Description
The Invacare Reliant 450 is a battery-powered full body lift rated for patients up to 450 lb. It lifts from the floor and from high surfaces, so one lift covers bed, chair, commode and floor recovery transfers.
- 450 lb weight capacity for full body transfers
- Height range lifts from floor level to high surfaces
- Removable battery pack charges on a wall-mounted station
- Total pinch-point protection on moving parts
- Low 4.5 in base height slides under most beds
Powered lifts exist to protect two people at once, the patient in the sling and the caregiver at the handle. The Reliant 450 answers with a wide, stable base, a quiet long-life motor and a battery system built around uptime, since one pack works while the second charges. The padded shifter handle on the manual-base model opens and locks the legs without bending to the floor, and the power-base model opens them from the hand pendant. Anti-entrapment and pinch-point protection are built into the boom and base, which matters most during tired end-of-day transfers. Both models share the same 450 lb rating, hookup height range and sling compatibility.
Features and Benefits
Power and Battery System
A lift that is waiting on a charge is a lift that does not get used, so the power system is a safety feature.
- Two 24-volt battery packs, one on the lift and one on the wall charger
- Removable pack swaps in seconds to end charging downtime
- Hand pendant raises and lowers the boom under load
- Emergency stop and manual lowering for power failures
Base and Handling
Base geometry decides which beds and chairs the lift can actually serve.
- 4.5 in base clearance fits under most home and facility beds
- Base opens to 41 in wide for stability and closes to 26.5 in for doorways
- Low-friction casters improve rollability on hard floors and carpet
- Multi-grip push handle is angled to reduce wrist strain

Why Choose the Invacare Reliant 450?
Lift buyers compare capacity first, but daily success depends on base clearance, battery uptime and safety protection. This model pairs a 450 lb rating with a low base and a two-battery system at a mid-range price.
- Two-battery uptime – one pack charges while the other works, so the lift is ready for every transfer, which removes the skipped-lift temptation that causes injuries
- Low base access – the 4.5 in clearance slides under low beds that stop taller lifts, so one lift serves the whole room, which simplifies fleet and home buying
- Pinch-point protection – moving parts are guarded at the boom and base and the boom stops on resistance, so skin and fingers stay safer, which matters most with confused patients

How high and low does it lift?
The sling hookup point runs from 24 in at its lowest to 74 in at its highest, which covers lifting from the floor and placing onto high beds and surfaces.
How does charging work?
The lift ships with two 24-volt battery packs and a wall-mounted charging station. One pack powers the lift while the other charges, and packs swap with a quick release.
