Drive GRAVIS Floor Lift – 600 lb Capacity, Power Base (FLP600)
The Drive Medical GRAVIS Floor Lift (FLP600) is a premier, heavy-duty powered transfer solution engineered for safe, controlled bariatric patient transfers while minimizing physical strain on caregivers. With a robust 600 lb weight capacity and an exceptionally wide lifting range of 33" to 76", 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 transfers.
Its contemporary arched mast is more than a styling choice: the open curve maximizes swing room so the patient is far less likely to bump the central column during rotation. An expanded six-point cradle with spring clips spreads the sling across a broader footprint, cutting down on the chest-and-shoulder "sling squeeze" common in traditional bariatric lifts. And because the base widens and narrows through the hand pendant — no heavy foot levers — caregivers can power the chassis legs open to clear oversized armchairs, power recliners, and wide wheelchair bases with the press of a button.
Advanced Safety & Smart Tech
- Intelligent LCD Control Module: A built-in digital display continually monitors lift operation, tracking complete lift cycles, real-time battery health, and maintenance countdowns.
- Integrated Obstruction Sensors: Smart proximity switches automatically lock and freeze boom movement if an object, patient limb, or caregiver is caught beneath the descending frame.
- Weight Overload Safeguard: Immediate audible and visual alerts on the control unit if the load exceeds the safe 600 lb working limit.
- Redundant Dual Controls: A backup control panel mounted on the mast keeps the lift fully operable even if the primary hand pendant cord is damaged or severed.
Key Features
- 600 lb High-Capacity Core: Reinforced framing engineered for stable, smooth bariatric transfers.
- True Floor-to-Bed Range: A 33" to 76" vertical boom range handles everything from floor recovery to high bariatric beds.
- Powered Leg Expansion: Base opens and closes electronically from the pendant — no manual foot levers.
- Low-Profile 3" Front Casters: Slide easily under low-frame bariatric beds and modern furniture.
- Flexible Dual Charging: Charge the battery pack mounted on the lift, or detach it to swap with an external wall dock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this lift come with a transfer sling?
No. Because bariatric patients have very different support needs — full-body, mesh commode, divided-leg, or amputee configurations — slings are sold separately. The six-point universal cradle hooks onto any standard Drive Medical or universal-loop bariatric sling.
What happens if the battery dies while a patient is suspended?
The lift includes an emergency mechanical release on the central actuator column. If the battery drains completely, a caregiver can twist the emergency release dial to slowly and safely lower the patient onto a bed or wheelchair without electrical power.
Can the electronics be wiped down and sanitized regularly?
Yes. The control box, battery shell, hand pendant, and mast are built to a highly moisture-resistant rating and can be wiped clean with standard EPA-approved hospital sanitizing cloths and germicidal sprays without damaging the internal circuitry. Do not submerge the electronics in water.
