Compact 2 Track Chair Using the Chair
Carrying the Chair downstairs without
using the track
The Chair can be used as a Carry Chair to move occupant
down the stairs when the circumstances do not allow
the use of the track system and a suitable dynamic risk
assessment has been undertaken.
This manoeuvre should be carried out with the Track
detached from the Chair, and all manual handling
procedures and risk assessment should be considered
before carrying out such a manoeuvre.
1. With the patient seated on the Chair and restrained,
adjust the upper handle into a position that is comfortable
for your height (See ‘Adjusting Upper Handle Height).
2. Always inform the patient about what is happening.
3. Once the head-end and foot-end operators are in their
correct positions holding the upper and lower handles,
the head end operator leans the Chair backwards until the
occupants weight is on the wheels.
4. The Chair can then be rolled towards the top of the stairs
and lifted by both operators to begin descending the stairs
5. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, carefully lower
the wheels onto the floor and continue to move the patient
to the required destination by wheeling the Chair.
