EVAC+CHAIR 600H MK5 Evacuation Chair - Ascent and descent

The Evac+Chair 600H Emergency Evacuation Chair is ideal for use in locations with difficult access, such as staircases with small half landings, or where it is necessary to ascend (rather than descend) stairs e.g. from a basement. Featuring front and rear foldable grab handles, the 600H can be used with up to 4 operators in the event of an emergency, allowing for the ability to ascend stairs or traverse obstacles. For descending stairs, the specially designed friction belts provide a smooth non-slip descent via a self-braking system which prevents the chair from accelerating too quickly. The redesigned sling style seat provides greater passenger comfort, and also ensures the passenger cannot be tipped forward when the safety belt is secured.
