Medtec Introduces Full Featured and Value Priced Medtec Redimedic Ambulance Line

GOSHEN, Ind. — Medtec Ambulance Corporation, an Oshkosh Corporation company, introduced its RediMedic line of full featured and value positioned ambulances at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis, Ind. Built in Goshen, Ind., the RediMedic line is easy-to-operate, easy-to-service and available with a full range of innovative features in popular configurations and chassis choices.

“Through direct feedback from our customers — including EMTs, fleet managers and mechanics — we identified the need for a value positioned ambulance line that is built on the foundation of simplicity, ease of maintenance and a range of enhancements. That is the genesis of the Medtec RediMedic line,” said Dan Peters, Pierce Manufacturing senior vice president and general manager of Medtec Ambulance. “EMS and medical transportation fleets are seeking ambulances that meet their unique requirements — and RediMedic delivers.

The RediMedic 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 features: sweep-out and drop-down compartments; set-back upper interior cabinets; 10-switch front electrical panel; fire-grade ADP step-well; sharps and waste compartment within the squad bench; and a host of other options.

RediMedic ambulances are built for simplified maintenance and service, with easy access to electrical, HVAC assemblies, oxygen components and other systems. “Mechanics and fleet managers will immediately appreciate the fact that we designed the RediMedic line to be easy to maintain and service — keeping them on frontline duty and out of the maintenance shop,” added Peters.

The RediMedic line is being introduced to the market with 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.
