EVAC+CHAIR IBEX TranSeat 700H Evacuation Chair

The IBEX Transeat has the ability to both descend and ascend stairways with ease during an emergency escape situation. Many commercial and residential applications have stairs which lead to the escape access of a building (i.e. from basement level). The IBEX Transeat is the perfect solution for the evacuation of mobility impaired persons. Specially designed "tracks" allow the chair to ascend stairs without the need for the operators to lift. By coordinating movements, operators guide the TranSeat over stair nosing.

• Strong, durable stainless steel frame construction
