Description

Reliable. Battery-Powered. Built for Safer Full-Body Transfers.

The Invacare Reliant 450 Electric Patient Hoist is a premium battery-powered transfer lift designed to make patient handling safer, smoother, and more comfortable for both caregivers and patients. Built for homecare, hospitals, rehab centers, assisted living, and long-term care environments, this electric patient hoist supports users up to 450 lbs and helps reduce the physical strain of manual transfers.

If you are searching for an electric patient lift for sale that offers strong lifting power, reliable battery operation, floor pickup capability, low-bed access, and broad sling compatibility, the Invacare 450 Reliant is one of the most trusted and widely used transfer lifts available today. Its wide lift range allows transfers from the floor, wheelchairs, commodes, beds, and high surfaces with at least 4.5” under-bed clearance, making it a highly versatile choice for real-world caregiving environments.

Two Versions Available – Manual Base or Power Opening Base

The Invacare Reliant 450 is available in two different configurations depending on caregiver needs and transfer frequency.

RPL450-1: Manual opening low-base model
RPL450-2: Power opening low-base model

Both versions include the same electric lifting system and 450 lb weight capacity. The primary difference is how the base legs widen and narrow during positioning.

✔️ Manual Base Version (RPL450-1)
The caregiver manually adjusts the base legs using the padded shifter handle. This version is excellent for caregivers seeking a more affordable powered patient lift while still benefiting from electric lifting support.

✔️ Power Opening Base Version (RPL450-2)
The powered base option electronically widens and narrows the legs with less physical effort. This is especially helpful for caregivers performing multiple daily transfers or caring for heavier patients where easier positioning is important.

Both versions provide excellent stability, maneuverability, and transfer flexibility for homecare and facility environments.

Why This Electric Patient Hoist Stands Out

This lift is designed for caregivers who need reliable electric lifting support, strong patient capacity, advanced safety systems, and dependable long-term daily performance.

✔️ 450 lb electric lifting capacity
✔️ Floor and high-surface transfers supported
✔️ Removable battery prevents downtime
✔️ Total pinch-point protection design
✔️ 360-degree padded swivel bar
✔️ Optional powered opening base available

Who This Invacare Reliant 450 Is Best For

The Invacare Reliant 450 is best for patients who cannot safely stand, pivot, or transfer independently and require full caregiver assistance.

✔️ Elderly users needing full transfer support
✔️ Patients with mobility limitations
✔️ Bariatric and heavier patient transfers
✔️ Caregivers reducing lifting strain
✔️ Rehab and assisted living facilities
✔️ Homecare providers needing powered support

This lift is ideal for bed-to-wheelchair transfers, wheelchair-to-commode transfers, chair transfers, floor recovery support, and high-surface transfers when used with the proper sling configuration.

Battery-Powered Electric Lifting System

The Reliant 450 uses a quiet, long-life motor combined with a removable battery-powered lifting system to provide smooth, controlled patient transfers with less physical effort from caregivers.

✔️ Quiet long-life electric motor
✔️ Smooth lifting and lowering operation
✔️ Hand pendant simplifies transfers
✔️ Removable quick-release battery pack

The electronic system includes two 24-volt batteries — one battery powers the lift while another can remain charging in the wall-mounted charging station. This helps reduce downtime and allows caregivers to continue transfers more efficiently.

The quick-release battery system is especially valuable in care facilities or busy homecare environments where transfers happen frequently throughout the day.

Wide Lift Range for Floor & Bed Transfers

One of the strongest advantages of this electric patient hoist is its wide lift range, allowing safe transfers from both low and elevated surfaces.

✔️ Floor-level recovery transfers supported
✔️ Bed-to-wheelchair transfers simplified
✔️ High-surface lifting capability
✔️ 4.5” under-bed clearance access

The low base design allows the lift to roll under many beds and chairs, while the wide lift range improves flexibility across different patient transfer situations.

Advanced Safety Features for Caregiver Confidence

The Reliant 450 includes multiple advanced safety protections designed to improve patient safety during transfers.

✔️ Manual emergency lowering system
✔️ Anti-entrapment lowering protection
✔️ Emergency off button included
✔️ Total pinch-point protection covers moving parts
✔️ Rear locking caster brakes standard

If the boom encounters resistance while lowering, the anti-entrapment system automatically stops movement to help reduce injury risk. In the event of total power loss, the manual emergency lowering system allows the patient to be lowered safely and gently.

360° Swivel Bar & Sling Compatibility

The padded swivel bar rotates 360 degrees and includes a six-point hookup system for broad sling compatibility and smoother patient positioning.

✔️ Supports Invacare chain-free slings
✔️ Compatible with chain and strap slings
✔️ Six-point hookup improves positioning
✔️ Padded bar adds patient comfort

Compatible sling types include:

Heavy-duty slings
Full body / comfort slings
Divided leg / universal slings
Easy fit slings
Toileting slings
Dress toileting high slings

The correct sling depends on patient size, posture, head support needs, transfer goals, and toileting requirements.

Optional Digital Scale Available

The Invacare Reliant Digital Scale can retrofit onto Reliant 450 and Reliant 600 lifts for convenient patient weighing during transfers.

✔️ Four-button easy operation
✔️ Automatic shut-off preserves battery
✔️ Useful for rehab and clinical care
✔️ Helps monitor patient weight safely
