ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A bath lift system for use in transporting a person into a bathtub, has an adjustable stabilizer. The bath lift system has a chair unit, a base unit and a stabilizer which all interconnect and fit on to a bath tub. The bath lift may operate by a water powered hydraulic cylinder located on the chair unit. The hydraulic cylinder has a sleeve with extending brackets onto which a chair is attached. The sleeve swivels and can be raised or lowered into the bathtub by the person being bathed. The piston for the hydraulic cylinder is then attached to the base unit which has legs and suction cups for securing it in the bath tub. The stabilizer is secured to the base unit and is adopted to abut an upper edge of the bathtub. This should provide reliable stability as the stabilizing forces are transmitted perpendicularly between the stabilizer and the bath tub edge, without the stabilizer tending to slide horizontally. The stabilizer can be fitted with an abutment member adapted to abut the bath tub edge, and provide location notches for engaging the chair, to limit rotation of the chair, to enable a user to readily sit down on or rise up from the chair. The stabilizer can be adjustable both horizontally and vertically to fit different size bath tubs.
