One of the agencies I volunteer with is based on a suburban college campus. We are looking at purchasing some sort of gator/cart that would allow us to carry more equipment to the scene and preferably take patients a short distance (such as across the field or out of a residential quad) on a rear stretcher to meet the responding ambulance. I've poked around a little bit online without much luck and was hoping someone on here might be able to point me in the right direction.

Here are our basic requirements:

1)The vehicle must be enclosed.......at a minimum the driver/passenger compartment must be able to keep out the elements.....although it would be a big plus to keep the patient dry as well.

2) The cab and all compartments must be lockable. Non-lockable compartments + drunk college kids = stolen equipment and vandalism.

3) A gas or diesel powered vehicle would be optimal.......not really interested in charging a golf cart.

Hopefully something like this exists. Anyone able to suggest anything?
 
Talk to your local golf cart dealer. They should have brochures for such a cart.
 
ill try and post a pic of the one my school has it doesnt have any locking cabinents but can carry 5 including one on a backboard works very well for us here in edmonton alberta even in the snow
 
this is probably exactly what you are looking for. it is probably a tad pricey, but if it suits your needs, you might be able to get a grant to pay for it.

I've seen Gem Cars customized for EMS.
 
Thanks for all the replies. The ASAP vehicles are pretty much EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I'm sure they cost a pretty penny.......anyone have a ball park estimate?
 
We have two John Deere Gator Ambulances with lots of room for equipment. They can be setup to accept a regular Ferno/Stryker stretcher, or just a backboard. You can order a front cab and, if you really need the rear covered, can custom fab that or have a company do it for you.

Approx Costs:

State-Contract 4x2 Gator TS $6,000
Bumper, Lights, Siren, etc. $1,000 (John Deere dealer and EMS suppliers)
Front Cab: $700 (http://www.thegatordepot.com/)
Med-Lite Bed: $3,000 (http://www.kimtekresearch.com/medlite.shtml)
Stretcher: $2,500 (EMS supplier)

PM me for more info and pictures.
