Ambulance

The Ambulance has been developed to provide transport to and from local health centres, providing communities with the means to take advantage of distant and widespread health-care resources. Able to safely and comfortably carry one patient and an outreach medical worker, plus emergency supplies for on-site treatment, it can greatly reduce the time taken to get essential and urgent medical assistance to remote communities.

The Ambulance has recently undergone a range of technical and equipment improvements. Every Ambulance now has a specialist leading link front suspension system fitted as standard, improving the Ambulance’s already impressive off-road and on-road capability. In addition complete patient protection has been improved with additional “roof” bars and a newly designed all weather cover. Finally patient transfer has been improved with a novel hinged section allowing easy access to the stretchers flat platform.

Standard equipment has also been improved with the addition of a large capacity motorcycle rear carrier box and a fire extinguisher. In addition to these modifications to the Ambulance sidecar the JH 200 L has been uprated and improved with Electric start and an easy to maintain pushrod engine that delivers an improvement in engine Torque over the older overhead cam engine. All these developments underline our commitment to produce the most complete, effective and versatile vehicle solution for rural healthcare delivery throughout the world.

The main feature of the Ambulance is the side-mounted stretcher, attached via metal-elastic mounts that, when combined with the sidecar's suspension, considerably smoothes the ride over rough ground.

The stretcher itself has multiple functions. When flat, a prone patient can be carried, protected by an all weather cover. It then also converts into a suspended chair. In both positions there is storage space at the rear of the sidecar. The chair position is suitable for the walking wounded, sick and expectant mothers.
