Safety Chair EV-8000 Electric Power-Climb Evacuation Chair, Pre-Owned, with Battery and New UK Charger
The EV-8000 is a powered evacuation chair for moving a person up or down a stairwell when lifts are unavailable. Powered travel in both directions is what separates it from a conventional evacuation chair: a descent-only chair gets a person out, but cannot bring a firefighter's casualty up, cannot reposition someone to a refuge on a higher floor, and cannot return the chair to its mounting without carrying it. Motorised Power-Climb tracks take the load off the operator, so a single trained person can manage a descent that would otherwise need two or three. Weight capacity is 220 kg, chair weight 33 kg, and it folds to 116 x 57 x 32 cm for wall mounting. Supplied with its battery and a new UK charger.

Before the chair goes on the wall
- Battery. The battery supplied is pre-owned. Capacity in any lithium-ion cell falls with age and cycle count, so the runtime available cannot be stated for this unit. Charge it fully, test the chair on a representative flight, and fit a fresh battery if it does not hold charge. A chair mounted on a wall for months between uses is only as good as its battery on the day.
- Training. Powered evacuation chairs must only be used by operators trained on the specific model. Training is not included and should be arranged before the chair is entered in an evacuation plan.
- Fire strategy. The chair supports a building's evacuation arrangements but does not by itself discharge them. It should be recorded in the fire risk assessment and personal emergency evacuation plans, with named operators and a defined storage point.
- Routine checks. Equipment held for emergency use needs a documented check routine, since a fault is otherwise discovered during an evacuation.
Checked before dispatch
- Cleaned and inspected.
- Powered up and function tested, with track drive and controls confirmed.
- Harness, buckles and webbing checked for fraying, damage and correct latching.
- Frame, handles, tracks and locking rear wheels checked for damage and secure fixing.
- New charger supplied and charging confirmed.
These are in-house workshop checks. Damaged or non-working items are not dispatched. A full engineer service and periodic examination are not included unless this listing states that the unit has been serviced. Ongoing inspection and maintenance remain with the operating organisation once the chair is in service.
Key features
Powered travel up and down stairs, unlike descent-only chairs, which makes it usable for refuge repositioning and for returning the chair to its mounting.
Single operator use with powered assistance, cutting the manual handling risk that makes conventional evacuation chairs difficult to staff.
220 kg weight capacity, covering a bariatric evacuation that most stair chairs cannot take.
33 kg chair weight on a high-strength aluminium frame, light enough to lift onto a wall bracket by one person.
Adjustable self-braking tracks, holding position on the stair rather than relying on the operator's grip to control descent speed.
Quick-release four point harness, securing the passenger in transit and releasing fast at the bottom of the stairwell.
Anti-slip height adjustable handles, so operators of different heights work at a safe posture.
Industrial locking rear wheels, giving stability on flat ground during transfer on and off the chair.
Folds to 116 x 57 x 32 cm for wall mounting, so it stores in a corridor or lobby without obstructing the escape route.
Ready in seconds, since a chair that takes minutes to deploy is of little use in an evacuation.
Flame-retardant materials throughout the passenger contact surfaces.
Way-finding wall sign supplied, marking the storage point so the chair can be located by anyone, not only by staff who know where it lives.

Routine care guidance
| Component | Action | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | Check charge state and top up per the manufacturer instructions | Per manufacturer guidance |
| Harness and webbing | Inspect for fraying, cuts and buckle function | Monthly |
| Tracks and braking | Inspect track condition and confirm the braking function holds | Monthly |
| Frame, handles and wheels | Check for damage, loose fixings and free movement of the folding mechanism | Monthly |
| Function test | Deploy and run the chair on a representative flight of stairs | Per local policy |
| Storage point | Confirm the chair is on its mounting, unobstructed and signed | Weekly |
| Operator competence | Refresh training and confirm named operators remain available on each shift | Per local policy |

The above is general guidance. The manufacturer instructions supplied with the chair and the premises fire safety arrangements take precedence. Any chair showing a fault should be taken out of the evacuation plan until it has been repaired and re-tested.
