Product Description
Intended Use
The Bestlift® PL350CT allows the patient to be lifted and
transferred safely with minimal physical effort provided by the
operator. This is due to it being a full electric lift . The PL350CT
uses a special clip sling that will make transferring the patient
more comfortable. The PL 350CT is also foldable and can be
stored away in small spaces and ts in the trunk of your car.
With the PL350CT patients can be lifted from oor to bed with
ease. Additionally, patients can be moved in and out of the car
effortlessly as a result of our special spreader bar. With the
addition of the optional battery pack you will never have to be
worried about your lift not being charged and ready for use.
The PL350CT is intended to be used with patients who are
completely immobile or totally dependent on the patient lift for
transfers. The PL350CT is intended to be used for transfers
of the patient in and out of car, bed, their wheelchair, to and
from the commode, or any other type of surface. The special
spreader bar is intended to make transferring patients in and
out of the car easier. The PL350CT is foldable and can t in
small spaces as well as the trunks of most cars. The PL350CT
is intended to be operated by one caregiver who will perform
the lift and transfer. Transfers should always be done on a at
dry surface and are not intended to be used in high humidity
environments for extended amounts of time.

following condition range:
• -25°C to +5°C (-13°F to 41°F), and
• +5°C to +35°C (41°F to 95°F) at a non-condensing relative humidity 0% to 90%
• +35°C to +70°C at a water vapor pressure up to 5 kPa
For optimum performance the lift should be operated in following condition
range:
• at a temperature range of +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F)
• at a non-condensing relative humidity range of 15 % to 90 %, but not requiring a
water vapor partial pressure greater than 5 kPa
• 70 kPa to 106 kPa atmospheric pressure
The lift will not have any potential electromagnetic or other interference with
other devices.
