Help Evaccess To Support You By Thinking Ahead Now

Evaccess are asking you to think ahead to any future or existing access or evacuation issues allowing them to support you when the UK begins to recover from lockdown restrictions.


Evaccess are exactly what the name suggests. Equipment for evacuation and access for PRM. They offer more basic kit, as well as bespoke equipment for more specific needs. A lot of buildings rely on lifts for access, but in an emergency, lifts often stop working. What then? Basic evacuation chairs may provide a way for PRM to exit a building, but if people are reliant on wheelchairs, how can they continue with independent travel? Additionally, it’s never a dignified solution to physically remove someone from their wheelchair, essentially taking away their sense of independence when an emergency is threatening enough.

It is also worth mentioning the commonality of lift-breakdown. What option is then available to transport an electric powered wheelchair user down flights of stairs. Their answer is the TRE-70.

Evaccess have a selection of kit all designed to suit standard and more specific requirements. Not every staircase is one floor, straight and wide. The C-Max from Evaccess offers a reliable means of ascent and descent in a range of scenarios. Outdoor terrain − no problem, spiral and flared staircases − easy, narrow staircases and aisles − absolutely. The TRE-70 as aforementioned can carry individuals in electric powered wheelchairs both up and down staircases. This can surprisingly be done by support of just one person − even if the assisting individual weighs far less than the combined weight that they are manoeuvring. Their Italian Antano Group Manufactured products the LG EVA-Chair and LG Evacu Plus El are perfect for safe and convenient movement of people in hospitals, airports, ambulances and on buses.

The beauty of all Evaccess kit is that it is battery powered, so it will continue to successfully function in an emergency.

Evaccess are all about supporting persons of reduced mobility in a country where we should be way past discrimination by not providing suitable access and a dignified means of evacuation. The world is at a standstill, but this won’t be the case forever. Therefore, we remain open − working from home − to support businesses and individuals in the future. Evaccess are still able to provide advice over the phone on: 0121 444 3069 by e- mail on: info@evaccess.uk and offer information via their website at: www.evaccess.uk.

They are also still offering dates in the diary for booking paramount training and servicing in advance. Naturally, the current uncertainty will mean that these dates will be subject to change (at no additional cost), but it means that individuals who book in now can be at the forefront of their priorities to re-schedule.

Evaccess are a small business with an interest in providing solutions for existing and/or potential evacuation and access needs. So, help them to help you by thinking ahead now.
