• Controlled descent without excessive effort: the action of the high-grip tracks stabilizes sliding on steps, allowing the operator to guide the chair smoothly and safely.
• Increased transport capacity in a lightweight structure: the 10 kg aluminum frame handles loads up to 250 kg, facilitating maneuvers even in stairwells or tight spaces.
• Customizable ergonomic grip: the multiple height adjustments of the extensible handlebar allow rescuers to adapt the push lever to their own height.
• Stationing and sliding on flat surfaces: the combined action of the 15 cm rear wheels and the 10 cm swivel front wheels with brake facilitates linear transfers and chair locking.
• Containment and correct positioning of the patient: the use of safety belts on the adjustable headrest combined with the footrest keeps the user in a stable position, promoting blood circulation.

This stair chair is designed for emergency evacuation procedures in indoor and covered outdoor environments. It finds primary use in hospitals, healthcare facilities, nursing homes, public buildings, schools, offices, shopping centers, and residential complexes during evacuation phases where elevators are not accessible or operational. It is the ideal tool for emergency teams and support personnel who need to evacuate users with reduced mobility along flights of stairs and connecting corridors.

The h687_97 chair represents the correct choice when the company or facility emergency plan requires an evacuation device compliant with the European medical device regulation (MDR). It constitutes the ideal solution in contexts where it is necessary to combine a reduced folded footprint of only 90x17.5x104 cm with a high structural load capacity of up to 250 kg, offering operators the safety of high-grip tracks and the clarity of use guaranteed by the integrated graphic instructions on the headrest.

How does this stair chair with tracks differ from a standard transport chair on wheels?

Unlike traditional transport chairs designed only for movement on flat surfaces, the h687_97 model integrates high-grip tracks that create controlled friction on the edges of the steps. This system allows the chair to slide along the stairs in a fluid and guided manner, preventing the operator from having to lift the patient’s dead weight during the descent.

What safety standards and certifications does this evacuation device meet?

The h687_97 stair chair is developed and manufactured in compliance with the European medical device regulation (MDR), ensuring the safety and suitability requirements necessary for the movement of people with mobility limitations in emergency contexts.

How is the chair stored when not in use for emergencies?

The device features a foldable structure that reduces its footprint to 90 × 17.5 × 104 cm. Thanks to its low weight of 10 kg and the slim thickness of 17.5 cm when closed, the chair can be easily stored inside utility rooms or positioned along evacuation routes.
