Medtec Ambulance Corporation, an Oshkosh Corporation [NYSE: OSK] company, has placed two RediMedic™ by Medtec™ ambulances into service at Community Life Support Systems, Inc., an emergency medical services company primarily serving the communities within Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.
“We’re very excited that the RediMedic by Medtec brand has been selected as the newest member of its ambulance fleet by Community Life Support in Lackawanna County,” said Dan Peters, Medtec Ambulance senior vice president of sales. “Community Life Support offers a wide range of ambulance services, and it is the type of organization that is ideally positioned to take advantage of the quality and value that we’ve engineered into this line.”
The RediMedic by Medtec R146 includes features such as a recessed overhead grab-rail, angled and protected roll-up flooring, and ducted air conditioning to help make EMTs safer and more comfortable. The line also boasts sweep-out and drop-down compartments, set-back upper interior cabinets, a 10-switch front electrical panel, fire-grade ADP step-well, a sharps and waste compartment within the squad bench, and a host of other options. “We saw in the RediMedic by Medtec line the opportunity to select a full-featured ambulance at an excellent value,” said Timothy Rowland, Community Life Support CEO. “Medtec was able to provide a stock vehicle with everything we need to provide efficient and professional patient care.”
The RediMedic by Medtec line features a robust inventory of stock vehicles, and a shorter than traditional lead-time for fleet purchases. The ambulance is available on Ford, GMC or Dodge platforms with a choice of either gas or diesel engines. The RediMedic line comes in the following models – R146, R152, R164, and R172.
