Ambulances play a crucial role in emergency fleet operations. They serve as mobile care units, equipped with essential medical equipment and reliable transportation capabilities to ensure timely response to critical incidents. The effectiveness of an ambulance directly impacts patient outcomes by enabling swift access to professional care, even in challenging conditions such as icy or slippery roads. As part of a well-coordinated fleet, ambulances help maintain public safety, support first responders, and demonstrate a commitment to reliability and efficiency in urgent situations.
Upfitting an ambulance involves the specialized process of equipping the vehicle with advanced medical devices, critical life-support systems, durable storage solutions, and technologies that enhance operational efficiency and safety for both patients and medical personnel. Sometimes this process extends beyond standard outfitting, addressing the unique demands of diverse operating environments, including the integration of features such as Onspot Automatic Snow Chains to ensure optimal traction in adverse weather conditions.
Today, if Onspots will be part of the equipment on an ambulance build then careful consideration must be made as to the type of truck chassis that will be used, design/layout of the chassis, as well as the terrain the ambulance will run on. The optimal set up for the auto chain system is one with as much ground clearance as possible. Additionally, limited obstructions from brake and suspension components are always beneficial. Last but certainly not least, consideration of the terrain is another important factor. Rough dirt road in rural areas and even speed bumps can prove to be challenges that may need to be considered. At Onspot our sales team can help determine if fitment of automatic tire chains is the best option for your ambulance.
