Bariatric Ambulance | Obesity Patient Transport Vehicle – Infinity Chassis Units
Obesity is a growing global health concern. Standard ambulances are often not designed to safely transport bariatric patients. At Infinity Chassis Units, we manufacture specialized bariatric ambulances (also known as obesity ambulances or plus-size patient transport vehicles) in our Ankara, Turkey factory.
Our bariatric ambulances are designed to accommodate patients up to 500 kg (1,100 lbs) with safety, dignity, and comfort.
What is a Bariatric Ambulance?
A bariatric ambulance is a specially designed emergency medical vehicle for transporting patients with obesity or morbid obesity. These vehicles feature:
-
Extra wide interior compartment
-
Reinforced, wider bariatric stretcher
-
Hydraulic or electric lift system for safe loading
-
Stronger chassis and suspension
-
Enhanced climate control for patient comfort
Why Standard Ambulances Are Not Enough
Standard ambulances have:
-
Narrow stretchers (typically 55 cm / 21 inches wide)
-
Manual loading systems (maximum 160 kg / 350 lbs)
-
Limited interior space for patient access
For bariatric patients, standard ambulances create safety risks for both the patient and emergency medical staff. A bariatric ambulance eliminates these risks.
