Drive Levantar Floor Patient Lift With Manual Base

The Drive Levantar FLNP500 is Drive Medical's 500 lb floor lift with a manual base. Westin Healthcare sells it, delivers it, and sets it up for homes and care settings in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. The boom is electric. The legs are opened and closed by hand.

Drive prints a 500 lb / 227 kg safe working load on this SKU. The standard cradle is a six-point bar with spring clips. One battery and an external charger stand ship with the lift. The battery can be charged on the lift or on the stand.

Who it is for

This lift is for a person who needs a full-body transfer and whose weight is inside Drive's 500 lb Levantar capacity. The manual base is the reason families pick FLNP500 when they want the Levantar cradle and electronics without a powered leg motor. If you want the same 500 lb lift with powered legs, see the Drive Levantar with power base. If you need 600 lb, move to the Drive Gravis with manual base. If 500 lb is more than you need, the Drive 13240 is the 450 lb home-care sibling.

• Home or facility transfers inside 500 lb
• Floor pickups, which Drive lists on this model
• Caregivers who will open the base by hand and want the six-point spring-clip cradle

How it lifts

The Levantar is an electric floor lift. The caregiver opens the manual base, attaches a Drive sling to the six-point cradle, and uses the hand control to raise the boom. Drive's user manual says the lift is for a short-distance transfer after a risk assessment, in sitting, sitting/recumbent, or recumbent. Drive also says a single trained, experienced caregiver may operate it under ISO 10535:2006, and that some people and some situations still need two people. We will not tell you one person is always enough.

Redundant controls keep the lift usable if the hand control fails. An LCD and fuel gauge show battery state. Drive sounds an alert for low battery, overload, and maintenance due, and the boom has a safety stop if someone is in its path.

Drive Levantar FLNP500 specifications

These figures are for Westin SKU FLNP500. The specification tab holds the stored values. Drive's family manual prints a 500 lb / 227 kg safe working load, a 52 inch overall length, a 76.3 inch maximum overall height, a 27.7 inch minimum overall height, 2.9 inches of ground clearance, 3 inch front casters, 5 inch locking rear casters, and a 132.2 lb net weight. Drive's FLNP500 sheet prints a boom height of 26 inches to 76 inches. The carton includes one battery and the external charger stand.

Warranty for the original purchaser, in Drive's Levantar/Gravis manual, is lifetime on the frame (Drive defines lifetime as 15 years), 5 years on electronics, and 1 year on the battery. Casters and other wear parts are 90 days.

Slings and spreader bar

Drive fits a six-point cradle with spring clips as standard. The user manual says this family is designed to be used with, and only with, Drive DeVilbiss branded slings. A four-point cradle is a Drive add-on, not the standard Levantar bar. The sling is sold separately. Start with our full-body slings, universal slings, or toileting slings, and we will confirm the Drive sling that matches this bar.

Funding help for a patient lift in Ontario

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not cover patient lifts or other lifting devices. Funding routes that can help when the eligibility criteria fit: ODSP, March of Dimes Canada, and hardship funding programs. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through before you buy.

Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA

Westin's own team delivers and sets up this lift across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, assemble it, and show you the hand control before we leave.

We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a lift first. For a scheduled in-home setup, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works. Same-day delivery is offered through our patient lift rental service; purchased lifts are delivered and set up on a scheduled date.

Floor patient lifts are oversized. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods does not apply. If the lift is going outside the GTA, ask us for a freight quote. Inside Toronto and the GTA, White-Glove Delivery (bring-in, unwrap, test, take packaging away) is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.

Can I rent a patient lift before I buy?

Yes. If you only need the lift for a recovery, or you want to live with a floor lift before you buy, rent first. See current packages and rates on patient lift rentals in Brampton.

Rental packages include an electric floor lift and a sling. For rentals we offer same-day delivery in Brampton, Etobicoke, Toronto, and Mississauga, and next-day delivery for other areas, with one day of notice. The shortest rental term on the rentals page is one week.

If you later decide to buy, ask us about the Rental to Purchase First Month Credit program (an active Westin loyalty program). The rentals hub and rental program FAQs have the program rules.

Service, repairs, and warranty

When something on the lift needs work, you call the shop that set it up, not a US parts desk. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department. Our technicians come to the home or workplace.

Drive manufacturer warranty

Drive's Levantar/Gravis manual covers the original purchaser with a lifetime frame (15 years as Drive defines it), 5 years on electronics, and 1 year on the battery. Wear parts such as casters are 90 days. We handle the warranty claim with you. Ask us if an extended warranty is offered for your order.

Frequently asked questions

Does ADP cover patient lifts in Ontario?

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program does not cover patient lifts. Other funding routes may still help, depending on the person and the assessment. Call (905) 451-7743 and we will check which path fits before anyone starts paperwork.

What is the safe working load of the Drive Levantar FLNP500?

Drive prints 500 lbs / 227 kg for every Levantar. Stay inside that number for the person plus anything in the sling. The 600 lb sibling is the Gravis, not this SKU.

What sling fits the Levantar?

Drive's manual allows only Drive DeVilbiss slings on this six-point spring-clip cradle. We will match a Drive full-body or toileting sling when we book setup. Do not hang another brand's sling unless Drive names it.

What is the difference between the manual-base and power-base Levantar?

Both are 500 lb electric boom lifts with the same cradle and charger. FLNP500 opens the legs by hand. FLP500 opens the legs with a motor. If opening the base is hard on the caregiver's back, look at the power-base page.

Can one caregiver operate the Levantar?

Drive says a single trained, experienced caregiver may operate it under ISO 10535:2006, and that some people still need two operators. We will walk through that with you. We will not promise that one person is always enough.

Can I rent a patient lift before buying?

Yes. See current packages and rates on the patient lift rentals page. If you later buy, ask about the Rental to Purchase First Month Credit program.

How fast can this lift be delivered in the GTA?

Purchased lifts are delivered and set up on a scheduled date. Call (905) 451-7743 for the next opening. Same-day delivery belongs to the rental service.

What is included with the Drive Levantar FLNP500?

You get the FLNP500 lift with the six-point cradle, hand control, one battery, and the external charger stand. A sling is not included. Westin Healthcare delivers and sets up across Brampton and the GTA.

What is the warranty on the Levantar?

Drive's family manual prints lifetime on the frame (15 years as Drive defines it), 5 years on electronics, and 1 year on the battery. Westin Healthcare processes the claim.

Can the Levantar lift someone from the floor?

Yes. Drive's Levantar sheet lists floor pickup as a feature. The six-point cradle is the shallow bar Drive designed for that range. We will still confirm the sling and the room layout before the first transfer.
