Why They Love It: The power lift has a high lifting range and patient weight range to accommodate patients up to 600 pounds.

Invacare Reliant 600 Heavy-Duty Power Lift Overview
The Reliant 600 Lift is a heavy-duty bariatric lift designed to provide safe and reliable transfers for bariatric patients up to 600 pounds. Having the right equipment to meet the needs of the bariatric population reduces the risk of injury to the patient and staff members.
The patient lift includes an extra-wide padded swivel bar with hooks for mounting a patient sling. The bar’s six-point hookup aids in evenly lifting to surface heights up to 68 inches. The lift with sling accommodates lifting and lowering from a bed to a bathing unit, commode, wheelchair, and more.

Power or Manual Operated Low Base Opening

- The powered low-base model (RPL600-2) has an easy hand pendant control to open and close the base legs. With the touch of a button, it closes for a narrow base when moving it into place and then opens to the maximum width of 41 inches for optimal stability when lifting the patient from a bed or wheelchair. The base power functions are located below the boom, making it easy to operate both functions from the remote.
- The manual base model (RPL600-1) has a powered boom but requires the caregiver to use the mechanical lever to open and close the base manually.
