Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the PBPLSM001 and the Drive Medical 13023SV? +
Both are Drive Medical hydraulic patient lifts with 450 lb capacity, but they differ in three meaningful ways:
- Lifting range: The PBPLSM001 lifts from 22" to 64". The 13023SV lifts from 17.5" to 72" — a significantly higher maximum that matters for Hi-Lo adjustable hospital beds at their highest settings.
- Frame warranty: The PBPLSM001 carries a 3-year limited frame warranty. The 13023SV carries a Lifetime limited frame warranty — the strongest available on a hydraulic lift.
- Latex: The PBPLSM001 contains natural rubber latex components. The 13023SV does not have this restriction. For patients with latex sensitivity, the 13023SV is the correct choice.
The PBPLSM001 is the correct choice for standard home care transfers in residential environments where the bed height is standard and latex sensitivity is not a concern. Call us to confirm which fits your specific situation: 866-218-0902
What slings are compatible with the PBPLSM001? +
The PBPLSM001 uses a 6-point swivel bar that accepts both 4-point and 6-point sling attachment configurations — compatible with most major patient sling brands.
Sling type selection depends on the patient's clinical condition and transfer type:
- Full body / hammock slings: For patients who cannot bear any weight and require full postural support throughout the transfer. Most common for home care.
- Divided leg / universal slings: For patients who require toileting access or who have lower extremity positioning needs. The divided leg design allows access for personal hygiene.
- 4-point vs 6-point: Most home care transfers use 4-point slings. 6-point provides additional stability for patients with less postural control or those who require a more upright seated position during transfer.
Sling selection should be guided by the patient's physician, nurse, or therapist. Call us to discuss compatible sling options and sizing: 866-218-0902
Can the PBPLSM001 be used to lift a patient from the floor? +
The PBPLSM001 has a minimum boom height of 22" — which is the lowest point the spreader bar reaches from sling attachment. This is higher than some other hydraulic lifts (the Invacare 9805P reaches down to 20"), but floor lifts are not a primary design specification for this model.
Practically: A patient lying flat on the floor will need to be positioned in the sling before the lift is positioned over them. The 6.5" floor clearance allows the base to slide under the patient's body or beside them on most floor surfaces. Whether the 22" minimum is sufficient for a floor transfer depends on the patient's body dimensions and the sling configuration used.
If floor transfers are a regular part of the care situation — for a patient who experiences falls and needs to be lifted from the floor frequently — the Invacare 9805P (20" minimum) may be a better fit. Call us to discuss: 866-218-0902
