Evacuation Chairs You Can Trust

An evacuation chair moves people who can't take the stairs to safety when emergencies strike. The chairs here at Stretchers 'R Us make it quick and easy to transport patients, and put less strain on the person doing the lifting. If your building has more than one floor and an occupant who might need help evacuating, you already have a reason to own at least one.

We stock evacuation chairs built for real emergencies, not the flimsy stuff that looks fine in a catalog but fails when it matters.

What an Evacuation Chair Actually Does

Evacuation chairs provide controlled movement down a staircase. A good evacuation chair uses a track or belt system that grips the stair edges, so gravity does most of the work while the operator steers and controls the pace. One person can usually manage a descent alone. The right chair takes the guesswork and most of the muscle out of the equation.

Note that weight capacity, folding size, and how the chair stores against a wall all matter more than people expect. You want something that mounts near the stairwell and stays out of the way until the day you need it.

Types of Evacuation Chairs and What Sets Them Apart

Not every model works the same way, and the differences show up fast in the field. We offer evacuation chairs from both Stryker and Ferno, each with its own advantages.

Track-based chairs run along stair nosing and keep the descent smooth and slow. These handle heavier loads and steep flights well, which is why hospitals and high-rises lean toward them. Then there are lighter foldable transport models built for quick storage and single-person operation. They're great for offices, schools, and smaller clinics where the priority is having a chair on every floor without eating up space.
