XL-Base by Adapt Solutions – Wisconsin
Simple, Comfortable Transfers Into Your Vehicle
The Adapt Solutions XL-BASE Transfer Seat Base makes getting into and out of your vehicle easier with a smooth, straightforward transfer motion. The seat rotates and gently lowers outside the vehicle, allowing you to stop the movement at any point to transfer at your preferred height.
Designed to work with your vehicle’s original seat, the XL-BASE provides familiar comfort, generous legroom, and a practical transfer solution. Its under-seat design also helps preserve passenger space and allows the original seat to recline completely.
At Access Mobility Vans, we can help you explore transfer seating solutions for your mobility needs and vehicle configuration.

What Is the Adapt Solutions XL-BASE?
The XL-BASE is a powered rotating and lowering transfer seat base designed to simplify transfers into and out of compatible vehicles. The system uses the vehicle’s original seat and moves it through a controlled rotation and lowering cycle.
The transfer movement can be stopped at any time, allowing the user to choose a comfortable height for transferring between a wheelchair and the vehicle seat.
The XL-BASE is designed for the front and center passenger positions of most minivans, subject to vehicle compatibility and installation requirements.
Key Features of the XL-BASE
Rotating and lowering movement: The seat rotates and gently lowers out of the vehicle to simplify transfers.
Adjustable transfer height: The movement can be stopped at any point during the cycle.
Original vehicle seat: Uses the vehicle’s existing seat for familiar comfort and support.
Generous legroom: Provides considerable legroom for the occupant.
Under-seat installation: Installs beneath the seat to help preserve space for passengers seated behind it.
Full seat recline: Allows the original seat to recline completely.
Simple mechanical design: Uses two electrical actuators and a series of limit switches.
Vehicle battery powered: Uses the vehicle battery as its power source.
Manual backup system: Every unit includes a manual backup system.
Original seat mounting points: Installs into the original seat mounts in compatible applications.
No drilling or structural modifications: Designed to avoid drilling or structural changes to the vehicle.
Optional armrest or footrest: Available to help make transfers easier.
Interior trim colors: Optional black, tan, or grey trim colors are available.
Smooth, Controlled Transfer Movement
The XL-BASE is designed to keep the transfer process simple. Rather than requiring several separate movements, the system rotates and lowers the original vehicle seat in a consistent, controlled motion.
The cycle can be stopped whenever needed, giving the user more flexibility when transferring at different heights. This can be especially useful when the height of the wheelchair or transfer surface varies.
Uses Your Vehicle’s Original Seat
The XL-BASE is designed to use the original seat from your vehicle rather than requiring a replacement seat. This helps maintain the comfort and seating characteristics you are already familiar with.
The system also provides substantial legroom. To view the final installation position, the seat can be moved completely backward.
Because the XL-BASE installs beneath the seat, it is designed to preserve space for passengers sitting behind it. The original seat can also recline fully, helping the transfer base remain unobtrusive during everyday vehicle use.
Designed to Minimize Vehicle Modifications
The XL-BASE installs into the original seat mounting points in compatible applications. Its design does not require drilling or structural modifications to the vehicle.
When the transfer base is removed, the vehicle can be returned to its original condition, subject to the specific installation. This design may help preserve the vehicle’s flexibility and resale considerations.
Vehicle compatibility and installation requirements should be confirmed before selecting a transfer seat base.
Power and Manual Backup System
The XL-BASE uses the vehicle battery as its power source. According to the manufacturer, power is not drained from the vehicle battery when the system is not in use.
Each XL-BASE also includes a manual backup system, providing an alternative method of operation if the powered system cannot be used.
Optional Accessories and Trim Colors
The XL-BASE is available with optional accessories and trim choices to accommodate different transfer needs and vehicle interiors.
Optional Armrest or Footrest
An optional armrest or footrest can be added depending on the user’s needs. These accessories may help provide additional support or make the transfer process more comfortable.
Available Trim Colors
Three optional trim colors are available:
Black
Tan
Grey
The available trim options allow the transfer base to better coordinate with the vehicle’s interior.
Safety and Certification
Adapt Solutions states that the XL-BASE undergoes a strict certification process involving a variety of tests. The company’s stated goal is to offer products that exceed industry standards.
Specific certification details, testing standards, and applicable vehicle installation requirements should be confirmed for the selected configuration.
