Garaventa Powertrac Evacuation Chair in India | Authorised Dealer – Vingrace
Battery-powered stair-climbing evacuation chair — one attendant moves a passenger of up to 136 kg down to the exit and up from basement levels, without lifting and without mains power.
Institutional pricing, GST invoicing & rate contracts available. Free stairwell survey pan-India. Final price confirmed after site survey.
Why Choose The Powertrac?
Most evacuation chairs only go down. The Powertrac is motorised, so it also brings people up — which is what basements, metro concourses and split-level buildings actually need.
Motorised Ascent And Descent
The motor drives the chair up as well as down and controls speed in both directions at the push of a button. Below-ground floors stop being a dead end in your fire plan.
Electromagnetic Brake
Release the control and the brake stops and holds the loaded chair on the stairs, so the attendant can pause mid-flight without taking the passenger's weight.
Small Attendant, Heavier Passenger
The motor carries the load, so a lighter staff member can safely move a passenger of up to 136 kg. Your warden roster no longer depends on who is physically strongest.
Steel-Reinforced Rubber Tracks
Continuous tracks grip concrete, stone, tile, metal and carpeted stairs, spreading the load across several steps instead of bumping down one at a time.
Auxiliary Wheels For Landings
On flat ground the chair rolls on wheels, so crossing a landing or a long corridor between flights takes seconds rather than minutes.
Folds Down For Storage
Stores folded in a stairwell cabinet or a car boot, and moves between buildings — useful when one unit has to cover a campus rather than a single tower.

Customer Reviews
Feedback from safety and facilities teams across India.
"Our two basement parking levels were the gap in our fire plan. The Powertrac climbs up from B2 without anyone lifting, and our drill time dropped noticeably."
"We trained twelve wardens in a single afternoon. The controls are simple enough that refresher drills actually get done instead of being postponed."
"The brake holding on a half-landing is what convinced our auditors. Vingrace handled the survey, delivery and cabinet mounting without any follow-up from us."
"We compared three brands. The powered ascent was the deciding factor — our auditorium sits below street level and nothing else could bring people up."
"Folded, it fits the stairwell cabinet with room to spare. Staff walk past it every day and it is clearly signed, which was part of our audit requirement."
"Battery check is now part of our monthly fire-equipment round. In two years we have had no service issues beyond the scheduled AMC visit."
