How much does the Powered TransitFlow Portering Chair cost?

The Powered TransitFlow Portering Chair starts at £5,659 excluding VAT. This price reflects the added functionality of a powered drive system that reduces the physical effort required from porters and helps improve safety on slopes or longer routes.

This is a higher investment compared to standard manual portering chairs, but hospitals often find that the improved safety, reduced injury risk, and greater consistency of transfers more than justify the cost over time.

What can affect the final price?

Several factors can influence the total cost for your hospital:

1. Standard or Bariatric version

The TransitFlow Powered Chair is available in either a standard-width version with 200kg SWL or a wider bariatric version with a 250kg SWL. Most hospitals choose the wider bariatric version to help solve the challenge of bariatric transfers. 

The Standard Powered TransitFlow starts at £5,659, and the Bariatric version starts at £5,975.

2. Accessories and configuration

Optional add-ons, such as IV poles, coin-lock systems, and storage trays, can affect the final price. These extras help enhance ease of use for clinical teams and can be included at the point of order.

3. Quantity ordered

Why hospitals choose the powered version

Although powered portering chairs sit at the top end of the price range, many hospitals see clear value in the investment. The powered drive system reduces strain and fatigue for porters, supports safer movement on ramps and slopes, and improves comfort for patients during transfer.

Hospitals dealing with bariatric transfers, long internal routes, outdoor links between buildings, or sloped corridors find the powered version particularly valuable.

Is it worth the investment?

In many cases, yes. Manual handling teams often highlight the reduction in pushing effort as a key benefit, especially when moving bariatric patients or travelling across challenging gradients.

Improved safety, reduced injury risk, and more consistent transfer times can produce both operational and financial advantages over the lifespan of the chair.
