EZ LITE Lightweight Evacuation Stair Chair – 350 lb Emergency Chair

The EZ LITE Evacuation Stair Chair is a lightweight emergency evacuation chair designed to help trained operators move individuals down straight staircases when elevators are unavailable. Weighing just 28 lbs and supporting up to 350 lbs, the EZ LITE features anti-slip rubber tracks with tension-controlled braking for a controlled descent without batteries or charging.

Controlled Stair Descent Without Batteries

The EZ LITE uses a fully mechanical descent system. Tension-controlled anti-slip rubber tracks support the rider's weight against the stair edges and help maintain a steady descent rather than allowing the chair to accelerate under load.

Because the chair requires no batteries or external power, it remains ready for use during power outages and elevator shutdowns. A trained operator secures the rider, positions the chair onto its tracks and guides the chair down the staircase at a controlled pace.

Lightweight and Easy to Store

At only 28 lbs, the EZ LITE can be lifted from its wall bracket and carried to the person requiring assistance. The frame folds flat in seconds for compact storage beside a stairwell and is supplied with a wall mount bracket and protective cover.

Secure Rider Restraints

The EZ LITE includes an integrated waist seatbelt and adjustable headrest strap to help keep the rider secure and upright during evacuation. The headrest strap can provide additional support for riders who cannot independently support their head. A removable seat and included footrest also support cleaning and rider positioning.

• 350 lb Weight Capacity: Supports riders weighing up to 350 lbs.
• 28 lb Lightweight Frame: The aluminum frame is lightweight enough for one person to remove from wall storage and carry to the rider.
• Controlled Track Descent: Anti-slip rubber tracks with tension-controlled braking help maintain a steady descent down stairs.
• No Batteries Required: Fully mechanical operation means there are no batteries to charge or power supply requirements.
• Waist Seatbelt and Headrest Strap: Integrated restraints help secure the rider during stair evacuation.
• Folds Flat for Wall Storage: The chair folds compactly and includes a wall mount bracket and protective cover.
• Flat-Ground Transport: With the tracks locked upright, four wheels allow the chair to be moved across corridors and landings like a wheelchair.
• Rear Foot Brakes: Rear wheel locks help keep the chair stationary during transfers and positioning.
• Manual Ascent: When a chair needs to travel up a staircase, two trained operators can manually carry the occupied chair using the front handles.
• Multiple Stair Surfaces: Designed for straight stairs with wood, concrete, tile and securely attached carpet.
• Facility Evacuation Ready: Suitable for schools, offices, apartments, clinics, assisted living facilities and other buildings requiring emergency stair evacuation equipment.
• Simple Maintenance: The chair can be cleaned with warm water and a clean cloth or soft brush, and the tracks should never be lubricated.
• U.S.-Based Support: Includes U.S.-based phone support, replacement parts, an operation and maintenance manual, lifetime frame and weld warranty, and 180-day parts warranty.

Designed for Straight Staircases

The EZ LITE is engineered for straight staircases with consistent step geometry. Its tracks are designed to grip wood, concrete, tile and carpet that is fully attached to the stair treads. The EZ LITE is not intended for spiral or round staircases, and loose or unattached carpet should not be used because it may not provide reliable track grip.

Four-Wheel Mobility on Flat Ground

The EZ LITE is more than a stair descent device. With the tracks locked upright, its four transport wheels allow an operator to move the chair across flat floors, corridors and landings. Rear foot brakes help keep the chair stationary during transfers and positioning.

Emergency Evacuation Storage

The folding frame and included wall mounting system make it practical to store the EZ LITE near the stairwell where it can be accessed when needed. Facilities can position evacuation chairs at designated stairwell locations as part of their emergency preparedness and evacuation procedures.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The EZ LITE is designed for straightforward routine care. Clean the chair with warm water and a clean cloth or soft brush. The chair can be disinfected between riders in medical settings. Do not use bleach or phenolic cleaners, and never lubricate the belts or tracks.
