eRanger Ambulance Bikes

As ambulances go the eRanger Ambulance looks a little strange when you first set eyes on it. Look more closely and it starts to make good sense.

At a fraction of the cost to buy and run than a more conventional 4x 4 ambulance the eRanger is just as good, if not better, at handling the rough road conditions so often found in rural African countries. Also, the eRanger’s are strong and rugged yet easily repairable when necessary.

It bridges that critical gap between a remote clinic or village and the nearest hospital, often as the only vehicle available to carry the sick, injured or expectant mothers with complications, it’s a lifeline that can literally mean the difference between life and death.

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.

Every Ambulance 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 is ensured with additional “roof” bars and an all-weather cover.

Patient transfer has been improved with a novel hinged section allowing easy access to the stretcher’s flat platform.  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.
