Warwick Emergency Medical Services uses their Polaris Ranger 6×6 to cover approx. 25 miles of the Appalachian Trail, where normal ambulance vehicles cannot reach. The Ranger 6×6 is also very helpful during large sporting events and gatherings where maneuvering amongst crowds makes a larger vehicle untenable.
Modifications:
Before Warwick Ambulance could use their Ranger 6×6, they needed to customize it a bit for their unique needs. For that, they turned to TerraTor Corporation and selected a EMSter. The unit is designed to be able to get to a victim’s location where a normal ambulance cannot go and shuttle the victim back to the waiting ambulance.
The EMSter completely replaces the Ranger’s original bed.
Each standard unit consists of a box platform that can accommodate a flat board, stokes basket or a medical bed. Under the flat carry surface are 14 cubic inches of storage space. Behind the EMTs seat is further storage amounting to 2 cubic feet.
