The majority of bath lifts are simply a seat securely fitted into the bath. When the bath lift is raised into an upright position, it should become level with the top of the bath. When it comes to taking a bath, the person using it can safely sit in the bath lift. They will then move their feet and legs into the bath filled with water. The next step is to lower the seat into the bath and enjoy the independence of bathing alone.

Features of Orca XL Bath lift

The Orca XL Bath lift with reclining backrest by Invacare is a popular choice for those looking for a more powerful bath lift that can support heavier users and provide assistance and increased independence when using the bath. The Orca Bath Lift XL has an impressive maximum user weight of 170kg (26.5st).

The Orca XL Bath lift is a disability bathing aid for the heavier user that is simple to fit and is designed to provide the user with a comfortable, safe and reassuring bathing experience. It fits neatly and securely into the bath and its strong seating platform and electronic scissor mechanism enable the user to simply and safely transfer onto the bath chair and effortlessly lower themselves down into the bath using the ergonomically designed floating hand control. The bath seat can then be raised back up to the edge of the bath assisting the user with a safe transfer to their feet.

Whilst the Orca XL Bath lift is simple to use and install it comes with several innovative features that combine to deliver an all-round pleasurable and safe bathing experience. The Orca Bath lift XL with reclining backrest is ideal for use at home as well as in a nursing home or care setting.

Use and operation

The Orca has a textured seat that can be used without covers (non-slip covers are available separately) and hinged side flaps that extend to the bath rim thereby assisting safe side transfers in and out of the seat. The Orca’s backrest reclines up to an angle of 40° for additional comfort, relaxation and improved bathing experience.

The Orca’s lowering and lifting motion is controlled by a simple-to-use lightweight ergonomic handset that floats. The handset simply connects to the back of the chair and has a powerful integral lightweight battery that is rechargeable and has raised profile coloured buttons and an emergency stop feature. The Orca’s smooth surfaces and water drainage design make it easy to clean and it has an impressive user weight limit of 170kg (26.5 stone).

VAT Relief for the Disabled

What is VAT relief?

We have compiled this small guide to help you understand who is and who isn’t eligible to claim VAT relief on disability aids available to buy on this website. VAT relief allows chronically ill or disabled people to buy eligible items at 0% tax rather than the current standard rate of  VAT – saving them a significant amount of money.

Who is eligible for VAT relief?

To be eligible for VAT relief the government says that you have to fit the following criteria:

  • Charities – simply provide us with your charity number.
  • A person is ‘chronically sick or disabled’ if they are a person:
    • With a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon their ability to carry out everyday activities; with a condition that the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness, such as diabetes; or who is terminally ill.
  • Important to note: It does NOT include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb.

What proof do we need to provide?

The government requires a simple declaration to be made as to the nature of your disability at the time of order in order to waive VAT on an eligible purchase. No proof of your disability need be shown to any party at any time. It is easy to claim VAT relief, all we need to know is the full name, full address and what their chronic sickness or disability is. We do not need a doctor’s letter or any reference numbers as long as we have the requested details.

The above information can be provided to us during the checkout. If you order online, by phone or by post we will send you a form and a free return envelope asking you for the above information and a signature.

Displayed prices

If you see a small purple banner or text link with the words, “VAT relief available” or a price shown with “with VAT relief” after it, then VAT relief can be claimed on that particular item.

Things to remember

  • We do NOT decide if an item is or isn’t exempt and we don’t make any more or less money if we charge you VAT or we don’t charge you VAT
  • The details you provide are private and strictly confidential. They can only be viewed on our secure private company network and will be made securely available to the UK Government HMRC should they request any clarification on your purchase.
  • If you do not complete the VAT relief form, or you are not eligible for VAT relief, we are obliged to charge you the full prevailing VAT on the whole of your order
  • Not all products are eligible for VAT relief, so we are obliged to charge VAT at the prevailing rate for those products that are not VAT exempt, even after you complete this form
