Designed for challenging access areas, the Evac+Chair 600H is perfect for navigating staircases with narrow half-landings or situations where ascending stairs is required—such as evacuating from a basement. With foldable grab handles at the front and rear, this versatile chair can be operated by up to four individuals, enabling safe stair ascension or maneuvering over obstacles during an emergency.
For descending stairs, the innovative friction belt system ensures a controlled, smooth descent. This self-braking mechanism prevents excessive speed, offering a secure, non-slip evacuation process. The redesigned sling-style seat enhances passenger comfort while preventing forward tipping when the safety belt is fastened.
