Many buildings will have provisions and a plan for emergency situations in place. However, in the event of an emergency you may also need to evacuate mobility impaired visitors or staff. Not having a safe evacuation procedure could be potentially dangerous for you, your staff and your company.

Evac+Chair is the world’s leading manufacturer and supplier of universal evacuation solutions for smooth stairway descent during an emergency. This single user operation ensures that no heavy lifting or manual handling is required during emergency evacuation procedures.

The most popular Evac+Chair is the 300H MK4 model which features an 182kg payload capacity. With an attractive blue textured finish with contrasting yellow hammock, it is used as Evac+Chair’s standard model as it can be used as a one-person operation, meaning it is easy to use and light weight at only 9.5kg. It is also available in AMB format, which has larger rear wheels for prolonged or external rough terrain use.

The chair is designed to provide security to a user when being moved. It is fitted with a forehead restraint, safety buckles, and a hammock style seat that ensures the user is sat back in the chair and cannot be tipped forward. The Evac+Chair’s wheels are supported by specially designed friction belts that ensure the Evac+Chair does not slip or accelerate too rapidly while descending a flight of stairs.

The distribution of the chair’s weight and load also ensure that the descent is smooth and comfortable for both the user and the operator.
