Ferno TracLite Stair Chair with 175 mm Wheels
Ferno TracLite Stair Chair with 175 mm Wheels
The Australian made and designed successor to Ferno's DHS 531D chair, in the 175 mm wheel configuration. It is built for crews who move patients through stairwells and tight corridors, and it converts to a track chair when the descender track is fitted.
Ferno states the TracLite uses larger diameter tubes and full length double internal leg supports for increased strength, and that improved production methods have eliminated welding, giving a streamlined frame that is easier to clean and maintain. Despite the heavier build it weighs 17 kg without restraints, half a kilo less than its predecessor. Working load limit is 160 kg. Torso and lap restraints with quick connect buckles are included, and the chair is compatible with Ferno 531D tracks (FWE531D), which attach and detach quickly. Extendable backrest handles and foot handles give greater control on stairs.
Where a full length carry is needed instead of a seated one, see the Saver Evacuation Chair and the S-CAPEPLUS Premium evacuation mat. Transfer gear sits with the EZ Slide. Browse the Ferno collection.
