In order to evacuate the mobility impaired, the Evac+Chair enables a single user to evacuate a colleague of up to 150kg.
Manufactured in the UK, the operation of the product is achieved using continuous belts to provide controlled descent over stair nosings in proportion to passenger weight.
The placing of the Evac+Chair throughout the building assists organisations in meeting duty of care in risk assessments.
A rental package for emergency evacuation chairs for the mobility impaired has been launched by Evac+Chair in order to assist companies in meeting the Disability Discrimination Act and the Regulatory Reform Order.
Bespoke packages can be ordered for organisations. It also reduces tax liability because maximum corporation tax allowance is awarded for rental.
The Evac+Chair enables employers to provide a means of escape for all. It allows one person to transport a mobility-impaired individual on the flat or down stairs quickly and safely without the need for lifting or great physical strength.
Operation of the chair is due to the interface of V-belts which work continuously to slow down descent over stair nosings in proportion to the weight of the passenger.
