Garaventa Evacu-Trac CD7 - Evacuation Chair

The Garaventa Evacu-Trac CD7 provides safe, reliable and fast emergency evacuation. The Evacu-Trac should be kept in any multi-story building where persons with disabilities live, work, or visit.

Do Not Use Elevators During Emergencies! - In the event of a fire, bomb threat or other emergency, elevators should not be used for emergency evacuation of a building. In this situation, people with disabilities may be trapped or have to wait for a long time in an area of refuge. The Evacu-Trac has been engineered and rigorously tested to meet the most rigorous demands of an emergency evacuation chair.

Easy to Set Up and Load Passenger into the Evacuation Chair: - The Garaventa Evacu-Trac is lightweight, compact and sets up in seconds. The open sides of the Evacu-Trac are designed for ease of transfer from a wheelchair. This can often be done without assistance. Once the passenger is positioned in the Evacu-Trac, Velcro straps are wrapped securely around the passenger's torso and lower legs. The passenger is then wheeled to the stairway for descent.

Failsafe Brake and Speed Governor Control the Descent: - The Evacu-Trac is completely stable and self-supporting on flat surfaces and on the stairs. Its patented speed governor and braking system allow a small attendant to easily evacuate a larger person securely and maintain full control of the speed of descent. The durable rubber tracks firmly grip the stairs and the safety brake can stop the unit on the stairs if necessary. The Evacu-Trac is equipped with a sling seat, three safety straps and a deep foot pocket for passenger safety and comfort.

Legal Obligation to Provide Means of Emergency Evacuation: - Recent court rulings, citing the intent of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), suggest that building owners and employers have a legal obligation to provide people with disabilities with a fast, safe and dignified means of emergency evacuation. In most emergency situations including fire, gas leaks and terrorist threats it is preferable to evacuate everyone from the building than have people with disabilities wait in a designated area of refuge.

Garaventa CD7 Chair

The emergency evacuation chair shall be a Garaventa Evacu-Trac CD7.

1.2 Descent Speed Control Mechanism- The emergency evacuation chair shall be equipped with a hydraulic speed governor that controls the descent speed to a range that is safe for the passenger and the operator. Descent speed may vary slightly based on passenger weight and stair angle. As a standard measurement, on a stair slope of 35 degrees and with a passenger of 220 lbs. (100kg), the speed control mechanism shall limit the descent speed to a maximum of 3.6 ft/sec. This descent speed control mechanism shall limit the maximum speed regardless of the operating environment or strength and size of the operator.

1.3 Rubber Track Design - The emergency evacuation chair shall have rubber crawler tracks to grip the stair noses. The tracks shall have lugs or teeth to ensure positive traction with the stair noses. The rubber crawler tracks shall have integrated steel wires that minimize the likelihood of stretching or breakage.

1.4 Carrying Capacity and Stair Angle - The emergency evacuation chair shall be able to carry passengers weighing up to 300 lbs (136kg) and capable of stopping on the stairway at full weight capacity. The device should be capable of operating on a stair slope of up to 40 degrees.

1.5 Passenger Size Accommodation - The emergency evacuation chair shall be designed to not unduly limit the physical dimensions of passengers that can be carried. The seating sling shall be open on the sides and shall not be designed with bars that surround or restrict the seating area.
1.6 Passenger Restraining Straps - The emergency evacuation chair shall be equipped with three (3) safety straps to ensure the passenger will be securely restrained in the chair. The safety straps shall secure the passengers legs, mid-section, and chest and arms.

1.7 Parking Brake and Stability on Flat Surfaces - When occupied by a passenger, the evacuation chair must be able to remain stable and stationary when left unattended on flat surfaces. The evacuation chair shall include a brake system that will prevent it from rolling when unattended in the parked position.

1.8 Emergency Brake and Stability on Stairs - The emergency evacuation chair shall be equipped with a secondary, fail-safe, emergency braking system, in addition to the main speed control system. While a passenger occupies it, the chair must be able to come to a complete stop on the stairway without any special effort being exerted by the operator. The brake must operator in a failsafe manner, activating if the operator was to accidentally let go of the handle. It shall be capable of remaining in the stopped position unattended (if required). The evacuation chair shall be able to go from a speed of 3.6-ft per/sec (1.1 m/sec) to a complete stop within 1 second, without assistance from the operator.

1.9 Ease of Transfer - The emergency evacuation chair must be designed so that in the majority of instances, one person trained in proper transferring procedures can single-handedly transfer the passenger into it from a wheelchair. The evacuation chair's seating position shall not be higher than 12 inches from the floor to the lowest point of the seat sling. The evacuation chair shall be designed with open-sides (without sidebars) to make the transfer of the passenger easy.

1.10 Usability and Operator Size / Strength Requirements - The emergency evacuation chair shall be operable, down stairs and across landings with a passenger in place, by one person who has a smaller physical size than the passenger. Size and strength of the operator shall not be a factor in safe operation of the chair.

1.11 Weight of Evacuation Chair - The weight of the chair shall not exceed 46 lbs (20.7 kgs).

1.12 Seating Material - The seating material shall be composed of fire retardant fabric.

1.13 Storage Cabinet (Optional) - Each evacuation chair shall be supplied with a steel cabinet that will be used to store the evacuation chair when not in use. The storage cabinet shall include labeling identifying the contents. The storage cabinet shall be 45.3 inches (1151 mm) high, 20 inches (508 mm) wide, and 11 inches (279 mm) deep.

1.14 Warranty - Product shall be warranted against defects in design and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of delivery and installation in the facility.
