Cost-effective evacuation

Making provision for the evacuation of the mobility impaired in the event of an emergency does not have to be a huge budget burden. The Evac+Chair is a solution that accommodates budget constraints without compromising on safety, enabling Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements to be met.

The product enables a single user to evacuate a person with mobility difficulties, using continuous rotating V belts to provide a controlled descent down the stairway and out of the building in a fast, safe and efficient manner. As it is a solution that does not require the fabric of the building to be altered in any way or cause any disruption to operational activities, it is a substantially more cost-effective option than other alternatives such as fireproof lifts, ramps or escape chutes. Evac+Chair International also carries out free product demonstrations and professional site surveys to establish what evacuation provisions need to be made for premises to fully comply with DDA requirements. This nationwide service is also supported by a full service after sales division.
