Bariatric Evacuation Sledge

The Thorpe Mill Bariatric Evacuation Sledge is a specialised emergency evacuation device designed to safely transport bariatric patients during building evacuations. It provides a reliable fire escape solution for individuals unable to descend stairs independently, ensuring rapid and secure movement to safety.

Featuring a widened foam layer, this sledge accommodates bariatric users comfortably while maintaining durability and stability. Constructed from reinforced materials, it is capable of safely supporting heavy weights when used correctly—operators should complete a risk assessment and proper training to handle extreme loads.

The sledge incorporates two layers of foam for optimal protection and comfort:

• Upper foam layer: Cushioned for patient comfort during transit.
• Lower foam layer: Heavy-duty construction to protect the patient and ensure structural stability.

For convenient storage and immediate accessibility, the sledge comes with a heavy-duty wall-mountable storage bag, allowing it to be positioned in critical locations such as near stairwells. Designed for high-stress emergency scenarios, this bariatric evacuation sledge is an essential component of any hospital, care home, or healthcare facility’s emergency preparedness plan.

This emergency evacuation sledge is similar to the Evacuation Sledge, but with a widened foam layer to make it suitable for bariatric users.
