Evacuation Chair for Stairs in India - Safe, Fast Emergency Escapes
An evacuation chair is a lightweight, foldable stair chair that carries a person with limited mobility down the stairs safely when a fire, earthquake, or power cut takes the lift out of action. Vingrace evacuation chairs need no battery, work in seconds, and are trusted by hospitals, schools, offices, hotels, and malls across India.
- Our Range
Types of Evacuation Chairs for Every Building & Budget
From simple manual stair chairs to fully motorised tracked models — each built for a different mix of budget, building size, and speed of evacuation.
Garaventa Powertrac Evacuation Chair
Motorised, tracked evacuation chair that controls descent speed automatically — smooth, steady, and easy on the attendant, even over long staircases.
Garaventa EvacuTrac Evacuation Chair
Track-based, manually guided evacuation chair — no battery needed, always ready to use, and simple enough for one trained attendant to operate.
- How It Works
How Does an Evacuation Chair Work?
A stair evacuation chair grips the stair treads directly — no rail, no power point, no fixed location it has to stay near.
Person is seated and secured
The user sits in the chair and is secured with seat belts, arm supports, and a footrest in seconds.
Chair is tilted back to balance
The attendant tilts the chair back onto its rear wheels or tracks, ready to move down the stairs.
Tracks or wheels grip each step
Rubber tracks or stair-glide wheels move down each step smoothly while the attendant steers and controls speed.
Chair folds flat for storage
After use, most models fold flat and slim, ready to be wall-mounted or stored near the stairwell again.
- Why It Matters
Benefits of a Vingrace Evacuation Chair
One-person operation
No need for extra help — a single trained attendant can safely evacuate a person down the stairs.
No battery or power needed
Manual and track-based models are always ready to use, even during a total power failure.
Smooth on any staircase
Special stair tracks or glide wheels move steadily over straight, curved, or narrow staircases.
Folds up easily
Compact folded size fits into small storage spaces near stairwells or emergency exits.
Secure straps & footrest
Seat belts, arm supports, and a footrest keep the person safely in place during the descent.
Strong, reliable build
Standard models carry up to 150 kg, with heavy-duty options available for higher capacities.
- Buyer's Guide
How to Choose the Right Evacuation Chair
A quick way to narrow down the right model for your building, budget, and evacuation plan.
Manual or motorised?
Manual and track-based chairs are lighter, more affordable, and need no power — great for most buildings. Motorised models suit tall buildings with many floors, where controlled descent speed matters most.
How many staircases?
Larger buildings with multiple stairwells often need more than one evacuation chair, positioned near each exit so help is always close by.
Check before buying
Confirm the rated weight capacity, stair width compatibility, ease of folding for storage, attendant training included, and after-sales service coverage in your city.

For powered models, a healthy battery keeps descent control smooth and reliable.

- Comparison
Evacuation Chair vs Stair Lift vs Stair Climbing Wheelchair
Not sure which mobility solution fits your situation? Here’s a quick comparison.
Evacuation Chair
Best for emergencies — fire, earthquake, or power cut. Kept near stairwells, no power needed, one-person operation for quick escapes.
Stair Lift
Best for daily use on a single fixed staircase at home. Not designed for emergency evacuation or shared building use.
Stair Climbing Wheelchair
Best for everyday portable mobility across buildings. Can double as an emergency aid but is bulkier than a dedicated evacuation chair.
