Crestline Introduces The Summit at FDIC

In April 2012, Crestline will introduce a new ambulance design at FDIC in Indianapolis. The Summit is a Type III Ambulance designed specifically to meet the needs of the fire industry, first responders, and EMS services.

The Summit features Crestline’s new Aerobody roll cage, which provides optimum strength and durability. The seamless aluminum exterior is then coated with Crestline’s exclusive Crestcoat paint process that enables them to offer a nonpro-rated life time paint warranty. The Summit offers maximum storage capabilities with full-height exterior compartments.

It comes in a choice of configurations: a traditional squad bench arrangement or Crestline’s medic-safe seating design that enables the medic to be forward- or rearward-facing while safely providing patient care. The Summit was designed to be extremely flexible to meet different departments’ needs and can be conveniently converted for additional countertop space or second patient transport.
