BestLift PL400HE Full Body Electric Patient Lift — 400 lb Capacity
Heavy-Duty Powered Elevation Architecture with 400 lb Safe Working Load, 27.6″ to 69.1″ Lifting Trajectory, Power-Operated Base Leg Expansion, 6-Point Spreader Bar, and Optional Digital Scale Compatibility
The BestLift PL400HE is a fully electric full-body patient lift engineered to deliver smooth, controlled, and effortless transfers across both home healthcare and long-term care facility settings. Supporting user weight capacities up to 400 lbs while maintaining a manageable net product weight of just 95.2 lbs, this power lift eliminates physical lifting strain for caregivers during everyday transitions between beds, wheelchairs, commodes, and floor-level positions.
Constructed from durable powder-coated steel tubing, the PL400HE features an expansive vertical lifting trajectory ranging from 27.6 inches up to 69.1 inches, making it fully capable of emergency floor recovery as well as transfers to high-profile medical beds. Operable via an intuitive hand control pendant, both the boom elevation and the expandable base legs are driven by electric actuators—widening the base legs from 24.9 inches to 42.9 inches at the press of a button. Equipped with a 6-point spreader bar compatible with most standard full-body slings, a manual stop safety switch, and tool-free assembly, the PL400HE can also be configured with an optional integrated digital weighing scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a transfer sling included with the BestLift PL400HE?
No, transfer slings are sold separately so caregivers can select the appropriate material, size, and style (such as full-body mesh, solid fabric, or commode cutout) required for the patient's specific physical needs.
How does the PL400HE compare to the manual hydraulic PL400?
The PL400HE features fully electric dual actuators that powered-raise the boom and power-adjust the base legs via a hand control pendant. The PL400 relies on a manual hydraulic pump handle for elevation and a manual lever for base expansion.
Can the PL400HE perform emergency floor recovery lifts?
Yes. The boom lowers down to 27.6 inches from the floor, allowing caregivers to connect a full-body sling to a patient who has fallen onto the floor and raise them safely to a bed or chair.
