A person load and unload transfer device including: an adjustable wheeled base framea support structure movably mounted on the adjustable base framea person load and unload assembly mounted to a portion of the support structure wherein the assembly includes a person receiving portion adapted to change configuration between a load and unload conditionan actuator mechanism mounted on the base frame adapted to selectively control the assembly between a load and unload operating conditionwherein in a load operating condition the assembly urges the person receiving portion thereof to adopt an angled position relative to the wheeled base to stably receive an person for transfer andwherein when the actuator mechanism is selected for an unloading operating condition, the assembly alters the angle of the person receiving portion to allow transfer of the person from the transfer device. The geometry of the person support assembly is such that it helps to keep the person in the upright position as it moves from the load or unload position to its position in the center of the person transfer device. Furthermore a seat mechanism is such that it allows the seat mechanism to slide easily between the persons legs and the chair or the like. There is a joystick or the like that controls the movements of the chair and chest support mechanism. There are a series of position sensors and pressure sensors and an onboard computation device that receives input from the sensors and the controlling joystick to calculate appropriate movement of the actuators while preventing undue pressure on the persons body.
