NRS Plastic Transfer Board
Our verdict
The NRS Plastic Transfer Board is 49.5cm long, weighs 950g and carries a 24 month guarantee, but its 127kg limit is the lowest of the plastic boards.
Best for: people who transfer themselves across a short gap, such as wheelchair to bed with the chair parked alongside.
Not for: anyone over 127kg, or anyone who needs to bridge a car door gap: at 49.5cm it may not reach far enough onto both seats.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
We found no disagreement that matters. The instructions say “127 kg (20 st)” and “950 g (2 lb)”; the Complete Care Shop page, which now sells the NRS range, gives 127kg and rounds the weight to 0.9kg. The page says “every NRS product is guaranteed for 2 years”; the instructions say 24 months for domestic use.
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 3. 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.
