• Users requiring higher weight capacity without oversized equipment

• Bed, wheelchair, and floor transfers
• Facilities needing a versatile mid-tier lift solution

Maneuverability / Portability

The PL228 is designed to deliver higher capacity without sacrificing maneuverability. Its narrower base footprint and smooth-rolling casters allow caregivers to position the lift more easily around beds, chairs, and tight spaces compared to larger bariatric models.

The manually adjustable base opens for stability during lifts and closes for easier navigation through doorways and confined areas.

Support / Performance

Equipped with a reliable electric actuator system, the PL228 provides smooth, controlled lifting with minimal physical effort. The 500 lb capacity supports a wider range of users while maintaining stable and predictable lifting performance.

Its extended lifting range supports transfers from lower surfaces such as floors and raises users comfortably to beds, chairs, or mobility devices.

Comfort / Usability

The PL228 features a multi-point spreader bar design that helps distribute weight evenly, improving comfort and positioning during transfers. Its intuitive hand control allows caregivers to maintain close supervision and communication while operating the lift.

Design & Convenience

Built for real-world use, the PL228 offers a strong yet manageable frame that balances durability with usability. Optional accessories such as a digital scale or spare battery can enhance functionality for more demanding care routines.
