The ambulance vehicle with a box superstructure not only offers more room for action for rescue personnel, but also room for progress, because as medical and technical developments progress, the demands on chassis systems, among other things, are increasing. As a result, the technical and qualitative specifications increase the weight and dimensions of electrohydraulic chassis.
Here, the lightweight box has further advantages: Not only does it help to save weight in order not to exceed the maximum permissible gross weight of 3.5 t, which is usually required, but it also guarantees the use as an emergency PTA with the appropriate equipment. A basic vehicle with a box structure with a slim external dimensions of 1960 mm width, 3200 mm length and 1900 mm height results in a manoeuvrable PTA with generous space for patients and crew. Remaining equipment space: Bucket stretchers or CombiCarriers are located in an outer stowage compartment of the box PTA and are thus still easily accommodated outside the patient area. Even storage space for additional equipment, for example for use as an emergency PTA, allows the geometry of the superstructure to be easily accommodated, since rounding in the expansion area does not have to be taken into account here.
