How Can the Evaucafe Transit Wheelchair Be Used?
A minimum of two operators is required to operate the Evacuation Transit Chair Mk 2, though this will vary depending on how heavy the person being evacuated is. The chair features built-in lifting handles for ease of use, and will facilitate the traversal of each stair with the rotating tri-wheel mechanism. One operator can safely push the chair and passenger across flat ground, as it functions as a fully manoeuvrable transit wheelchair.
What Is the Maximum Load Capacity?
With a maximum load capacity of 130kg, the Tri-Wheel Transit Chair is suitable for a wide range of users. The chair itself is lightweight but sturdy, meaning it won't add a great deal to the overall load weight for the operating individuals.
How Can an Evacuation Chair Help Me?
If you're in charge of ensuring there is an evacuation plan in place for emergencies, the Tri-Wheel Evacuation Chair is an ideal and versatile solution. The chair helps ensure that individuals with restricted mobility are able to leave the building safely. This makes it suitable for pregnant users, disabled users or those who have sustained an injury and cannot evacuate the building quickly.
Not only can this evacuation chair bring your evacuation plan up to the gold standard, it can also improve the comfort and dignity of the passenger during use as well. The Tri-Wheel Evacuation Transit Chair features a flat seat, arm and footrest to help relax the passenger, which is integral in any emergency situation. This also helps ensure the passenger's feet don't drag on the floor during use, which could reduce the efficacy of the chair.
What Makes the Tri-Wheel Design Different From Other Transit Chairs?
While most transit chairs have four wheels as standard, the rear wheels of the Tri-Wheel Evacuation Chair Mk 2 feature three wheels on each side, which rotate as you move up or down each stair. This helps to reduce manual handling, and offers a smoother ascent or descent while navigating stairs. This particular model also features integrated armrests for improved user comfort.
Although some transit chairs are predominantly designed for navigating stairs, the Tri-Wheel Transit Chair also acts like a wheelchair, so manoeuvring on level ground is also as easy as possible. The chair includes a safety belt to help secure the client during use.
Can the Tri-Wheel Chair Be Stored Easily?
The handle and seat of the Tri-Wheel Transit Chair can be folded down to minimise the size of the chair in storage. This helps prevent the chair from getting in the way during day-to-day activities and ensures it can be stored close to hand, always within easy reach. A wall mounting kit is included, making this chair easy to access while out of the way to prevent trips and falls.
