Bestcare Bariatric Patient Lift PL228

The BestLift® PL228 is a full-body electric bariatric patient lift designed for safe, caregiver-assisted transfers of patients who cannot bear weight independently. With a 500 lb weight capacity, a low 4.5" base height, dual front casters, and a 6-point spreader bar system compatible with most 4- or 6-point slings, it is engineered for transferring bariatric patients in small rooms with low beds — where space and clearance are at a premium.

500 lb Bariatric Weight Capacity
Rated at 500 lbs safe working load, the PL228 provides heavy-duty full-body lift capability for bariatric patients across home care, assisted living, and clinical settings.

Low Base Height — 4.5" — Fits Under Most Beds
The 4.5" base height allows the lift to slide under most low beds and furniture, enabling close patient positioning for safe, comfortable transfers without requiring the patient to be repositioned first.

Compact Footprint for Small Rooms
With an overall base length of 44.9" and a maximum width of 42.9", the PL228 is designed to maneuver in tight spaces and small rooms — making it a practical solution for home care environments where space is limited.

Dual Front Casters for Easy Maneuvering
Dual front casters provide smooth, responsive directional control, allowing caregivers to position the lift precisely around beds, chairs, and other furniture with minimal effort.

Fully Electric Operation — Hand Pendant Control
The powered lift system operates via a hand pendant control, providing smooth, quiet, and controlled lifting — reducing physical strain on the caregiver. Includes an emergency stop and backup system for patient safety.

6-Point Spreader Bar — Broad Sling Compatibility
Uses a 6-point spreader bar system compatible with most standard 4- or 6-point patient slings, providing flexibility in sling selection and ensuring secure, balanced patient support during transfers. Slings are sold separately.

Updated Electronics — 24/7 Capability
Features new electronics designed for continuous 24/7 operation, supporting high-demand care environments where the lift may be used multiple times per day.
