Decades of Innovation

The Wheeled Coach Difference

Wheeled Coach has a legacy of pioneering industry-first features, technologies, and processes—delivering some of the most advanced ambulances on the market. The only thing we don’t offer is compromise.

By listening to our customers, we've engineered mission-critical features trusted by leading fire and emergency departments nationwide. From 200-unit government contracts to single custom builds, every Wheeled Coach ambulance is built tough and tailored to exact specifications.

Industry-Leading Safety Features

Our highly reinforced but ultra-light SafeGuard™ box frame creates one of the strongest, safest and most durable ambulance bodies around.

In the event of a crash, our exclusive SafePass™ Safety System gives crews a direct release tab for exiting the ambulance, while our Per4Max® restraint system provides controlled deceleration to protect EMTs. The one-buckle design allows for easy on and quick egress without sacrificing the freedom of movement needed for uninterrupted patient care.

Innovative Lighting

Our proprietary Corner Cap Lighting System provides 360-degree lighting coverage for our Type 1 and Type 3 models, from both the ground and the air. Its design also protects the DOT marker lights and provides stress relief to minimize damage in the event of an accident.

On our Transit ambulances, the EnterSafe™ top is the only 45-degree lighting system that forces more light out in front and to the sides of the ambulance. An industry first, it increases intersection safety by improving ambulance visibility for other drivers on the road.

Precise, Durable Construction

Our DuraSeam™ door construction removes traditional extrusions by integrating the door jamb into a one-piece, seamless side skin—eliminating crevice corrosion, improving the paint finish, and increasing structural strength for passenger safety.

Our DuraLite™ cabinets are so solid, they’re warrantied for the lifetime of the original owner. Choose CNC-cut, marine-grade plywood, Thermo-lite or customizable aluminum, with interiors built using wooden dowels instead of standard staples.

Superior Anti-Corrosion Protection

Our proprietary nine-step ToughCoat™ paint process employs precision application and a revolutionary high-tech primer with adhesion and anti-corrosive properties never before achieved. Other layers of anti-corrosion protection include a one-piece aluminum skin; engineered pre-painted, pre-punched holes; and SermaGard® ceramic-coated bolts. Combined, all these features make for construction that can stand up to the most demanding conditions.

Efficient Performance

Our patented Cool-Bar™ AC system boasts 30% greater condensing capability, 30% greater BTU capacity and 50% greater air flow. An external condenser mounted on the front of the module body, it provides easy access and enables multiple warning light options for maximum visibility and flexibility.

Leading Through Innovation

In addition to our industry firsts, Wheeled Coach leads the industry in other product innovations, providing enhanced protection for patients and paramedics with the best value and the greatest long-range return on your fleet investment.

Advanced Customization Tools


Our engineering team utilizes the PRO-E system, an extremely sophisticated three-dimensional CAD-CAM program that allows designs in virtual reality. Complex, customized interior and exterior vehicle specifications can be quickly analyzed to determine feasibility, significantly reducing man-hours and the potential for error while maximizing flexibility.

TrueForm™ Wall Construction


Adding to the durability of our ambulances is our tough, straight wall construction that provides durable, precision-made walls with our StraightLine™ Laser-Guided Fixture Alignment to create accurate and square repeatable frames that fit every time, whether on new bodies or replacements.

Premium Interior and Exterior


Wheeled Coach delivers high-quality ambulance interiors built for durability, functionality, and easy cleaning. They offer full aluminum cabinets and combination aluminum/composite designs for rugged, flexible storage. Cabinets are computer-designed, CNC-manufactured, and assembled with wooden dowels—superior to the industry-standard staples. All exposed edges are heat banded, and hinge hardware is hidden for a clean, European-style finish. This construction allows Wheeled Coach to warranty the cabinet build and lamination for as long as the vehicle is owned by the original customer.

Per4Max® 4-Point Safety Belts


Per4Max 4-point safety belts with controlled deceleration technology are standard on all seating positions in the patient compartment. With a special webbing, Per4Max absorbs energy and slows deceleration, which can reduce chances of serious injury.

SafePass™


SafePass allows the patient compartment entry doors to be opened in the event an accident damages the door lock linkage or in the event of a rear handle malfunction.
