See Wheeled Coach Industries, Inc., in Product Connect | Thursday, March 17, 2011


Wheeled Coach Industries, Inc., the world's largest ambulance manufacturer, has completed certification by an independent third party testing laboratory to the requirements of NFPA 1901-09, Annex A - A4.13.1.1. 

  • SAE J2180, Tilt Table Procedure for Measuring the Static Rollover Threshold for Heavy Trucks.  

 

'To validate the Company's designs and engineering processes we have applied published testing criteria to the actual ambulances we manufacture every day. Sometimes it is not enough to only utilize a computer model for this important data. As the largest manufacturer of ambulances in America we feel dynamic testing and independent laboratory certification is very important to our customers. This is merely another step within our Company to ensure that we produce the finest and most reliable ambulance available" said Scott Barnes, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Customers and prospective purchasers can contact their Wheeled Coach dealer for full copies of these recent tests.
