) into a car seat. Includes low-profile platforms that allow car doors to close smoothly. Wheelchair transfer aids are commonly used for safer car access, mobility support and easier transitions between wheelchairs and vehicles.
• Home Transfer Aids – Transfer benches, sliding seats or boards for use in bathrooms, showers, beds or toilets. These simplify the movement between a wheelchair (or electric wheelchair) and another surface.
• Transfer Poles & Grab-Rails for Transfers – Strategically placed poles or grab-rails assist in sideways or angular transfers for users moving from wheelchairs or chairs.
• Custom Solutions – We can design bespoke transfer aids to suit unusual spaces, heavier loads (e.g., bariatric users), or specific mobility needs (electric wheelchair with custom base, etc). We also provide transfer equipment for home care, bariatric users and disability support applications requiring customised mobility assistance.

Users requiring portable mobility support may also be interested in our folding electric wheelchairs designed for easier transport, storage and travel.

For users requiring higher support capacity, you can also explore our range of bariatric wheelchairs and heavy-duty mobility equipment.

How the Process Works

1. Initial consultation & assessment – We meet you on-site or virtually, review your mobility device (include the electric wheelchair if applicable), measurement and environment.
2. Solution proposal – We propose one or more options: transfer board, platform, sliding system, etc., with materials, mounting, load rating details and quote.
3. Manufacture & supply – Once approved, we arrange supply of product (off-the-shelf or custom-manufactured) and coordinate delivery.
4. Installation – Our team installs the solution, ensures correct height, secure fixings, clear transfer zones and integration with the mobility device.
5. Training & hand-over – We walk you through correct use of the transfer solution—especially important when involving an electric wheelchair—and provide guidance for maintenance.
6. After-care support – We’re available for follow-up, adjustments or modifications as your needs evolve.

Our transfer systems Australia wide are designed to improve accessibility, support independence and simplify everyday movement for both users and carers.

Many users compare transfer systems with mobility scooters and powered mobility equipment when improving long-term accessibility and independence.

Our home accessibility solutions also complement home modifications and NDIS-funded mobility support projects across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can your transfer systems be used with an electric wheelchair?
Yes — our systems are designed with mobility devices in mind, including electric wheelchairs. We ensure the product accommodates the size, weight and clearance needs of an electric wheelchair to enable safe transfers.

Q: Are transfer boards or platforms safe for older adults or those with limited strength?
Yes — transfer aids reduce the need for heavy lifting or awkward manoeuvres. They are engineered with load ratings and secure fixings to support users with limited strength and minimise caregiver strain.

Q: Do you install the products or is installation separate?
We provide full installation as part of our service—measurement, fitment and final hand-over—so you receive a turnkey solution.

Q: How much space do I need for a transfer aid at home?
Space requirements vary depending on the product (board, bench, platform). During our assessment we identify clear transfer zones and ensure there’s adequate clearance for the wheelchair (manual or electric) and the transfer surface. For instance, accessibility design guidelines outline clear spaces for transfers.

Q: What maintenance is required for transfer aids?
Maintenance is minimal: regular inspections of fixings, checking wear or corrosion especially in wet areas, and ensuring any sliding or folding mechanisms operate smoothly. If the aid is used outdoors or for vehicle transfers, check vehicle interface points too.

Q: Can this be covered by NDIS or funding schemes?
Yes — many of our transfer solutions are recognised under funding schemes like NDIS. We can help provide quotes, specifications and documentation needed for your application.

Many transfer aids for disabled users and mobility support systems may be suitable for NDIS-funded accessibility and home care support.
