Mark II Emergency Wheelchair

The Mark II model of the EVAC+CHAIR Emergency Wheelchair is a new 18-pound transporter for the evacuation of the disabled down fire stairs. EVAC+CHAIR first revolutionized rescue techniques in 1982 by allowing one able-bodied person to transport a seated evacuee down fire stairs with ease and safety. Until its invention, the only practical method was a strenuous two-man hand carry that endangered both evacuee and helpers.

The new EVAC+CHAIR "300-H Mark II" Emergency Wheelchair features a folding wheeled trolley that makes the chair both self-standing and 4-wheeled for hallway travel. A lightweight, easily stored wheelchair to help temporarily disabled, handicapped or elderly persons down from high-rise emergencies, the EVAC+CHAIR allows one person to single-handedly seat and evacuate a helpless person with speed and safety.

"We've been careful to maintain the simplicity and reliability of a proven piece of equipment," says David Egen, inventor of the first EVAC+CHAIR. "This fourth revision with a carefully designed 'self-stand and roll' feature that answers the specific request of our customers."

Today, EVAC+CHAIR is standard safety equipment in office buildings, schools, hospitals, nursing home, hotels and government facilities throughout North America and Europe.

EVAC+CHAIR has a capacity of 300 pounds, is completely self-contained in its operation, requires no installation, stores compactly on-site and works on all fire stairs.
