Will I Require Five Chairs?
For most public buildings, a single chair will not provide adequate evacuation of all vulnerable individuals from the premises. Once an evacuation safety assessment as been carried out and the number of evacuation chairs you'll require has been recommended, our bulk saver packs will allow you to safely outfit your environment at a reduced price per chair.
Many buildings will require at least one chair per stairwell, but there are countless other factors that could expand your chair requirement. For more information, read our article entitled How Many Evacuation Chairs Do I Need?

How Do I Use the Evac+Chair MK5 Evacuation Chair?
One person can easily operate this chair to evacuate a single patient (up 182kg in weight) down stairs. Secure the patient using the two straps, and keep a firm hold of the double hand grip at the rear of the chair. Tilt the chair back, and push confidently until the friction track is making contact with the two top stairs. Then, the braking friction track will make contact with each successive stair, slowing the descent of the chair to prevent the need for excessive force to be used by the operator.
Unique Friction Belt for Smooth Descent
The friction belt system separates this chair from other lightweight single-user chairs, as it actually provides a constant braking mechanism that will guide the chair down stairs for a smooth traversal. It will stay in contact contact with the stairs as you move, helping to compensate for those with less strength than others. This allows the user to guide the direction of the chair, rather than having to hold the entire weight at any point.

Two Straps and Foot Grip for Patient Safety
To accommodate patients with severe injuries or lower levels of motor control, the chair features two straps: a safety belt and an integrated head rest strap. This will keep the patient upright in the correct position, while ensuring the weight load maintains in a stable and consistent position for easier manoeuvring. The anti-slip grip also allows the patient to secure themselves during the descent for even more stability and peace of mind.

Redesigned Hammock
The hammock seat has been improved from previous designs, making it more comfortable for the patient, as well as more compact when stored away. The material used in the hammock and headrest are both comfortable and hard-wearing, ensuring they will be ready for effective evacuations when needed.
