A Legacy Rooted in Innovation
Evac+Chair was born from a simple yet powerful idea: no one should be left behind in an emergency. Established in 1982, the company introduced the world’s first stairway evacuation chair, pioneering a safer alternative to manually carrying individuals down the stairs during an evacuation.
Global Reach, Local Expertise
Today, Evac+Chair operates with a worldwide footprint, and its solutions are used in various environments, such as airports, government buildings, corporate offices, schools, stadiums, and healthcare facilities, all of which require rapid, safe evacuation for everyone.
Evac+Chair also collaborates closely with an expanding network of distributors, safety professionals, and facility managers to provide education and training alongside their equipment. This ensures that their customers are not just buying a product but implementing a complete, end-to-end evacuation solution.
As Class 1 Medical Devices, Evac+Chairs are subject to the UK’s Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). As such, they require regular maintenance to ensure continued safety and reliability. Evac+Chair offers annual maintenance contracts to keep each device fully operational throughout its lifespan, ensuring it remains ready for use in critical moments.
Meeting the Needs of Every Environment
Evac+Chair offers a comprehensive range of evacuation chairs, each designed to accommodate various personnel needs and building layouts, ensuring safe and efficient evacuations.
Evac+Chair is renowned for its unwavering commitment to quality. Proudly manufactured in the UK, each product meets the highest standards, including ISO 9001 for Quality Management and ISO 13485 for Medical Device Management. Utilising world-class technologies and precision processes, Evac+Chair products are crafted from high-grade, locally sourced materials – reflecting the company’s dedication to durability, reliability, and long-term customer satisfaction.
Trusted When It Matters Most
Evac+Chair products have been put to the ultimate test in real-life emergencies. Perhaps the most notable example was during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when individuals with mobility challenges were successfully evacuated from the World Trade Center using an Evac+Chair. This tragic day underscored the vital importance of including mobility-impaired individuals in emergency planning.
Since then, Evac+Chair has steadily expanded and enhanced its product portfolio, reinforcing a legacy built on decades of proven performance, uncompromising safety, and enduring customer trust.
