Collection: Evacuation Sleds

Evacuation sleds, also known as emergency rescue sleds or patient evacuation sleds, are specialized emergency transport devices designed to move individuals with limited mobility when a building must be evacuated. Unlike evacuation chairs, which transport users in a seated position, evacuation sleds allow individuals to remain lying down while being moved across floors and down stairways by trained caregivers or emergency responders. At My Perfect Scooter, we offer evacuation sleds designed to support emergency preparedness in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, assisted living communities, schools, hotels, office buildings, government facilities, and other commercial environments. These emergency evacuation devices provide an important solution for organizations responsible for assisting individuals who cannot safely use stairs or maintain a seated position during an emergency. What makes evacuation sleds unique is their low-profile design and ability to transport individuals in a supine position. During an evacuation, the user is secured to the sled using integrated safety straps while trained personnel guide the sled over floors and down stairways using specially designed low-friction materials that help provide smooth, controlled movement. This design makes evacuation sleds particularly well suited for users who require full-body support throughout the evacuation process. Many evacuation sleds include durable features designed for dependable emergency use. Depending on the model, features may include heavy-duty construction, reinforced safety straps, multiple carry handles, durable pull straps, low-friction bottom surfaces, compact storage bags, wall-mounted storage systems, and foldable or roll-up designs for convenient storage and rapid deployment when needed. When selecting an evacuation sled, consider factors such as weight capacity, overall sled weight, storage dimensions, durability, number and placement of carry handles, deployment speed, and the type of facility where the sled will be used. It's also important to incorporate evacuation sleds into your emergency preparedness plan and ensure staff members receive proper training on when and how to use them safely. At My Perfect Scooter, our knowledgeable mobility specialists are here to help you choose the right evacuation solution for your facility. We can explain the differences between evacuation sleds and evacuation chairs, compare available models, and recommend the best option based on your building, occupant needs, and emergency preparedness requirements. Whether you're outfitting a healthcare facility, school, hotel, or commercial building, we're committed to helping you find dependable emergency equipment that supports safer evacuations.   Read Less
