An able-bodied person can descend
stairs at normal walking pace at a rate
of 0.75 metres per second.
An evacuation chair should be able to match this with a competent operator.
The Evac+Chair can comfortably
achieve two flights of stairs in 15
seconds, or four floors in a minute,
without blocking the stairs for other
users. |
