The stairway is well lit and the edges of the steps are covered with a strip of contrasting color and texture which helps people with vision impairment identify the step edges.

This photo depicts a care giver taking a client down the stairs from the second floor using the Evacu-Trac chair from Garaventa Lifts (www.garaventa.ca/et/). In the event of a fire or earthquake, elevators should not be used for the emergency evacuation of a building. In this situation, people with limited mobility may be trapped or have to wait for a prolonged period of time in an area of refuge.

The Evacu-Trac is designed so that a small attendant can easily move a much larger passenger down the stairs. The Evacu-Trac is easily set up and ready for a passenger to transfer from their wheelchair to the comfortable sling seat.

The Evacu-Trac can be purchased directly from the Garaventa factory. We have a dedicated Evacu-Trac sales specialist who can be reached Toll Free at 1-866-824-8314 or email to: productinfo@evacu-trac.com
