CASE STUDY: Waltham Forest Schools’ Site Manager, Bouygues E&S UK Limited said:
“The lift at our school had broken down and required repair, our school has special needs students who would not have been able to attend their lessons as normal, if we did not find another solution. After extended research I found a solution that would have solved all our problems, the Supertrac Major Tre70, a stair climber that would mean the students that were in a wheelchair would not have to get
sack trolleys up and down stairs can injure the operatives or damage flooring and stairs.
TRAINING, SERVICE AND HIRE It is really important to have a manufacturer-authorised company to service stair climbers and evacuation chairs so that warranties are not invalidated. The same applies for training. Other products include Flex Step, Transfer slings, DirectMii (evacution/direction app)

off the chair to get to other floors, this would cause less stress to the students and minimize any risks, the bonus was that it could also be used in a fire evacuation.
I then contacted Evaccess who were very sympathetic to my situation and organised a demo in the next few days, within a week we had the machine and training was provided the very same day. The machine is fantastic and the students enjoy using it, it is reliable, faster than a stair lift and makes the students feel safe. Thank You.”
