Escaping from danger or fire has never been this easy.

Escape Chute Systems provide a means of emergency exit that permits rapid, mass evacuation from high rise structures during life threatening emergencies. It is uniquely designed to provide a relatively safe and quick method of vertical or inclined escape and is always accessible and ready for use. It provides a unique solution for vertical escape in sometimes difficult conditions during an emergency evacuation.

A simple Escape System

The construction of the chute helps to protect the evacuees from heat, fire and is used for rescuing the old and the handicapped, it enables unconscious patients and those on stretchers to be brought to safety with very little training.

This is sometimes difficult or impossible using traditional rescue equipment.

Three-way protection

The escape chute consists of three layers. The outer layer is a material that will not ignite, even when exposed to open flame. The intermediate layer helps to regulate the speed at which the escapee passes through the chute. The inner, supporting layer is designed to reduce friction.

Layer 1: The Outside Layer-Flameproof Layer Is there to protect you from the flames and radiated heat, this layer can withstand a constant temperature of 660 Deg "C", and starts to melt at 800 Deg “C”.

Layer 2: The Middle Layer-Breaking Layer This layer has a series of stainless steel coiled springs sewn into the material, these springs have a small diameter, so as you travel through them they restrict you, but will not hold you.

The chute user will place pressure on the chute's interior wall with their leg's and arms, the more pressure they apply, the more they slow , less pressure and they speed up.

Layer 3: The Inner Layer - Support layer. This is the layer that is connected to the storage/deployment

device, and holds the chute in place; it can withstand the dead weight load of 5 tonnes.

Just sit on the edge, with your legs in the chute, and feel it grip you, slide forward and lower your self to waist level, spread your legs, and slowly lower yourself fully into the chute. By applying and releasing pressure against the interior wall of the chute, with your arms and legs, YOU have control of your descent speed.
