Alerta Evacuation Sledge
VAT exemption
Put simply, VAT exemption allows chronically sick or disabled people to buy eligible items at 0% rather than 20% VAT - thus saving them a significant amount of money. It is normally far easier to claim this exemption when buying online. Online shops, like ourselves, are set up to allow you to answer simple questions, in the comfort of your own home. High Street retailers are generally not.

The base layer is tough and hard-wearing, able to absorb minor impacts and scuffs, and it is covered with a low friction material that will slide over common floor surfaces such as carpet, tiles, concrete and stairs. The top layer is much softer and more comfortable, so it keeps the user protected. The user is kept safe by means of safety belts and a strong pocket at the foot end, which prevents sliding out of the sledge. The sledge has straps at either end for one or two to use. When not required, the sledge can be kept in its own pouch and hung from a door or wall.
