Description

Heavy-Duty. Bariatric. Secure. Built for Safer 600 lb Patient Transfers.

The Invacare Reliant 600 Heavy-Duty Hoyer Lift Machine is a powerful bariatric patient lift designed to safely support users weighing up to 600 lbs. Built for hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehab centers, assisted living environments, and homecare situations requiring higher-capacity transfer support, this hoyer lift machine provides a strong, secure, and dependable alternative to unsafe manual lifting.

If you are searching for a heavy duty hoyer lift that can handle bariatric transfers with stability, comfort, and caregiver safety in mind, the Invacare Reliant 600 is built for serious patient handling needs. Its high lift range supports transfers to higher surfaces, while its low-friction casters help improve rollability and caregiver control during daily use.

Why This Hoyer Lift Machine Stands Out

This lift is designed for caregivers and facilities that need higher weight capacity, stronger patient support, and dependable powered lifting.

✔️ 600 lb bariatric lifting capacity
✔️ Heavy-duty powered patient transfer support
✔️ High lift range for taller surfaces
✔️ Emergency lowering for power loss
✔️ Extra-wide 6-point swivel bar

Who This Bariatric Patient Lift Is Best For

The Invacare Reliant 600 is best for patients who require a stronger, higher-capacity lift and cannot safely stand, pivot, or transfer without full caregiver support.

✔️ Bariatric patients up to 600 lbs
✔️ Long-term care resident transfers
✔️ Hospitals and rehab facilities
✔️ Caregivers avoiding manual lifting
✔️ High-risk mobility support needs

This lift is ideal for transfers between beds, wheelchairs, commodes, chairs, and high surfaces when used with a properly selected compatible sling.

Two Versions Available – Low Base or Power Opening Low Base

The Invacare Reliant 600 is available in two powered configurations:

RPL600-1: Powered lift with low base
RPL600-2: Powered lift with power opening low base

Both versions provide electric lifting and a 600 lb safe working load. The main difference is the base opening function.

✔️ RPL600-1 Low Base: Strong powered lift with standard base operation for dependable bariatric transfer support.
✔️ RPL600-2 Power Opening Low Base: Adds powered base widening and narrowing for easier positioning around beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and commodes.

The power opening base option can be especially helpful for caregivers performing frequent transfers or working with heavier patients where easier base positioning is important.

Designed for Bariatric Safety & Stability

The Reliant 600 is built specifically to meet the needs of larger patients and higher-demand care environments.

✔️ Built for bariatric resident handling
✔️ Secure alternative to manual lifting
✔️ Wide base supports stability
✔️ Extra-wide swivel bar improves support

For facilities managing bariatric care, this lift helps reduce the physical demands placed on caregivers while improving resident safety and dignity during transfers.

Wide Lift Range for Floor & High-Surface Transfers

This floor lift for patients offers a high lift range that supports transfers from lower positions and up to higher surfaces.

✔️ Supports floor-level transfer needs
✔️ Transfers to higher surfaces
✔️ Useful for beds and chairs
✔️ Helps with resident repositioning

Its lift range is especially valuable in long-term care, rehab, and hospital settings where patients may need to transfer between different surface heights throughout the day.

Extra-Wide 360° Swivel Bar & Sling Support

The Reliant 600 includes an extra-wide padded swivel bar with 360-degree rotation and a six-point hook-up system.

✔️ Extra-wide bar improves positioning
✔️ 360° rotation supports flexibility
✔️ Six-point hookup improves sling support
✔️ Designed for bariatric sling use

This lift may be used with compatible Invacare sling options, including Heavy-Duty, Full Body/Comfort, Divided Leg/Universal, Easy Fit, Toileting, and Dress High Toileting sling styles. Mesh sling options such as model #R140 and mesh commode opening sling model #R141 may also be relevant depending on the patient’s needs.

Powered Electronics with Backup Safety Systems

The Invacare Reliant 600 is designed with caregiver safety and emergency response in mind.

✔️ Manual lowering during power loss
✔️ Emergency controls stop and lower
✔️ Anti-entrapment stops resistance movement
✔️ Quick-release battery reduces downtime

The electronics include a removable battery box located on the mast, an emergency off button, battery recharge alerts, and a charging station where a second battery can be kept ready for use. This helps keep the lift available for demanding care routines.

Designed for Facilities, LTC & Daily Bariatric Care

The Reliant 600 is an essential device for safer resident handling in hospitals and LTC environments.

✔️ Built for long-term care use
✔️ Helps reduce caregiver injury risk
✔️ Supports frequent daily transfers
✔️ Manufactured in ISO13485 facility

For care teams managing heavier patients, this heavy duty hoyer lift provides the capacity, safety features, and durability needed for demanding transfer routines.

Optional Digital Scale & Accessories

The Invacare Reliant Digital Scale can retrofit on Reliant 450 and Reliant 600 lifts for convenient patient weight tracking during transfers.

✔️ Four-button easy display
✔️ Automatic shut-off preserves battery
✔️ Useful for bariatric monitoring
✔️ Two-year limited warranty

Additional compatible sling and accessory options may include bariatric sling styles, full body slings, toileting slings, mesh slings, and replacement batteries depending on the care environment and transfer needs.

For questions about compatible slings, digital scales, replacement batteries, or Reliant 600 accessories, please contact us at 585-505-6665 for guidance.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping & Return Policy

At MedCare Mobility, we understand that purchasing medical and mobility equipment is an important decision. Our goal is to make the ordering, delivery, and return process as clear and straightforward as possible.

Because many of the products we offer are large, specialized, or shipped directly from manufacturer and distributor warehouses, shipping and return requirements may vary somewhat by product and brand. The policy below explains what you can generally expect when ordering from MedCare Mobility.

Shipping & Order Processing

We ship medical and mobility equipment to customers throughout the United States. Orders are processed as quickly as possible, and tracking information is provided once available.

Processing Time

Most in-stock orders are processed within approximately 1–3 business days. Processing may include order verification, warehouse preparation, packaging, and coordination with the manufacturer or distributor.

Some specialty equipment, made-to-order products, oversized items, or products shipping directly from a manufacturer may require additional processing time. Any estimated processing or lead time shown on an individual product page should be considered part of the expected fulfillment timeframe for that item.

Transit & Delivery Time

Once shipped, many standard orders arrive within approximately 3–7 business days. Larger medical equipment, freight shipments, specialty products, and certain manufacturer-direct orders may require additional transit time.

Tracking information will generally be emailed once the shipment has been processed by the carrier. If you have questions regarding the status of your order, please contact us at info@medcaremobility.com.

Alaska, Hawaii & Special Shipping Areas

Orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and certain remote or limited-access areas may be subject to additional shipping charges. If an additional charge is required after your order is reviewed, we will contact you before proceeding whenever additional payment is necessary.

Freight & Oversized Equipment

Hospital beds, patient lifts, large recliners, ramps, and other oversized medical equipment may ship by freight rather than standard parcel service. Unless a specific delivery service is stated on the product page or order, freight delivery does not automatically include inside delivery, assembly, installation, or removal of packaging.

30-Day Return Policy

We want you to feel comfortable ordering from MedCare Mobility. Most eligible products may be returned when a return is requested within 30 days of delivery, subject to the conditions and exclusions outlined below.

Eligible products generally include:

Electric and power wheelchairs
Manual and lightweight wheelchairs
Mobility scooters
Walkers and rollators
Patient lifts
Wheelchair ramps
Hospital and homecare beds
Eligible medical mattresses
Geriatric and medical recliner chairs
Overbed tables
Bathroom benches and shower chairs
Other eligible medical and mobility equipment

Return eligibility can vary by manufacturer and product type. Products specifically identified as non-returnable, custom, made-to-order, or otherwise subject to special return terms are governed by those terms.

Return Authorization

Please contact us before shipping any product back. Returns must first be approved and issued a Return Authorization (RA) and the appropriate return shipping address.

You may request a return by emailing info@medcaremobility.com or contacting our customer service team through the live chat on our website.

Please do not return merchandise to an address shown on the original shipping label unless specifically instructed to do so. Many products ship directly from manufacturer or distributor warehouses, and the correct return location may be different from the original shipping location.

Condition of Returned Merchandise

To qualify for a return and refund, the product must be returned:

In brand-new and unused condition
In its complete original manufacturer packaging
With all manuals, components, hardware, accessories, and included materials
Without damage, modification, assembly wear, stains, odors, or other signs of use
In resalable condition upon inspection by the receiving warehouse or manufacturer

We strongly recommend keeping the original box, pallet, protective materials, and packaging until you are certain that you intend to keep the equipment. Large medical equipment can be difficult or impossible to return safely without its original packaging.

Restocking Fees

Approved returns are subject to a mandatory restocking fee, generally ranging from 15% to 20% of the applicable product price. The exact restocking percentage varies depending on the manufacturer, brand, and type of equipment being returned.

These restocking charges are assessed to us by the manufacturer or distributing warehouse when merchandise is returned. MedCare Mobility does not add the fee simply as a return penalty; when the manufacturer requires the charge, we must pass the applicable amount through as part of processing the return.

If you would like to know the applicable restocking percentage for a particular product before ordering, please contact us and we will be happy to help whenever that information is available from the manufacturer.

Return Shipping & Shipping Charges

The customer is responsible for shipping charges associated with the order when making a standard return.

Customers are responsible for arranging for the approved merchandise to be returned to the return address provided with the Return Authorization. In certain cases, we may be able to provide a prepaid return label or coordinate return transportation for your convenience. When provided, the applicable shipping cost may be deducted from the final refund.

Because some medical equipment is oversized or requires freight transportation, prepaid labels or carrier call tags may not be available for every product. Our customer service team will provide the available return instructions when your return is authorized.

Non-Returnable Products

For health, hygiene, safety, customization, and manufacturer-policy reasons, certain products are not eligible for standard returns.

We currently do not accept returns on:

Parts & accessories
Wheelchair cushions and support accessories
Patient lift slings
Custom or made-to-order products
Products specifically identified as non-returnable on the product page

If a non-returnable product arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us promptly. Non-returnable status does not prevent us from assisting with a legitimate shipping damage, defect, warranty, or fulfillment issue in accordance with the applicable manufacturer and carrier procedures.

Damaged or Incorrect Orders

We take shipping damage seriously and will work with you to help resolve legitimate delivery issues.

If your product arrives damaged, please notify MedCare Mobility within 48 hours of delivery. Whenever possible, retain the shipping carton, pallet, packaging materials, and the product exactly as received and take clear photographs of the packaging and any visible damage.

Reporting damage promptly is important because carriers and manufacturers have limited timeframes for filing freight and shipping claims.

If you receive an incorrect product or believe there is a manufacturer defect, please contact us before returning or disposing of any merchandise or packaging so that we can provide the appropriate instructions.

Refused Deliveries

Please contact us before refusing a delivery unless the shipment has obvious significant freight damage and the carrier is documenting the damage at delivery.

A shipment that is refused for reasons unrelated to verified shipping damage may be treated as a standard return. Applicable restocking and shipping charges may therefore be deducted from the refund.

Return Shipping Deadline

Once a return has been approved and return instructions or a return label have been issued, the merchandise must be shipped within 72 hours unless MedCare Mobility provides different instructions in writing.

This is particularly important when a return is approaching the end of the applicable return period. Returns shipped outside the authorized timeframe may be refused by the manufacturer or warehouse and may no longer qualify for a refund.

Refund Processing

Refunds are processed after the returned merchandise has been received and inspected by the applicable warehouse or manufacturer and the return has been confirmed to meet the return requirements.

The applicable restocking fee, shipping charges associated with the order, and any other authorized return-related charges will be deducted from the amount eligible for refund.

If returned merchandise is used, damaged, incomplete, missing original packaging or components, or otherwise returned in a condition that prevents the manufacturer or warehouse from accepting it as new and resalable merchandise, the return may be refused or the refund may be reduced in accordance with the manufacturer’s assessment.

Custom & Made-to-Order Products

Products identified as custom, configured, made-to-order, special-order, or manufactured specifically for the customer cannot generally be canceled once production or manufacturer processing has begun and are not eligible for standard returns.

For custom products, cancellation may only be possible during the initial processing period and before production or customization begins. Because production schedules vary by manufacturer, we encourage customers to contact us immediately if a change is required.

If a custom product arrives damaged or has a legitimate manufacturing defect, we will work with the manufacturer to pursue the appropriate resolution, replacement components, repair, or other available remedy under the applicable manufacturer policy or warranty.

Questions Before Ordering?

Medical equipment can vary considerably in size, configuration, compatibility, and intended use. If you are unsure whether a product will work for your needs, we strongly encourage you to contact us before placing your order.

Our team is happy to help review product specifications, dimensions, options, compatibility, and available manufacturer information so you can make a more informed purchasing decision and reduce the possibility of needing a return.

For shipping, return, or product questions, contact us at info@medcaremobility.com or speak with us through the live chat on our website.
