The rural town I work part time for is getting a new rig with a power gurney on a track. Will hold up to 700 pounds suspended. No lifting bariatric patients there!

We're *supposed* to be starting to get those next year...we'll see lol. Although we just did open up three new Stations with 8 new 24 hour shifts in total at said new Stations so I wonder of that's where we'll start seeing the new rigs...The rural town I work part time for is getting a new rig with a power gurney on a track.

Every one of our new trucks is going to have them starting with the last one we just got this year.

We usually get them in the end of summer/fall. We get 4-5 a year. Once they hit 80k they go to backup status then are sold just before hitting 100k.
I believe they approved 5 this upcoming fiscal year.
It'll take 4-5 years for everyone to have them.

80K? At my old place they would runs them well into the 100's! Not as back-ups. The "back-ups" didn't run at all. lol

Yeah all our new ones are supposed to be coming with power load and power cots (now you only have to figure out how to get that 700lb Bari pt into the gurney then you're good!) plus backup cameras and an MCT system that uses those aftermarket indash touchscreen displays so no need for a Tough book mounted on a pedestal in the middle of the cab. At least that's what the Supes promised lol. Supposedly we'll see 30 of them come in over the next year (with the new additions we have roughly 40 24hr units now). The power load/cots do sound for sure, and a couple rigs have the prototype in dash MCT things already so I have a good feeling about those coming sometime, and I can't imagine the backup cameras being hard to get on new rigs, but really the only concrete this game we know for sure right now is that they'll be red lol

I think our oldest frontline unit is a 2014. Maybe a few 2013s left. The truck at my station that I'm moving to January first for the first half of next year has like 3000 miles on it. The newest one with the power load had ~225 miles on it when I saw it getting all shined up for the EMS conference.

Dang, we have some old BLS trucks that have passed 500k. ALS trucks are much nicer, oldest I have had 200k, newest I have driven had 4k.

Wow. They are just getting broke in. Both places that I work 250,000 is getting to be common. I am impressed on how well the gas engines are holding up. But they do like their oil

They have a better resale value under 100k and they don't want to deal with costs after the 100k warranty runs out.
