My company is looking into switching from type III ford E350's to medium duty ambulances, can anyone give me some pro's or con's if your company has a medium duty ambulance?
FYI
Type I: Pickup based (F350, F450, etc) box may not be accessable from cab
Type II: Van/Chaircar type (smallest variety)
Type III: Van based with box (E350, E450, etc) Most common, box accessable from cab
Medium duty: truck based (International, Freightliner, GMC) (looks like a mini semi), largest variety, big, heavy and expensive
Fixed it for you. There is no Type IV classification. It is classified as a Medium duty!
Around here we have been using "type IV" for the medium duties. I want to say my Brady EMT book list them as such, but I'm not sure. Will check after work today.
