EH Systems & Evacusafe In New Distributor Search at Rehacare Exhibition, Dusseldorf

Oct. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Major Distribution Opportunity At World-Leading Assistive Technology event.
Dusseldorf, Germany, 14th - 17th October, 2009

UK-based companies Environmental Handling Systems and Evacusafe UK, manufacturers of an innovative evacuation chair for mobility-impaired people are looking for new distributors at this year’s Rehacare exhibition, in Dusseldorf, Germany on 14th - 17th October, 2009.

At the event, which is the premier international exhibition for assistive technologies, Evacusafe will be showcasing their Evacusafe chair - the latest in emergency escape chairs along with their new Ambulance / Transit Chair.

The Evacusafe chair has been specially designed to help those people either confined to wheelchairs, have sustained injuries, are pregnant or who with other mobility problems to get out of buildings quickly and easily. It offers a simple, reliable and practical solution by being lightweight and running on a friction-controlled track.

Evacusafe can be manoeuvred down stairs easily and smoothly in an emergency, and can be controlled by one or two people. There is no heavy lifting involved and once the chair has been used it can be moved quickly to a place of safety away from the emergency.

Easy to use and set up, each Evacusafe chair comes with arm rests, a seat belt, a cushioned head rest and brakes for ultimate safety and comfort. It also has sturdy hooks, a highly visible overhead sign and a protective cover.

Everyone who buys an Evacusafe chair is given a comprehensive training manual and CD to show them how to set up and operate the chair. Full training packages can also be supplied including ‘train the trainer’, which allows companies to cascade the training down to their employees.

The Evacusafe chair is currently sold in the UK direct by Evacusafe who would like to use the Rehacare show as a platform to source international distributors. Following last years show the company has now put distributors in place in the Netherlands, Israel, Dubai and New Zealand.

Paul Mitchell, Director of Evacusafe, said: “We are seeking distributors for Europe in particular France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland who can not only distribute the chair but also supply the training packages in different languages. We're also keen to use the event to meet with international companies. It may be that a certain distributor has interests in more than one country or is capable of servicing multiple territories. We are also looking to discuss partnerships in the USA, Canada and South America."

The Evacusafe chair meets all current UK / EEC Fire Safety Regulations and Disability Discrimination legislation. It also helps organisations to meet their duty of care in risk assessments and emergency evacuation procedures.

Evacusafe sell their Evacuation chair to a large number of organisations across the UK including hotels, hospitals, government buildings, banks, office blocks, schools, colleges, universities, fire equipment companies, ambulance and emergency services and health and safety organisations.
