Ambulance Transit Chairs Transit / Ambulance Chairs are primarily used to transport persons across level surfaces to a place of safety. A modern version of Patient Transport Chairs used by Hospitals and Ambulance services; they can be used to lift and carry patients up as well as down the stairs. Basement areas can be tricky environments to evacuation from particularly if there is no lift that can be used safely in an emergency or there are staircases that require you to go up to reach an exit point. In these situations a Transit Chair may be more suited to aid the evacuation. Used by Emergency Services around the world and by organisations who want to comply with current legislation, the chairs have a lift capacity of up to 120kg. It can be used by 2, 3 or 4 people dependant on the person who is being evacuated (you do need to consider that it will require some physical effort to perform this). Because of the lifting and Manual Handling involved, it is recommended that full Risk Assessment and Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) should be considered. We offer two models of transit chair; the 3 Wheel (Tri-wheel) and 4 Wheel Transit Chair.
