Why Choose the Evac+Chair IBEX 700H Evacuation Chair?
This chair is specially designed to accommodate unique staircases, such as spiral stairs, that would pose a difficulty for standard evacuation chairs that can't accommodate such tight spaces.

How Do I Use the Evac+Chair MK5 Evacuation Chair?
This chair is designed for use by two operators at a time, for both ascent and descent evacuations. To properly operate, adjust the manual braking system to the correct level of torque to accommodate the passenger. Then, adjust the telescopic rear handle to provide a comfortable gripping angle for the operator at the rear of the chair. Ensure the operator at the front of the chair maintains a solid grip on the front grab handles to control ascent and descent, while the operator at the rear maintains a solid grip to guide the direction of the chair.

Unique Friction Track 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 constant 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.

Suitable for Both Ascent and Descent
The Evac+Chair IBEX TranSeat is designed to both ascend and descend the stairs without anyone having to take the weight of the user. The design also makes it suitable for tight and restricted spaces, including spiral staircases.
Foldable for Compact Storage
The chair can be folded away to make it easy and compact for storage in high-traffic areas. It is quick and easy to open, meaning there is no wasted time in the event of an emergency
