At 580mm across, the seat gives noticeably more room than a standard-width model, and the rust-proof stainless steel construction carries a rated load of 254kg \/ 40 stone – substantially more than the 2000 Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horseshoe profile is the defining feature: the front edge of the seat is cut away in a U-shape, leaving an open section that makes intimate cleaning considerably more straightforward without needing to shift position. Combined with the extra seat width, it also gives a clearer approach for side transfers on and off the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the fully padded version, with removable soft-feel polyurethane cushions on the seat and back plus padded arms. Seat lugs hold the cushion in place so it can't slide during a side transfer. Fold-down support legs take load directly to the floor rather than relying on the wall fixing alone, and two sets of legs are supplied as standard so the installer can set the seat at the right height.

Support legs must not be used on shower base slopes exceeding 1 in 40, and should not be positioned on curved surfaces such as the corner of a bath.
