Homecraft Short Transfer Board
Our verdict
The Homecraft Short Transfer Board’s page gives both 100kg and 190kg; its instructions say 100kg, so we treat it as a 100kg board.
Best for: lighter users, up to 100kg, who need a short plain board for a close transfer.
Not for: anyone over 100kg, whatever the specification table says, and anyone who wants handholes.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
The product page disagrees with itself. Its description says “Maximum user weight 100KG/15st.” Its specification table says “Maximum User Weight 190kg/30st”. The instructions, which cover this board and the Handholes board, say “The board is not to be used to support more than 100kg / 15st.” We list 100kg. One dealer we checked, Complete Care Shop, lists 190kg (30 stone).
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Transfer Boards UK: 7 Models Checked Against Their Makers’ Documents, where it is ranked number 7. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
