BestLift PL228 Electric Patient Lift — 500 lb Capacity

The BestLift PL228 Electric Patient Lift — 500 lb Capacity is rated for 500 lb. Choose a lift rated 50-100 lb above the heaviest person it will lift, accounting for the weight of the sling and any clothing or supports.

It's a Full-Body Electric (Heavy-Duty). Full-body lifts handle users who can't bear weight at all, lifting them via a sling from one surface to another (bed to chair, chair to commode).

Patient lift slings are sold separately because the right sling depends on the user's weight, mobility level, and the transfers being performed. Call (803) 926-1493 with your situation and we'll recommend the right sling.

Most patient lift batteries deliver 50-100 lift cycles per full charge. Charge the lift overnight when not in use, or on a wall charger between transfers. A full charge from empty takes 4-8 hours. Plan to replace the battery every 2-3 years of daily use.

Patient lifts are sometimes covered by Medicare Part B as Durable Medical Equipment when prescribed for use at home. Coverage depends on your specific plan and a doctor's prescription documenting medical necessity. We don't bill Medicare directly — we sell to consumers and authorized DME providers; check with your provider before ordering.

Yes — free curbside delivery is included on the BestLift PL228 Electric Patient Lift — 500 lb Capacity to any address in the continental United States. Lift Gate and White Glove Delivery upgrades are available — current pricing for each is shown in the Customize & Buy panel on this page.

Return eligibility depends on the product. Several categories — including lift chairs, power chairs, mobility scooters, and certain personal-care items — are non-returnable or subject to restocking and freight charges. Please call (803) 926-1493 before ordering and we'll make sure you get the right product the first time.
