Protekt 500 Electric Full-Body Lift, 500 lb
Protekt 500 Electric Full-Body Lift — 500 lb, Floor-Capable
Overview
The Protekt 500 is a full-electric, battery-powered full-body lift built for safe, smooth transfers between a bed, chair, wheelchair, or commode — and up off the floor when needed. A hand pendant raises and lowers the boom with no pumping required, and a six-point spreader bar with clip-free hookups accepts 2-, 4-, or 6-point slings, so attachment is fast and you can match the sling to the situation. With a 500 lb capacity, it handles a wide range of transfers with steady, controlled power.
It's designed for real rooms: a low 4.7-inch base slides under most low beds, an ergonomic foot pedal opens and locks the base hands-free around chairs and wheelchairs, and dual rear locking casters keep it stable. Safety features include manual emergency lowering and an emergency stop, while a 24-volt battery delivers 20-plus lifts per charge and a modular design keeps maintenance and parts replacement simple. An optional digital scale is available, and the lift is backed by a 3-year frame, 2-year electronics, and 1-year battery warranty. A sling is selected separately.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The 500 is the workhorse full-electric lift — the battery boom means no hand-pumping, and the six-point spreader bar with clip-free hookups makes swapping slings quick while taking the guesswork out of attachment. The details that matter day to day: the low 4.7-inch base actually slides under most beds so you can get positioned properly, and the hands-free foot pedal opens the legs around a chair or wheelchair without anyone bending down. It's floor-capable, so it can also recover someone from the floor. Slings are chosen separately — match the style (full-body, divided-leg, commode, or bathing) to the need. If you ever need more than 500 lbs, the Protekt 600 is the very same platform with a wider base for extra stability. It ships by ground carrier, and the warranty covers the frame for 3 years, electronics for 2, and battery for 1.

Is a sling included?
Slings are selected separately so you can match the style to the need — full-body, divided-leg, commode, or bathing. The six-point clip-free spreader bar fits 2-, 4-, or 6-point slings.
Can it lift from the floor?
Yes. It's floor-capable, and the low 4.7″ base slides under most low beds for positioning in tight spaces.
How is the 500 different from the Protekt 600?
They're the same platform. The 600 adds capacity (600 lb) and a wider base for extra stability. Choose the 500 if the weight is comfortably under 500 lbs.
A sling is sold separately. Retail packaging and specifications may be updated by the manufacturer without notice. This is a heavy item; confirm proper sling selection and fit before lifting, ensure caregivers are trained on safe operation, and always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
