The Safe Evacuation Chair provides a practical and cost-effective solution for assisting people with reduced mobility during an emergency evacuation.

Designed for controlled movement down stairways when lifts cannot be used, the chair features reinforced tracks that engage with the stair edges to support a smooth and manageable descent. Its lightweight aluminium construction, folding frame and integrated wheels make it easy to store, deploy and manoeuvre across level floors.

An adjustable head support and quick-release restraint straps help keep the occupant comfortably and securely positioned. When not in use, the chair folds into a compact profile suitable for storage near designated evacuation routes, stairwells and emergency exits.

Occupant Support and Restraints

The chair incorporates an adjustable headrest together with quick-release head, chest and thigh restraints. These features help limit unwanted movement and maintain a secure seated position during evacuation.

The generous 51 × 43cm seating area provides occupant support without making the chair unnecessarily bulky when folded.

Controlled Stair Descent

The reinforced tracked mechanism is designed to engage with stair edges and help regulate the chair’s movement during descent. This reduces the need to carry the occupant manually and supports safer handling by trained operators.

Integrated wheels allow the chair to be manoeuvred along corridors and across level floors before and after stairway use.

Compact Emergency Storage

The evacuation chair folds to approximately 22cm deep, allowing it to be stored close to stairwells, emergency exits and designated evacuation points without occupying excessive space.

For effective emergency preparedness, the chair should be positioned in an accessible location identified within the premises’ evacuation plan.

Important Safety Information

This product must only be used by personnel who have received suitable instruction and practical training. A site-specific risk assessment should determine the number of operators required, the appropriate evacuation route and whether the chair is suitable for the intended occupant.

Always secure the occupant using all appropriate restraints and inspect the chair, tracks, wheels, frame and locking mechanisms before use. Never exceed the stated maximum load capacity.

The chair is not intended to replace professional emergency planning, operator training or an individual evacuation risk assessment.
