GRAVIS FLP600 BARIATRIC ELECTRIC PATIENT LIFT 600 LB CAPACITY OVERVIEW If you're on this page, chances are you've either outgrown a smaller patient lift, been told a 450 or 500 lb lift isn't rated for your loved one, or you're caring for someone whose weight has made standard equipment feel unsafe. That's a hard place to be you're already doing the work of caring for someone heavier than most equipment is built for, and now you're being asked to make a major purchase decision at the same time. Here's the direct version the Gravis FLP600 was built for exactly this situation. Not "kind of works for bariatric" rated for a genuine 600 lb Safe Working Load, built with a reinforced frame, wider base, and the same premium electronics you'd find in hospital equipment. It's what a nurse or facility administrator would pick if the same choice landed on their desk. What you're really getting the ability to get your loved one out of bed without dread, to help them to the commode without asking a neighbor for help, and to safely lift them off the floor if they end up down there. All from a lift that carries Drive Medical's Lifetime Limited frame warranty and 5 years on electronics the longest coverage in this category. Not a compromise, not a stretch. The right lift for the job. If your patient is under 500 lb and you don't need this much capacity, our Levantar FLP500 500 lb capacity is a better fit and costs less. If you need a foldable/portable lift, look at our Invacare I-Lift 450. Call 713 695-4939 and we'll help you decide.

That's wider than a standard 30" interior doorway typical bedroom, bathroom, and hallway doors will not accommodate this lift. You'll need 36" ADA-compliant doorways or wider common in main entries, some remodeled homes, and most healthcare facilities. This is a real trade-off for the bariatric capacity the wider base is what allows the lift to safely handle 600 lb. Before ordering, walk your home and measure every doorway the lift needs to pass through. If a bedroom doorway is only 30", the lift can't safely enter that room, and the FLP500 with a 27. 6" closed base or the I-Lift 450 27. 8" closed may be a better fit. Call 713 695-4939 to talk through your specific home before ordering. Slings sold separately Like most bariatric lifts, the FLP600 does not include a sling in the box you'll need to add a bariatric-rated sling typically $180$320 for a 600 lb-rated full-body sling. Standard slings are not rated for bariatric patient weight and should NOT be substituted. See the Accessories section below or call us at 713 695-4939 and we'll help you pick a bariatric-rated sling that matches this lift. BUILT FOR THE PATIENTS OTHER LIFTS CAN'T SAFELY HANDLE Caring for someone over 500 lb is a category of caregiving that most families and even many facilities aren't prepared for. Standard patient lifts top out at 400500 lb. Most home care equipment is built with an assumption about patient size that doesn't include bariatric patients. The result is that the caregiver usually a family member ends up trying to move a heavy loved one with equipment that's technically maxed out at their weight, or worse, without equipment at all. That's dangerous for the patient falls, dropped transfers and dangerous for the caregiver back injuries, chronic pain, and too often injuries that end the caregiver's ability to keep providing care. The Gravis FLP600 exists to solve that specific problem. The 600 lb Safe Working Load gives real headroom for patients in the 450600 lb range. The reinforced frame with wider base stays stable during transfers of very heavy patients no tipping, no wobble. The powered lifting motor handles the actual weight, so one caregiver can safely operate the lift instead of needing two people. The redundant manual controls mean the lift works even during power outages critical for facilities and home caregivers alike. The obstruction sensor prevents accidents. The LCD safety module keeps you informed. And the Lifetime Limited frame warranty means Drive Medical stands behind this equipment for years which matters when you're spending real money on equipment you'll rely on daily. A great fit for You're caring for a loved one over 500 lb and your current lift or the lift you were considering doesn't have enough capacity You've had a close call with equipment failing at capacity lift straining, base tipping, or sling manufacturer warnings about weight You're running a long-term care facility, nursing home, or rehab center and need one lift that handles every patient, not multiple lifts for different weight ranges Your loved one has been discharged from a hospital or rehab facility that used a bariatric lift, and you need equivalent capability at home You want equipment with the longest possible warranty coverage because replacing a bariatric lift is a major expense Your home has ADA-compliant doorways 36" or wider or you're okay with the lift staying in one or two rooms KEY FEATURES What you'll noticein daily use FeatureWhat it really means for you 600 lb Safe Working LoadHighest bariatric capacity availableGenuine 600 lb rated capacity for bariatric patients.

Reinforced frame wider baseStability at high patient weightsThe 32" closed / 46" open base isn't there to look tough it's there because a wider stance is what keeps the lift stable when a 550600 lb patient is suspended. Narrow bases tip wide bases don't. 27" to 76" total lift rangeBoom lifts from 33" to 76"Lifts patients from low floor positions to standard-height beds, exam tables, and chairs.
