Stairs

[ferlew]

and the need to get down them, when your knees just won't let you.
Reading of poor Emmie's debacle yesterday got me thinking a bit.
Mr F used to use (not sure of terminology, so bear with me) a set of 'sack trucks' with a funny 3 wheel combination on each side that would 'climb' up and down stairs. Do ambulances and/or patient transport not have such an arrangement on a chair for moving patients.??
And if not, I wonder why>

Just to add, to move 'stuff' not himself. On reading the above I thought it looked as if he was the one being moved up and down. Ooops.

Like this? (For goods, not people, though, as you say):

I've seen chairs with that sort of wheel configuration for getting people up and down stairs. There is also a motorised version available

For people, evacuation chairs can be used:

More like this, I guess:

They certainly used to.

Possibly seen as not the image the suits want to convey of our envy of the world.
