BestLift PL600 Bariatric Full Body Electric Patient Lift — 600 lb Capacity
Heavy-Duty Bariatric Elevation Architecture with 600 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 PL600 is a heavy-duty bariatric full-body electric patient lift engineered to deliver maximum power, stability, and comfort during complex patient transfers. Designed to support user weight capacities up to 600 lbs while maintaining a manageable net product weight of just 95.2 lbs, this fully electric lift eliminates physical strain for caregivers across homecare, assisted living, and clinical care environments.
Constructed from reinforced powder-coated steel tubing, the PL600 features an expansive vertical lifting trajectory ranging from 27.6 inches up to 69.1 inches, making it capable of floor-level recovery as well as transfers to high-profile medical beds. Operable via a user-friendly hand control pendant, both the boom height and the expandable base legs are powered 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 full-body slings and 4-inch rear locking casters, the PL600 can also be configured with an optional integrated digital weighing scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a transfer sling included with the BestLift PL600?
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 are the base legs expanded on the PL600?
The PL600 features fully powered electric base leg adjustments. The caregiver simply presses the base open/close buttons on the handheld remote control to widen or narrow the legs electrically.
Can the PL600 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.
