Bestcare PL228 Full Body Patient Lift

Why choose the Bestcare PL228

The Bestcare PL228 is a full-body patient lift rated for 500 lb, built for caregivers who need to move a person safely between bed, chair, wheelchair and toilet without manual lifting. It shares the compact 44.9" base length and 4.5" base height of the PL182 but raises the safe working load to 500 lb, which suits heavier users in small rooms with low beds.

Who it is best for

• Home caregivers and facilities transferring a person up to 500 lb who cannot bear weight
• Families who want to reduce the risk of back injury from manual transfers
• Heavier users up to 500 lb in rooms with limited space
• Low beds where base height matters

What to check before you buy

• Confirm the user's weight is comfortably below the lift's rated capacity
• Measure the clearance under the bed and around chairs so the base legs fit
• Choose a compatible sling in the correct size (full-body slings are sized by weight and height)
• Check whether you want the optional digital scale to weigh the user during transfers

Frequently asked questions

Does a patient lift need a sling?
Yes. Every full-body lift needs a compatible sling. Sling size depends on the user's weight and build; our team can help you pick one.

Is the PL228 suitable for bariatric users?
It is rated to 500 lb. For users above that, look at the Bestcare PL600 (600 lb) or a dedicated bariatric lift.
