Drive GRAVIS Floor Lift – 600 lb Capacity, Power Base (FLP600)
Drive Medical GRAVIS Bariatric Powered Floor Lift — 600 lb Capacity
Bariatric Patient Elevation Architecture with 600 lb Safe Working Load, 33″ to 76″ Vertical Boom Reach, Arched Clearance Mast, 6-Point Anti-Squeeze Cradle, Powered Leg Expansion, and Smart LCD Diagnostics Module
The Drive Medical GRAVIS Floor Lift (Model: FLP600) is a premier, heavy-duty powered transfer solution engineered for safe, controlled bariatric patient transfers while eliminating physical strain on caregivers. Engineered with a robust 600 lb weight capacity and an exceptionally wide lifting range of 33 inches to 76 inches, this medical-grade floor lift raises individuals directly from the floor up to high-clearance therapy surfaces and specialized bariatric hospital beds—making it as capable for emergency floor recoveries as it is for everyday bedside transfers.
Its contemporary arched mast design is purposefully shaped to maximize swing clearance, preventing the user from bumping against the central column during rotation. An expanded six-point cradle equipped with spring safety clips spreads the sling across a broader footprint, significantly reducing chest-and-shoulder "sling squeeze" common in traditional bariatric lifts. Featuring powered base leg expansion operated directly through the hand pendant—eliminating heavy manual foot levers—caregivers can effortlessly spread the chassis to navigate around oversized armchairs, power recliners, and wide wheelchair frames.
Key Features & Benefits
- 600 lb Heavy-Duty Transfer Rating: Reinforced framing engineered to deliver smooth, secure, and stable transfers for bariatric patients up to 600 lbs.
- True Floor-to-Bed Vertical Boom Range: Wide 33″ to 76″ elevation trajectory easily manages emergency floor recovery lifts up to high bariatric care beds.
- Arched Mast & 6-Point Cradle System: Curved column increases patient clearance, while the 6-point spreader bar eliminates painful shoulder squeeze during elevation.
- Power-Operated Leg Expansion: Base legs open and close electronically from the hand pendant at the push of a button—no strenuous foot levers required.
- Intelligent LCD Diagnostic Display: Integrated LCD screen tracks completed lift cycles, real-time battery health status, and maintenance countdowns.
- Advanced Safety Sensor Suite: Integrated proximity obstruction sensors lock boom movement if obstacles are detected, paired with overload sensors and dual-control backup panels.
- Low 2.9″ Ground Clearance & Dual Charging: Low-profile 3″ front casters slide under low bed frames, while flexible dual charging allows on-lift or wall-dock battery charging.
Patient Transfer & Ergonomics Specialist Insight: Bariatric transfers present unique challenges, particularly regarding patient comfort and caregiver physical safety. The GRAVIS FLP600 solves both: its 6-point cradle spreads sling attachment points to prevent shoulder compression, while the power-opening base eliminates the physical strain of stomping on manual base pedals to clear wide recliners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this lift come with a transfer sling included?
No. Because bariatric patients have highly individualized support requirements—such as full-body, mesh commode, divided-leg, or amputee slings—slings are sold separately. The 6-point universal cradle hooks onto any standard Drive Medical or universal-loop bariatric sling.
What happens if the battery drains completely while a patient is lifted?
The GRAVIS FLP600 features a manual emergency lowering mechanism located on the central actuator column. In the event of total power loss, a caregiver can manually turn the emergency release dial to safely and smoothly lower the patient to a bed or chair.
Can the lift frame and electronics be sanitized regularly?
Yes. The control box, battery housing, hand pendant, and mast are built with moisture-resistant protection and can be wiped clean using standard hospital-grade disinfectant wipes and germicidal sprays. Do not submerge the electronic components in liquid.
