Evacuation Chairs
Evacuation Chairs are portable devices built to move casualties or people with mobility limitations down stairs and staircases during emergency evacuations. They differ from stretchers by the casualty's seated position and the ability to cross stairs, and from wheeled stretchers by their design for navigating level differences. Essential in multi-story buildings within emergency evacuation plans.

About this category
Evacuation chairs address a practical challenge in multi-story buildings: moving people who cannot descend stairs independently. The design: a lightweight aluminum or steel frame, a foldable chair for storage, seating-restraint straps, controlled-descent brakes or track systems for stairs, and rear carry handles for the operator. Types by design: chairs with track-slide stair mechanisms, chairs with tracked belts for stairs, simple portable chairs for short staircases, and chairs with ground wheels for flat surfaces after descent. Uses: multi-story office buildings, hospitals, hotels, educational facilities, multi-level manufacturing sites, and industrial facilities with vertical access. Operating notes: training in safe mechanism use, chair storage at an accessible location on each floor, and periodic inspection of brakes and straps. A substantive difference from stretchers: chairs suit stair descent and rapid evacuation scenarios, while stretchers suit extended horizontal transport. Model specifications, load capacity, descent-control mechanism, and training requirements are reviewed in the product documentation before fit-out.
