The chair has brakes which when applied, prevent the chair from moving. This is particularly helpful when a person is transferring onto the chair, especially from a wheelchair.
Designed for emergency situations such as a fire or a lift not operating in multi-storey buildings.
Can be operated by 1-4 people. The passenger is strapped into the chair. Telescopic handles at the front of the chair allow for others to help.
The rubber tracks on the chair are speed limited which makes for a controlled descent
The Emergency Evacuation Chair with Brakes can be used to carry a person upstairs. However, this will require 3-4 strong people to carry the chair without touching the stairs- ie the tracks will not go upwards.
Generally speaking, if you need to move a person upstairs, you should consider the motorised Kris II.
Instructions for use are shown on the back of the chair.
