Hydraulic Patient Lift from Best Care

The PL400H is Bestcare's hydraulic floor lift for home use, with a listed capacity of 400 pounds. A caregiver raises the boom with a hydraulic pump, and the six-point spreader bar is the attachment point for a compatible sling. The lifting height runs from 20.9 inches at the low end to 68.2 inches at the high end.

A caregiver opens or closes the legs by hand, widening the stance around a chair or narrowing it for a doorway. Rear casters are 4 inches and lock; front casters are 3 inches. The frame is powder-coated steel tube. The lift is also described as taking apart quickly when it needs to be moved.

Yes. Bestcare lists a battery-power upgrade for the PL400H, sold as the PL400HE kit under part number KIT-TA23-PL400. That kit is a separate item, not included with the hydraulic lift itself. A digital weigh scale is also listed as an optional accessory. The standard PL400H remains a manual hydraulic pump lift until an upgrade is added.

The PL400H is listed with a six-point spreader bar, so it is used with a compatible six-point sling sized for the person being transferred. The bar is part of the lift; the sling is typically chosen separately unless a package says otherwise. Always match the sling style and size to this spreader bar and to the transfer being done.

On the PL400H, a caregiver works a hydraulic pump to raise the boom. Bestcare also offers the PL400HE, a battery-powered version of the same platform, and a retrofit kit (KIT-TA23-PL400) that converts the hydraulic model. Capacity is 400 pounds on the PL400H, with a 20.9- to 68.2-inch lifting height and a six-point bar. The choice is about how the boom is raised.
