Safe evacuation for all sizes

The new Evac+Chair 500 permits the safe exit of mobility-impaired passengers up to 500 lbs from a building in the event of emergency. In England, 61 per cent of adults are considered obese or overweight, an issue that employers need to be aware of when implementing evacuation plans.

New design features include the smooth transportation of passengers on steep inclines of up to 45 ̊to reduce the strain on operators when manoeuvring heavier individuals from a building. The lightweight frame has generated additional weight savings to accommodate supplementary features such as a foot rest and foldaway handles for extra support.
