Bestcare | BestLift PL228 | Full Body Patient Lift for Secure Transfers in Tight Spaces with Easy Wheelchair & Commode Access
The Bestcare BestLift® PL228 Full Body Patient Lift offers an ideal solution for safe and efficient patient transfers, combining form and function in a compact design.
Perfect for small rooms with low beds, it features a base length of 44.9” and a maximum width of 42.9”, making it a versatile choice for bariatric patients.
The lift can be used to transfer patients from the floor, bed, or any seated surface, with base legs that open to roll in close to wheelchairs and commodes.
With a robust 500lb lifting capacity, the BestLift PL228 operates on a 24VDC 5AH rechargeable battery and includes a charging system with a low charge and load capacity warning.
The hand-operated base opening allows easy access to wheelchairs and commodes, while the low 4.5" base height ensures maximum stability and fits under most beds.
The lift’s lightweight aluminum frame weighs just 96 lbs but offers a full 500lb capacity, making it easy to maneuver and ideal for both home and facility use.
Designed for maximum reliability, the PL228 features dual user controls, allowing operation through either the hand control pendant or directly on the control box.
This ensures the lift remains functional in case of any malfunctions.
Additionally, it includes an emergency backup system, a six-point spreader bar compatible with most 4- or 6-point slings, and an emergency stop button for added safety.
Whether for in-home or nursing facility use, the Bestcare BestLift PL228 provides caregivers with a safe, efficient way to transfer patients with minimal physical effort.
Key features include overload protection, a built-in battery gauge, and a foot pedal for easy base opening, ensuring that patient mobility is enhanced with comfort and security.
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Bestcare BestLift® PL228 Full Body Patient Lift as a reliable, high-performance option for caregivers and healthcare providers seeking an easy-to-use, durable lift for patient transfers.
