Description
The Drive Lightweight Bariatric Bed is a full-electric bariatric homecare bed in widths of 42, 48 and 54 inches, built on an ultra-lightweight frame that one person can set up without links or tools. A dual motor assembly drives the head section and the bed height from the glow-in-the-dark pendant.
- Full electric: head section and bed height adjust by motor from the pendant
- Slat deck with no-sag support in 42, 48 and 54 in widths, easy to clean
- Ultra-lightweight frame — up to 100 lb lighter than typical bariatric beds
- Glow-in-the-dark pendant with LED power and lockout indicators
- 5 in casters, two locking and two unlocking, for moves and positioning
- Available bare or with half rails — choose your width and rail configuration on this page; mattress sold separately
Full-Electric Bariatric Support at a Lighter Weight
The Drive Lightweight Bariatric Full Electric Bed pairs a square tube steel frame and slat deck with scratch-resistant wood-grain bed ends. The self-contained, UL-approved motor is removable with the patient still in bed, and the bed ends carry the hi-lo motors for the height adjustment. The bed meets IEC 60601-2-52, 60601-1, 60601-1-2 and 60601-1-11, and its rail accessories meet FDA and ASTM entrapment guidelines.

Why Choose the Drive Lightweight Bariatric Bed?
Bariatric beds are usually the hardest beds to get into a home. This one is built to change that: the lightweight frame sets up by one person with no tools, while the dual motors, slat deck and 600 lb safe working load keep the capability a bariatric bed is bought for. With three widths and an optional half-rail configuration on this page, it is the clean starting point for the exact setup you need.
- Bariatric Capacity Without the Bariatric Moving Problem – up to 100 lb lighter than typical bariatric beds – one person can deliver and set it up
- Three Widths on One Page – 42, 48 and 54 in, bare or with half rails – fitted here, no separate listings
- A Deck With Nothing to Sag – slat support that wipes clean – no spring fatigue over years of use
- Controls You Can Find at Night – a glow pendant with power and lockout indicators – adjustments without waking the house
