Evac+Chair launches their first powered evacuation chair
Evac+Chair has launched a new 24V, Lithium-Ion battery operated, motorised evacuation chair, to further complement its wide range of products. The 900H Power is designed for one-person operation, its Powered Belt Track System reduces manual handling and facilitates a smooth, safe and quick method of upward or downward evacuation. One full battery charge provides enough power to last for 150 flights of stairs, giving complete peace of mind that the mobility impaired can be evacuated upwards or downwards in an emergency.
The 900H Power has an easy-to-use control pad enabling the user to control the speed and direction (whether that be upward or downward) of the evacuation chair. The head support, arm and foot rest provide support and comfort to the passenger. With a payload capacity of 160kg (25 stone) the 900H Power can evacuate bariatric passengers with ease and the ascending control handles, enable a second person to assist.
Evac+Chair is the recognised global leader in stairway evacuation and dedicated to providing people with disabilities or mobility impairments with a quick and safe means of evacuation.
