Drive Medical Bariatric Heavy-Duty Free-Standing Trapeze – 650 lb Capacity (13049SV)
Drive Medical Bariatric Heavy-Duty Trapeze Bar (Model 13049SV)
650 lb High-Capacity Rating, 180-Degree Swiveling Overhead Boom, and Free-Standing Reinforced Steel Base
Maintain your natural momentum and step out with absolute certainty. The Drive Medical Bariatric Heavy-Duty Trapeze Bar (13049SV) offers a premium, medical-grade environment solution meticulously engineered for individuals requiring substantial upper-body leverage, maximum stabilization, and unyielding overhead support during bedside transfers. Designed to stand completely independently on the floor, this high-capacity bariatric mobility aid allows users to reposition themselves in bed or safely assist in transfers to and from chairs, wheelchairs, or commodes. By bypassing the need for specialized structural bed headboards, this robust free-standing system brings exceptional self-reliance and fall mitigation directly to any homecare layout or clinical environment.
What makes this heavy-duty model truly unique is its highly sophisticated swiveling boom architecture combined with a massive structural capacity. The industrial-strength reinforced steel framework is engineered to sustain dynamic vertical leverage loads up to a demanding 650 pounds. The overhead boom section extends 37 inches and swivels smoothly across a full 180-degree arc, allowing caregivers to rotate the pull handle completely out of the way for lateral patient transfers or unobstructed bedside access. Outfitted with an adjustable sliding chain assembly, the triangular grab bar can be adjusted horizontally and vertically to achieve a customized grip layout tailored precisely to the user's arm reach. Finished in a high-impact, scratch-resistant Silver Vein powder coat, this premium system features a modular tool-free setup that ensures it is ready for immediate deployment.
Key Performance Features & Benefits
- 650 lb Bariatric Structural Capacity: Heavy-gauge reinforced steel construction provides absolute rigidity and unwavering stability under high-capacity leverage demands.
- 180° Swiveling Overhead Boom: Upper boom arm rotates smoothly from side to side, providing flexible handle placement and clearing the entry path for effortless caregiver access.
- Free-Standing Base Independence: Secure outrigger floor frame delivers absolute structural anchoring without requiring direct attachment clamps on a bed headboard.
- Fully Adjustable Grab Bar: Sliding overhead chain assembly permits precise custom horizontal placement along the 37-inch boom length and vertical height tuning.
- Tool-Free Modular Assembly: Simplified interlocking components snap together and lock firmly in minutes without complex home tools or permanent building modifications.
- Silver Vein Finish Coating: Clinical-grade powder finish delivers a professional look that stands entirely non-porous to resist scratching, chipping, and heavy sanitization loops.
- Drive Medical Lifetime Shield: Sourced from official inventory and backed by a premier limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on the structural steel frame chassis.
Equipment Specialist Insight: A true 180-degree swiveling boom is the definitive mechanical feature that sets the Drive Medical 13049SV apart from rigid bariatric transfer poles. Standard fixed overhead bars can block the vertical clear zone above the mattress, creating an obstruction during dynamic sling lifts or standing transfers. The swiveling outrigger solves this challenge by allowing you to unlatch the boom and swing it completely parallel to the wall when not in use. When installing this 74-pound heavy-duty system, clear the floor space behind the head end of the bed. Assemble the base components using the secure interlocking pins, and slide the wide outrigger feet underneath the frame corners. Ensure the vertical upright is perfectly perpendicular to the floor before sliding the grab handle chain into place, and test the swing radius to confirm total mechanical clearance before everyday bariatric transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 13049SV model arrive as a complete system, including both the overhead boom arm and the floor base?
A: Yes, absolutely. Unlike standard medium-duty consumer trapeze parts where bases and bars must be purchased separately, this high-capacity bariatric system is supplied as a comprehensive, integrated setup. The box includes the heavy-duty 51" x 31" floor outrigger base, the 72" vertical upright post, the 37" swiveling boom arm, the adjustable chain assembly, and the bariatric triangular grab bar.
Q: Can I use this free-standing bariatric trapeze base with extra-wide bariatric hospital beds or motorized smart frames?
A: Yes. Because the structural floor base stands completely independently and does not require clamps or mounting brackets attached directly to the bed frame, it is highly compatible with extra-wide 42", 48", and 54" bariatric homecare beds. Simply position the base behind the headboard, ensuring the vertical steel post completely clears the moving headrest during automated frame movements.
Q: Will the low outrigger floor bars interfere with the clearance paths of standard patient lift machinery?
A: The floor support base features a clean, wide-set horizontal outrigger design configured to slide smoothly underneath standard bariatric beds and around common medical frame legs. This keeps the steel bars flat and out of primary walking paths, leaving ample open floor space for navigating mobile bariatric floor lifts, roll-in bedside tables, or heavy-duty wheelchairs safely.
