Hydraulic Patient Transfer • Height Adjustable • Commode Function • 180° Opening • Foldable Design

Move patients with greater control, comfort and dignity.

The KARMA Ryder TC 20 Steel Hydraulic Height Adjustable Commode Transfer Chair is a multifunctional patient-transfer solution designed to make everyday transfers easier for caregivers while providing a stable and comfortable seating platform for users with limited mobility.

Combining a hydraulic height-adjustment system, 180° opening design, foldable structure, four-wheel locking brakes and integrated commode functionality, the Ryder TC 20 is designed for practical use across home healthcare, hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centres and assisted-care environments.

Instead of repeatedly lifting and repositioning a patient, the Ryder TC 20 helps caregivers bring the chair into position and adjust the seating height according to the transfer requirement.

One chair. Multiple care functions. Less unnecessary lifting.

Designed to Make Patient Transfers Easier

Reduce unnecessary lifting

The hydraulic lifting mechanism allows the caregiver to adjust the chair's height to create a more suitable transfer position.

This can be particularly useful when transferring a mobility-limited user between different surfaces such as:

Bed → Transfer Chair → Bathroom → Toilet → Chair → Sofa

The objective is simple: position the patient closer to the required transfer height while reducing unnecessary manual handling.

Hydraulic Height Adjustment

The Ryder TC 20 incorporates a hydraulic height-adjustment mechanism operated through its hydraulic control system.

The adjustable seat height allows caregivers to position the chair according to the transfer surface and care environment.

Height-adjustable range

Seat Height: 44–70 cm

This broad adjustment range provides flexibility when positioning the chair beside beds, toilets and other seating surfaces.

Always follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and ensure the chair is correctly locked and positioned before transferring a patient.

180° Opening Design for Easier Transfers

One of the Ryder TC 20's most practical features is its 180° opening design.

The opening structure allows the chair to be positioned more conveniently around the user during transfers, helping caregivers approach the patient from a more suitable angle.

This can be especially valuable when working in confined home-care environments where conventional wheelchair transfers may be difficult.

More Than a Transfer Chair

The Ryder TC 20 is designed as a multi-function patient-care chair.

Patient Transfer Chair

Move a patient between rooms and care areas without repeatedly lifting them.

Height-Adjustable Chair

Raise or lower the seat to achieve a more appropriate transfer position.

Commode Chair

The design can be used for toileting requirements, helping reduce the need for repeated transfers to a conventional toilet.

Bathroom / Shower Assistance

The waterproof-oriented transfer-chair design is marketed for bathroom-related care applications; always confirm the exact model's approved bathing/showering use with the supplier or manufacturer's instructions before exposing the chair to water.

Indoor Mobility

Four swivel casters make it easier for an attendant to manoeuvre the chair within appropriate indoor environments.

Built for Stability

Patient transfer requires controlled positioning.

The Ryder TC 20 features four-wheel braking, allowing the caregiver to secure the chair before carrying out a transfer.

The four-wheel brake system is repeatedly specified across current listings.

Safety-focused features

Four-wheel brakes
Secure the chair during transfer and positioning.

Foldable anti-slip pedal

Comfortable Seating for Everyday Care

Patient-transfer equipment should not sacrifice comfort.

The Ryder TC 20 provides a 46 cm / 18-inch seat width and approximately 40 cm seat depth, giving the user a practical seating platform during transfers and movement.

The back-support dimensions are listed at approximately:

• Back Support Width: 17 cm

• Back Support Height: 32 cm

Specifications may vary by production batch or catalogue revision, so verify the supplied unit before purchase.

Foldable Design. Easier Storage.

Healthcare equipment often needs to work around limited space.

The Ryder TC 20 incorporates a foldable design with folding components including the:

• Legs

• Armrests

• Footrests

This makes the chair more convenient to store when it is not being used and can help optimize available space in homes and care facilities.

Strong Mild-Steel Frame

The Ryder TC 20 is listed with a mild-steel frame, providing a sturdy foundation for patient-transfer applications.

Its robust construction is intended for demanding home-care and institutional environments where equipment may be used frequently.

Bedridden or Mobility-Limited Patients

For users who require caregiver assistance during everyday transfers.

Post-Surgery Recovery

For individuals temporarily requiring assisted transfers, subject to clinical suitability.

A practical solution for families caring for mobility-dependent users at home.

Designed Around the Caregiver

A great patient-transfer product should work for the person providing care—not just the person sitting in the chair.

Positioning + Height Adjustment + Transfer + Toileting + Mobility

in one integrated product.

That means fewer separate devices may be required for routine care activities, potentially simplifying the caregiving environment.

Why Families Choose a Hydraulic Transfer Chair

Traditional patient transfers can require significant caregiver effort, particularly when the user cannot stand independently.

A dedicated hydraulic transfer chair can help create a more controlled transfer workflow:

Position → Open → Transfer → Adjust Height → Secure Brakes → Move

This can make routine care more organized and potentially reduce unnecessary lifting.

However, the Ryder TC 20 is an assistive mobility and transfer device—not a substitute for professional patient-handling training. Caregivers should follow the product manual and use appropriate transfer techniques.
