The Original EVAC BRIDGE™ — Setting the Industry Standard
13th June 2025
At Working At Height Limited, we pride ourselves on innovation, integrity, and delivering real-world safety solutions that stand the test of time. That legacy began with the development of our EVAC BRIDGE™, the industry’s first dedicated train-to-train evacuation bridge — designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in the UK.
The First of Its Kind
Our EVAC BRIDGE™ was born from a deep understanding of the rail industry’s critical need for a safe, rapid, and practical means of passenger transfer between trains in emergency scenarios. Before our breakthrough design, there was no fit-for-purpose bridge that addressed the combination of track clearance, varying platform heights, and train door configurations in a single, proven system.
Working closely with rail operators, safety specialists, and emergency planners, we delivered the first bridge of its kind, built with uncompromising attention to:
• Structural integrity and load-bearing performance
• Ease of rapid deployment during an emergency
• Adaptability to a wide range of rolling stock and track conditions
• Compliance with the most stringent safety standards
A Proven Design — Not to Be Imitated
Since its launch, the EVAC BRIDGE™ has been successfully deployed and trusted by major UK rail operators, receiving industry recognition for its performance and reliability. It has been rigorously tested, risk-assessed, and refined through real-world application — not just theory.
Unfortunately, as with all successful innovations, imitation follows.
We have seen copycat products enter the market, attempting to replicate the look of our bridge while lacking the crucial engineering depth, testing pedigree, and end-user consultation that went into the original. These imitations do not meet the same safety benchmarks, have not been operationally proven, and pose a potential liability in critical scenarios.
Why Imitations Should Be Avoided
When it comes to emergency evacuation equipment, "almost" is not good enough. A hastily reverse-engineered copy may look similar, but it cannot guarantee:
• Full compatibility across rolling stock and infrastructure
• Proven performance under real-life pressure
• Support from the original designers and UK-based manufacturer
• A continuous programme of product development and customer support
Rail operators must ask themselves: In an emergency, would you trust anything less than the original, proven solution?
