HyperLite Ultralight Evacuation Stair Chair – 17.6 lb

The HyperLite Evacuation Stair Chair is an ultralight emergency stair chair designed for EMS and ambulance crews, fire teams, schools, offices, clinics and care facilities. Weighing just 17.6 lbs and supporting occupants up to 350 lbs, the HyperLite provides a compact, fully mechanical solution for moving individuals during stairwell evacuations.

Ultralight Evacuation Chair for Emergency Stair Transport

The HyperLite rolls on four wheels across flat surfaces, allowing trained responders to move an occupant through hallways and across landings. On stairs, the chair is designed for a two-person manual lift and carry, with one trained operator positioned at the front and another at the back.

Unlike tracked evacuation chairs, the HyperLite has no tracks. This allows it to be used on straight, curved and rounded staircases without relying on the stair edges for descent.

Works on Straight, Curved and Rounded Stairs

Because the HyperLite is carried down stairs rather than descending on tracks, it can accommodate staircase layouts that may not be suitable for tracked evacuation chairs. Its compact 20.1-inch width and 36" × 36" minimum landing requirement make it suitable for many narrow stairwells and tight landing areas.

• 17.6 lb Ultralight Frame: The high-strength aluminum alloy frame is lightweight for easier handling, deployment and storage.
• 350 lb Weight Capacity: Supports occupants weighing up to 350 lbs.
• Curved and Rounded Stair Compatibility: Designed for straight, curved and rounded staircases because the chair is manually carried on stairs.
• Rolls on Flat Ground: Four wheels allow trained responders to move the occupied chair across hallways, floors and landings.
• Two-Person Stair Operation: Two trained operators are required to lift and carry the occupied chair on stairs.
• Folds to 6.7 Inches Thick: The chair folds to 35.4" × 6.7" × 23.2" for compact storage and transportation.
• Compact 20.1-Inch Width: Its narrow footprint is designed for use in stairwells and buildings with limited space.
• Three-Point Restraint System: Chest, lap and leg straps help secure and position the occupant during transport.
• Locking Device: The frame must be locked before transferring an occupant into the chair.
• No Batteries or Charging: Fully mechanical operation means there are no batteries, motors or charging requirements.
• Emergency-Ready Storage: Folding construction allows the chair to be stored in ambulance and EMS compartments, emergency cabinets, closets and stairwell storage areas.
• Simple Maintenance: Routine care includes keeping the chair clean, checking frequently for loose parts and storing it in a damp-proof, non-corrosive environment.
• U.S.-Based Support: Backed by U.S.-based phone support, replacement parts, a lifetime warranty on the frame and welds, and a 180-day parts warranty.

Folds Compactly for EMS and Facility Storage

The HyperLite folds to just 6.7 inches thick, with folded dimensions of 35.4" × 6.7" × 23.2". This compact profile allows it to be stored in most ambulance and EMS compartments, emergency cabinets, closets or designated stairwell storage areas.

Secure Occupant Restraints

The chair includes chest, lap and leg straps to help keep the occupant positioned during movement. A locking device secures the frame before an occupant transfer takes place. Rider self-operation is not permitted, and two trained operators are required when carrying the occupied chair on stairs.

No Batteries or Powered Components

The HyperLite is fully mechanical and does not use batteries, motors or tracks. This means there is no charging schedule or powered drive system to maintain, allowing the chair to remain ready for use during power outages and elevator shutdowns.

Designed for Emergency Response

The HyperLite is suitable for EMS and ambulance crews, fire teams, schools, medical and dental offices, ambulatory surgery centres, clinics, office buildings, hotels, churches, senior living communities and emergency response vehicles.

Its lightweight construction and compact folded profile also make it practical for facilities that need evacuation equipment staged near stairwells or stored in emergency response vehicles.
