 Village Ambulance Service Unveils New Vehicle
Village Ambulance Service has a new vehicle in its transportation arsenal that fits perfectly into the service’s mission to improve emergency medical response times to the community.
The Village Ambulance MediCart is the perfect solution for short trip patient transport from an incident site to a waiting ambulance. The vehicle has endless applications, making it ideal for our college campus, parks, sporting venues and large crowd events. Its compact size enables our emergency personnel to maneuver in smaller areas where a conventional ambulance may be unmanageable.
The MediCart has been outfitted to carry a portable gurney, patient extrication equipment, spinal immobilization equipment, automated external defibrillator, oxygen and a full trauma kit. It also features an 8’ deck, capable of handling a full-size backboard. The cart has approximately 1000 pounds of hauling capacity using a 9 horsepower gas powered motor, and can travel at a maximum speed of 12-18 mph. The gas tank holds 6 gallons and will go about 150 miles per tank.
Looking to rent the MediCart for an upcoming event? Please contact our office at 413-458-4889 for details.
