Description
The Invacare Reliant 600 is the heavy-duty member of the Reliant family, built for patients up to 600 lb. Its wider, reinforced structure keeps bariatric transfers smooth and controlled for the resident and the caregiver.
- 600 lb weight capacity for bariatric care
- Battery-powered boom with hand pendant control
- Height range serves floor recovery and bed transfers
- Works with Invacare heavy-duty slings including the R140 series
- Power-base model includes an R140 sling in this listing
Bariatric transfers concentrate more force on every part of a lift, so a heavy-duty model is not just a bigger number on the frame. The Reliant 600 pairs its 600 lb rating with the same battery system and safety approach as the rest of the Reliant line, which keeps training consistent for staff who already know the 450. The hookup height runs from 28 in to 68 in, enough for floor recovery and for placing patients onto standard beds. Two models are stocked here, a manual-base version and a power-base version that ships with the R140 heavy-duty sling. Both use Invacare Reliant slings, including the 600 lb rated R140 and R141.

Why Choose the Invacare Reliant 600?
Standard lifts stop at 450 lb, which leaves bariatric care to rentals or risky manual moves. This model closes that gap inside the same Reliant system of slings, batteries and controls that caregivers already know.
- True system rating – the lift and its R140 series slings are both rated to 600 lb, so the working system is honest end to end, which is what a bariatric transfer plan needs
- Shared Reliant handling – controls and battery practice match the Reliant 450, so staff training carries over, which shortens the learning curve on a mixed fleet
- Sling included on RPL600-2 – the power-base configuration in this listing ships with the R140 heavy-duty sling, so it is ready for transfers on arrival, which removes a second order
Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight does the Reliant 600 hold?
It is rated for patients up to 600 lb. For the full rating to apply, pair it with a sling rated to 600 lb such as the Invacare R140 or R141.
What is the difference between the two models?
The RPL600-1 opens its base manually. The RPL600-2 opens its base under power and, in this listing, includes the R140 heavy-duty sling.
What is the lifting height range?
The sling hookup point adjusts from 28 in to 68 in, which covers lifting a patient from the floor and transfers to standard beds and chairs.
Can it lift someone from the floor?
Yes. The low end of the hookup range and the full body sling support floor recovery transfers within the 600 lb rating.
Which slings fit this lift?
Invacare Reliant slings fit, and the heavy-duty R140 and R141 models are the match for transfers near the 600 lb capacity.
