The Evac+Chair 500H is a heavy-duty evacuation chair for bariatric passengers and for buildings that need a higher safe working load. It has a reinforced frame and a payload capacity of 227kg, and it gives a smooth, controlled descent down stairs. A fold-down lower control handle lets a second trained operator help steady the chair when needed.
