About the Chair
3.1 Chair Description
The Model 59-T and Model 59 EZ Glide™ Evacuation
Chairs (referred to as the "chair" in this manual) are
emergency patient-handling devices designed to
transport a seated patient up and down stairs and over
flat surfaces.
The chair is for professional use by a minimum of two
trained operators. A third person to "spot" may be
required by local protocols, and additional help may
be required when working with heavy patients.
The Model 59-T is designed with belted tracks that
enable operators to "glide" the chair down stairs instead
of carrying it. The Model 59 is untracked and is carried
down stairs.
Chair features include:
• Belted track system for "gliding" chair down stairs
(Model 59-T only)
• Choice of molded ABS seat and back panels or
soft vinyl seating
• 5-position extending lift bar at rear of chair
• 5-position telescoping front lift handles
• 6" rear locking wheels
• 4" front swivel wheels
