What is the average weight of a standard stair chair?

15 lbs
18 lbs
22 lbs
25 lbs

The correct answer is: 18 lbs

The average weight of a standard stair chair is typically around 18 lbs. This weight strikes a balance between being light enough for maneuverability and strong enough to safely support a patient during transport. Stair chairs are designed for use in emergency situations where patients need to be transported up or down stairs, and their design focuses on providing both stability and ease of use for the operator. The weight is important as it ensures that emergency responders can efficiently handle the equipment while also bearing the weight of the patient being transported.
