Drive Medical Bellavita Auto Bath Tub Lift with Reclining Back
Drive Medical Bellavita Auto Bath Lift — Ultra-Lightweight Battery-Powered Tub Lift
Ultra-Low Profile Motorized Bath Elevation Architecture with 300 lb Weight Capacity, 2.6″ Minimum Seat Descent, 50° Recline Backrest, Tool-Free Suction Mounting, and Floating Waterproof Control Pendant
The Drive Medical Bellavita Auto Bath Lift (Model: 477400252) is an ultra-lightweight, battery-powered bathtub lift engineered to provide safe, comfortable, and independent bathtub entry and exit. As one of the lowest-profile bath lifts available, the Bellavita lowers the seat down to an incredible 2.6 inches from the tub floor for maximum water immersion, and rises up to 18.9 inches to enable smooth, level transfers directly from the tub rim. Designed with user comfort in mind, the backrest automatically reclines up to 50 degrees as the seat reaches its lowest point, allowing for an ergonomic and relaxing soak.
Built from high-impact plastic with a stable dual-column lifting frame, the Bellavita supports user capacities up to 300 lbs while weighing just 20.5 lbs total. The lift separates into two lightweight components for effortless installation, removal, and transport without permanent plumbing or electrical modifications. Operated via a watertight, floating hand control featuring a built-in safety mechanism that prevents lowering if the battery power is too low to raise the user back up, the Bellavita is the ultimate solution for home bathroom accessibility.

Bathroom Safety Specialist Insight: What makes the Drive Bellavita exceptional is its safety-first battery management system. The floating hand control monitors voltage in real time—if there isn't enough charge left to raise you back up out of the tub, the internal safety logic won't allow the lift to lower you down in the first place. This smart design gives users and caregivers absolute peace of mind during independent bath routines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Bellavita bath lift fit into my standard bathtub?
Yes. The Bellavita is designed to fit almost all standard bathtubs. Its six suction-cup feet adhere securely to smooth tub bottoms, and its tool-free design allows it to be installed or removed in minutes without damaging the tub.
What happens if the hand control battery dies while I am in the bathtub?
The Bellavita features a built-in safety protection feature. The hand control constantly monitors power levels and will not permit the lift to lower you into the tub unless there is sufficient battery charge remaining to raise you back to the top rim.
How do I charge the battery for the bath lift?
The rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery is built directly into the waterproof hand control pendant. Simply disconnect the hand control from the lift cable and plug it into the included wall charger between uses.
