Frequently Asked Questions

Are these suction cup tips compatible with all transfer benches?
These tips are designed to be compatible with most standard transfer benches, including Drive Medical models. Confirm compatibility with your specific bench model before ordering by checking the bench manufacturer’s replacement parts list or contacting us with your bench model number.

How do I install replacement suction cup tips?
Remove the worn tips from the bench legs by pulling them straight off or twisting them free, depending on the attachment style. Press the new suction cup tips firmly onto the bench legs until they seat fully. To activate the suction on a smooth surface, press the suction cup flat against the surface and engage the locking mechanism if present. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for maximum suction strength before use.

How do I know when to replace my suction cup tips?
Replace suction cup tips when they no longer hold suction reliably on a clean, smooth surface, when the rubber shows visible cracking or hardening, or when the locking mechanism no longer engages properly. Worn suction cups significantly reduce bench stability and increase the risk of movement during transfers. Inspect tips regularly and replace them at the first sign of wear.

Do these tips work on textured or non-smooth surfaces?
Suction cups require a smooth, non-porous surface to create an effective seal. They will not grip reliably on textured tile, rough concrete, or non-slip bath mats. If your bathroom floor is textured, consider using rubber non-slip feet instead of suction cups, or place the bench on a smooth surface area where suction can be achieved.
