H. 9. Warranty
You have called for Ziebart Rust Proofing. The
Ziebart comes with a 5 year warranty not 7 years.

Due to the nature of chassis price increases, I
will only be able to honor an additional purchase
with an increase in price passed on by the manu-
facturer.
N.1. Delivery
We are bidding to you a 1985 chassis since there
are no 1984 chassis available. For this reason,
I can only give you a modified milestone chart

TYPE II
VAN AMBULANCES
Available on
Ford, Chevrolet or Dodge chassis
Wheeled coach production and en-
gineering of the Type II ambulance
created the most respected ambulance
in the World. This popular vehicle pro-
vides the maximum safety available
with a spacious, efficient patient com-
partment for the most crucial
emergency procedures.
The Chevrolet, Ford or Dodge chassis
is used exclusively with all manufac-
turer'S options that effect safety, dura-
bility and economy. we add welded side
beam supports for maximum safety and
then add our exclusive roll bar roof
structure. Welded steel pipes are united
with the reinforced side structures
creating a single frame Of steel.
The storage wall and sQuad bench are
bolted directly to the frame. Running
the full length and height of the body
and designed with years of experience.
Wheeled Coach cabinetry affords maxi-
mum space utilization for your every
need, from stretchers to even the
smallest supplies.
The curbside wall offers you addi-
tional room for essentials. The sQuad
bench doubles as a practical storage
area and when fully opened provides
sufficient room for items such as scoop
stretchers and long backboards. M-Bottle
storage and additional
cabinets are located
on the front bulk-
head wall.

Wheeled Innovations
New Ambulance Features Unveiled at Wheeled Coach
Wheeled Coach makes a lot of
ambulances, that's not secret. In fact,
they make more than any other
ambulance manufacturer in the
United States. And they're not satis-
fied. Company president Bob Collins
makes no bones about the fact that
his Orlando, Fl. firm is out to
increase their market share as much
as possible.
That's also no surprise, as readers
of any of the nation's major EMS
journals can attest. Wheeled Coach's
full-page ads have occupied their
back covers for the past year.
Anybody with a lot of money for
tooling can make a lot of ambu-
lances, and anybody with a lot of
money for marketing can sell them,
at least for awhile. But what kind of
product is behind all that hype?
Collins will tell you it's a top-of-
the-line ambulance. He uses only
name-brand materials - Naugahyde,
Congoleum, Formica - whose price
is kept low by means of mass produc-
tion volume and efficiency. His plant
turns out between 22 and 25 units per
week; he can build a Type II vehicle
in 12 working days, and a modular of
either type in about 17.
jems Associate Editor Thom Dick
attended Wheeled Coach's first
annual dealers' meeting in June. Dick
has a strong mechanical background
as well as a keen appreciation for
high-quality craftsmanship. He
previewed a dozen-odd innovations
presented at that meeting. His
impressions, and an account of those
new ideas, appear in the following
report.
Eighty representatives of some
28 ambulance dealerships
from Europe and throughout
the United States attended the
Wheeled Coach Corporation's first
annual Dealers' Meeting early in
June, at the firm's Orlando head-
quarters. What they saw there is
bound to effect drastic change in the
design and construction of ambu-
lances - and the federal guidelines
that pertain to them.
They saw how Wheeled Coach
patient compartments are now being
sealed against and inspected for
leakage of dust and exhaust gases.
They heard about a new high-gloss
paint, currently used on commercial
It doesn't even show in the daytime,
but the comer beads on this Type III
module are reflective: they outline the
ambulance's box at night when an
approochmgv~kk~h~d~h~
illuminate it. The corner bead is
actually a cover for the rivets that
fasten the new .063" marine-type hard
aluminum skin onto the corners of
this ambulance's frame. The rivets are
sealed first.
The reflective bead fits into the
channel in the aluminum extrusion
that makes up the vertical corners in
the new Wheeled Coach frame.
airliners, that is easily applied, is too
hard to be polished, requires no care
and yet is flexible enough so it
doesn't crack. They listened to a pre-
sentation by an engineer from
Reynolds Aluminum. He told them
how a new modular body, made to
derive its structural strength from its
welded aluminum frame rather than a
one-eighth's-inch skin (as is the
current practice) and made out of
thinner but harder aluminum, is
being made tougher and lighter.
Seven hundred pounds lighter.
That design is the brain-child of
Wheeled Coach chief engineer Harry
Haun, with the help of Reynolds.
Dealers nodded their approval as
Haun also described a new shock-
absorbing support system for the box
of a modular unit, mounted on steel
outrigger brackets rather than directly
over the chassis frame - a feature
that should improve the box's lateral
stability and limit swaying, he said.
They applauded as Haun showed
them a reflectorized exterior body
molding that highlights the outline of
an ambulance at night. And they
expressed similar satisfaction when he
displayed his design for a new mod-
ular roof - with a one-inch crown in
it, so water runs off of the formerly
flat surface and into the gutters.
One dealer, Alfred De Vries, the
largest ambulance distributor in
Europe, markets Wheeled Coaches
along with Volvo, Volkswagen and
Mercedes ambulances as well as being
a major ambulance service operator
in the Netherlands. De Vries told his
colleagues that some of the first
Wheeled Coach vehicles he received
(the company is eight years old) were
difficult to sell in Europe because
their quality didn't compare well with
products from European factories.
"It's much easier now," he said, but
noted that American vehicles are still
built consistently wider than Euro-
pean ones.
If Wheeled Coach has grown in
size, the company's quality has
improved as well. A careful observer
of equipment displayed at EMS
conferences three or four years ago
would have noticed cosmetic flaws in
some of the Wheeled Coach exhibits.
There were structural irregularities,
too; one good example is the gull-
wing door once used on the vertical
spare wheel compartments in many
Type II vans. The hinge seemed
underengineered and the door looked
cheap.
The new version is much better. It
employs automotive-type hardware
and is hinged horizontally. (We're
still not entirely happy with that
door; the fiberglass lip around the
finished openings of several units we
saw at the factory were scribed very

The use of a harder grade of
aluminum has made possible smaller
frame members for this Type III unit.
That means a slightly larger interior
size with no increase in external
dimensions. Note that this frame is
supported outboard of the chassis
frame, rather than directly over it.

Gary Burris, a sales representative for
the U.S. Paint Company, talks to the
nation's Wheeled Coach dealers about

roughly to the body contour. They
didn't really fit the bodies of the
ambulances we saw. That means a
considerable amount of filler, like
Bondo, is necessary in order to make
the job look finished. Bondo is good
stuff, but it cracks when you use it
like that.)
That was definitely an exception to
the overall impression we got of
Wheeled Coach. We toured the
factory on a Thursday, before it was
cleaned up for the dealers. Work
areas were relatively neat. Everywhere
we looked, workers' names were writ-
ten on parts of ambulances that
would soon be covered by new
upholstery, cabinetry or paint.
Employees sign their names with felt-
tip markers on their work, whether
it's a pair of doors on a module or
an action-wall cabinet in a van.
They're required to, and they do.
Four full-time quality control
inspectors hover over various areas of
the modular and Type II assembly
lines, placing green stickers on
finished ambulances wherever
retouching or reworking is required.
When a customer orders an ambu-
lance, the ambulance is built on
paper first. Its design is then sent to a
dealer, who goes over it with the
customer, and the customer signs
each page of the design before fabri-
cation begins. When the product is
completed, those drawings go into
Harry Haun's files for future refer-
ence. If the ambulance is involved in

returned to the factory for major
reworking - exactly as it once was.
Haun has over 6,000 such designs
currently on file.
We walked around the end of the
assembly areas, snooping inside and
under finished vehicles. One thing
you always notice about modular
ambulances is that their outboard
compartment doors never seem to
slam shut without an argument.
(That's even more noticeable with an
all-aluminum door, because it has
little mass.) We did find a few balky
doors at Wheeled Coach, but most
were surprisingly operational.
External compartment doors on the
modulars are double-gasketed,
rubber-to-rubber. Their hinges are
adjustable in two directions. They're
double-latched, too, top and bottom,
with Eberhart rotary-type automotive
latches like the ones that keep your
car doors shut. The latches and their
pins are all adjustable. And they're
linked to paddle-type handles by
means of prestressed stainless steel
aircraft-type cables.
Wheeled Coach's electrical systems
are most impressive. Every conductor
is heat-labeled at three-inch intervals
That's the role of these special
brackets, which engage the module at
10 points by means of these rubber
shock mounts. Modules in the past
have been mounted on oak blocks,
directly fastened to the chassis frame.

design diagram. Concealed wiring is
routed through flexible conduit, and
all connections are accessible. Each
ambulance has a main power distri-
bution panel and two switching
panels; this is standard in almost any
ambulance. But generally, you can
make direct correlations between the
neatness of an electrical system and
its predicted reliability. Wheeled
Coach's electrical panels are down-
right beautiful.
In addition, a stock part of the
electrical system is externally mounted
alternator diodes, oversized even for
the 165-amp Leece Neville alternator,
that are mounted in a heat sink
assembly behind the grille of the
truck chassis. This keeps those big
diodes cool and protects them from
switching mistakes. (Externally
mounted diodes are not a new
concept; but the fact that they are a
standard part of the Wheeled Coach
electrical system is.)
Conclusions
We've seen some top-notch
ambulances: by Cottner-Bevington
and Miller-Meteor, for example; by
Horton, Braun, Excellance and
others. We've seen - and worked in
- some that weren't so hot, too;
products of big factories that cranked
out large numbers of rapidly
assembled ambulances with sloppy
cabinetry and slipshod electrical
systems, that were a challenge to keep
on the road.
What's behind all the hype from
Wheeled Coach? A very good Type II
ambulance, for one thing. And a
damned good modular. 0

unfortunately we're not! But fortunately the com-
petitiveness of the industry has inspired us to constantly
improve and create a better and better ambulance line.
Our Type II Van Ambulance has always been famous
for innovative designs and engineering supremacy. It is
definitely the best looking ambulance on the market.
NOW, we have completely redesigned the interiors of
each vehicle with magnificent color coordinated accents.
This new design is not only practical and functional, but
optically increases the work area in the patient's com-
partment Only Wheeled Coach offers you such exquisitely
decorated interiors to suit your particular taste.
Inside and out, Wheeled Coach has created the best
Type II ambulance in the world.

We have not only improved our
standard product line, but are also in-
troducing a complete new line of the
world's first lightweight ambulances
with features and innovations which are
sure to revolutionize the ambulance
manufacturing industry.
All of the new lightweight modular
TYpe I and TYpe III ambulances are de-
signed for maximum strength and
durability. Considerable reduction of

The Wheeled Coach revolutionary
resilient body mounting systemsignifi-
cantly contributes to longer modular
bOdy life and a smoother, more com.
fortable ride. By applying this rubber to
rubber mounting technology, friction
between the modular box and chassis
is greatly reduced. More stability is
achieved by a wider mount.
Ambulance design and construction
are important for reliability and dura-
bility. Wheeled Coach provides only the
best quality available. But the patient's
compartment is where most rescue pro-
fessionals spend their time. Wheeled
coach has completely redesigned it.
New, prestigious color coordinated
interiors complement this great ambu.
lance. As with the new TYpe II interiors,
options and accessories complete this
extraordinary vehicle for operating
efficiency and your particular tastes.
If Wheeled Coach was the only ambu-
lance manufacturer in the world, there
would be no criteria for comparision.
Therefore; we welcome all the other
manufacturers to continue building
their ambulances, while Wheeled Coach
leads the entire ambulance industry.

THE WORLD'S
MOST MODERN PLANT
As we continue, custom molded fiberglass components
are secured in place. All fiberglass components are molded in
our plant for an accurate and precise fit to the body frame.
The cabinetry shop then installs all cabinets, benches and
shelves. Each has been cut specifically for your particular
ambulance, assuring snug fits. The cabinets are botted
directly to the vehicle frame for maximum strength and
safety and then covered with genuine formica. Once
securely in place, the vehicle proceeds to the upholstery
work area. Here, the genuine naugahyde is sewn around
cushions for seats, patient
beds and other upholstered
accessories. All seams are
tested for strength.

the production line. Each phase is individually tested upon
completion.
Wheeled Coach, the largest ambulance manufacturer
in the world, has designed and built the most modern
and efficient ambulance manufacturing facility anywhere.

The Type II ambulance
conversions begin with
either a Ford or Chevrolet
van, direct from the manu-
facturer. When the vehicle
arrives, it is tested for
mechanical performance
and then entered into pro-

gutted and the entire roof
is cut away. Steel side frames
and the famous Wheeled

for maximum strength and
safety. All components are
welded for additional
support.

TYPE I & TYPE III AMBULANCE
AND RESCUE AMBULANCE
FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT
GENERAL
Wheeled Coach Modular Ambulances and Rescue Ambu-
lances are an important addition to the Wheeled Coach
product line for the trade. The addition now completes the
line to include Type I, Type II, Type III, Suburban, and The
Low Top Transporter.
The Type II Van Ambulances have received world.wide
attention because of effective leadership in design, crafts-
manship, quality and operating economies. These excellent
characteristics have now been carried throughout the entire
line and are exceptionally well exemplified in the Type I & III
models described in the following.
The Type I & III is a true modular, being an entirely
separate, box-like unit designed to be added to many different
chassis but for attachment directly to the cab to form an
integral unit through which a walk.thru can be made in the
Type III. In this manner a heavy truck.type chassis can be
utilized to carry a much larger patient's compartment (than
a van) but with all of the conveniences of a single unit
ambulance. The Wheeled Coach Module is designed to such
rugged, durable specifications that it is expected to ouJlast
more than one chassis and anticipates its adaptation to new
chassis during its service life. Upon reading the following
data concerning material, dimensions and space utilization,
we believe you will agree that Wheeled Coach provides un.
matched superiority in its vehicle class.
General Body Construction of Module *
The ambulance body is of all aluminum construction and
of standard design that exceeds federal specification KKK-A.
1822A as amended. It is completely modular in design for easy
removal and replacement on similar chassis.
The exterior of the body is constructed of .125" thick
aluminum sheet, with a temper and alloy of 5052 H32 for
strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. All frame
members are aluminum extrusions and structural shapes.
These frame members have alloy and temper of 6063-T5 or
6061-T6. All frame and structural members are welded.
Vehicle is accented with genuine stainless steel fenders.
Roof Construction
The roof configuration is a single one piece .125" alu-
minum sheet with a sub-structure. Aluminum extruded
box tubing .125" x 2" x 2", located on 12" centers. The
sub-structure is welded to the roof panel. -The upper roof
channel incorporates a permanent drip molding in the radius.
Side Structure
The side structure is also reinforced with aluminum ex.
truded box tubing .125" x 2" x 2" which are located on 12"
centers. These are also welded to the side panelS and the
roof channel of the body.
Floor Structure
The floor structure consists of 3" structural aluminum
channels located on 12" centers. These channels extend the
full width of the body and are welded to the side structures.
There is a .050" aluminum subfloor with a 3/4" plywood top
floor securely anchored to the floor channels with 1/4-20 floor
screws.
Door Construction
All door jambs and door frames are constructed with
aluminum extruded shapes. All door jambs are welded
to the side exterior sheets and to the side structures. The
exterior sheets fit into the door frame and are welded to the
frame from the inside of the door. The door edges are welded
together and to the outer .125" thick door panel.
The door hardware consists of stainless steel paddle
handles which are positive double rotary locks. The latches
are mounted with 3/16" stainless steel bolts. All exterior
doors are equipped with 3" stainless steel continuous hinges
with a 1/4" stainless steel pin. All hinges are bolted to the
door frame with 1/4" stainless steel bolts for corrosion resis-
tance and easy removal if damaged. For additional flexibility
all hinges are slotted for future adjustments.
The doors fit flush into the door frames and double seals
on foam waterproof gaskets. *
Compartment Construction
All exterior compartment boxes are constructed from
.090" thick 3003-H14 aluminum sheet. All joints are fully
welded to eliminate the need for unsightly caulking and
sealing.
Both the 129" and 138" vehicles are particularly favored
for urban use due to a high maneuverability in tight spots
and short turning radius offered by a 138" wheelbase chassis.
The 138" module offers slightly more useable interior space,
but the same ease of handling since it mounts on an iden-
tical chassis.
EXTERIOR FEATURES
Standard Equipment
Windows
All doors have two windows each. The top windows
measure 15" x 141/4" and lower windows 8" x 143/.1". Con.
struction is of aluminum extrusions' with neoprene gasketed
safety glass. All top windows open for additional ventilation
if desired.
Rear Lift Step Bumper
The rear bumper and step are a single unit consisting of
a bumper surface, full width, of bright aluminum tread plate
with an open grid step surface. An aluminum kick plate of
tread plate design extends full width of body below the rear
doors and above the step area.
Stone and Road Hazard Shield
Bright rubrails at beltline and skirtline run the full length
of the body and bright aluminum tread plates rise 12" upward
at the front corners. Added protection is gained from a com.
plete running board and splash guard extending from the
front wheels to the beginning of the patient's compartment,
or module. Complete undercoating is provided to all under
surfaces to provide against corrosion and for sound deadening.
NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS
The Wheeled Coach program of product improvement is
continuous and necessitates that Wheeled CoaGh Corporation
reserve the right to change specifications and prices without
notice.

SUMMARY
In summary we would like to list just a few of the
many features found in a Wheeled Coach ambulance that
makes it far superior to any other ambulance or rescue
vehicle at any price. Many satisified Wheeled Coach
customers can attest that our product is the finest
money can buy.
Workmanship- Only materials of the highest quality
and craftsmen of the finest caliber are used in the
construction of our ambulances. Many of our employees
are trained EMTs and know the necessity of taking no
short cuts when producing a vehicle on which lives
depend. We stress safety through out the vehicle. This
safety begins when the unit is designed and continues
during every phase of construction. We will not
tolerate anything that will cheapen our product.
Quality Materials- Materials used in the
construction of our vehicles are time tested names you
believe in. Names like Armstrong, Naugahyde, Formica,
Eberhardt and Reynolds. Our action area is of brushed
aluminum. All patient hardware is by Ferno-Washington.
These names, like Wheeled Coach, are synonymous with
quality, safety and dependability.
Modular Body- Our modular body is of all aluminum,
all welded construction. All structural members are of
.125" thickness. We employ patented extrusions to
provide you with extra strength and safety. We are the
only American ambulance manufacturer to use as standard
construction a single sheet roof of .125" thickness.
This eliminates splices and reduces the chances of seam
seperation in case of a roll-over. The lighter weight
aluminum body will save you money on wear and tear as
well as improved fuel economy. Our body has a 15 year
warranty on the structural members. This can be
offered due to aluminum's strength and resistence to
corrosion.
Interior Construction- Wheeled Coach provides
you with an all wood interior. Our cabinets are fully
sealed both inside and out with Formica laminate. This
not only provides a pleasing color scheme but aids in

clean up after a call. All edges are rounded and
trimmed with stainless steel. Our floor is of 7 ply
3/4" plywood covered with a color coordinated Armstrong
floor. All seating areas are fully padded and covered
with Naugahyde. The advantages of using wood for our
interior is that it absorbs more "road noise" than does
metal or plastic. In case of an accident even the
impact energy is more likely to be absorbed by wood.
Electrical- We have provided a overhead wiring
trace in the fiberglass headliner to allow access to
your wiring harness as it passes through the body. At
Wheeled Coach all wiring is in harness and loomed.
Anywhere it passes through metal or fiberglass it is
grommeted. Our wiring is done right, not just a bunch
of loose wires running from end to en~In our type III
and Type II units the cab overhead console drops down
to allow full access to the electrical panels. This
means the electrical system is inside, dry and out of
the weather. All switch circuits are protected by
relays and 200 amp. solenoids as well as protected by
automatic reset circuit breakers. This helps reduce the
electrical load notorious in ambulances. All wiring is
both color and number coded to the supplied schematics.
These are just a few of the many features of a
Wheeled Coach ambulance that can make it pay for
itself very quickly. We realize you are purchasing a
new ambulance not because you want to but because you
need to. ---
---We have designed our vehicles to provide the
operator many years of safe, economical and reliable
service. The price of a Wheeled Coach may appear more
expensive than the competition today but in the years
ahead it will prove to be the best bargin.
Thank you for the opportunity to be able to quote on
your ambulance needs and if we can be of further help
please call.
