Emergencies in buildings and workplaces can occur at any time.

In the event of a fire, earthquake, explosion or something as simple as a power outage, lifts are immediately out of service and evacuation of injured or mobility-impaired people can be extremely difficult.

When these unpredictable situations occur, it is our duty to be prepared to effectively manage and control the aftermath and protect the safety of our staff, visitors and customers, leaving no one behind.

A simple investment in evacuation stair chairs can make a real difference to the safety and inclusivity of your premises.

When lifts are not available or are too narrow for stretcher trolleys during an emergency, the SKID evacuation stair chair we provide become the safest means of transport for evacuating people with mobility limitations down the stairs. In just a couple of seconds, these stairlifts are unhooked from their wall bracket and are ready for use.

The availability of evacuation chairs in your facility helps you create a safer environment for all occupants by increasing your emergency preparedness, providing equal opportunities for people with reduced mobility and giving you peace of mind, knowing that you have taken all the necessary steps to protect the safety of your employees, visitors and customers.

The evacuation stair chairs we build are installed in proximity to staircases. They can be easily deployed to descend stairs or to transport people with reduced mobility across flat surfaces to the designated assembly point.

These devices are an indispensable piece of equipment for facility and security managers, as they ensure that mobility-impaired (or injured) staff members, visitors or customers can be safely evacuated from multi-storey buildings in the event of an emergency.

Spencer SKIDs are lightweight and robust folding stair chair that help people with reduced mobility evacuate down stairs in a controlled and safe manner.

Fitted with rails for easy movement down stairs, they offer operators greater control and stability in decisive moments:

The 3 main types of evacuation chairs SKID we manufacture are:

• PRO SKID-E, a lightweight and robust stair chair, equipped with a pair of front and rear telescopic handles that make it suitable for both ascending and descending stairs.
• SKID-OK, a compact stair chair with a total weight of only 10 kg. Its lightweight structure makes it particularly manoeuvrable in confined spaces or when stairs are too narrow, yet it can support up to 250 kg. The SKID-OK version is equipped with SKID-OK B equipped with armrests.
• SKID-E offers a high level of manoeuvrability and control at a very affordable price. It works well in spaces reduced thanks to its compact structure. The SKID-E MAX version can transport up to 250 kg.

Installing certified stair chairs like the Spencer SKID in your facility improves the overall safety of your workplace by increasing mobility for employees, visitors, residents and customers with disabilities.

Don’t be surprised by an emergency situation. Keep SKID stair chairs on hand to ensure a smooth and safe evacuation for everyone and create a more inclusive workplace.
