Ambulance Style Battery Box - Diesel Forum

I've looked several times for battery boxes that you usually see on ambulances. The ones I'm looking for go right behind the drivers door and below the floor of the van. Does anybody know if you can find them "off the shelf" or custom made?

Next time you see an ambulance, find out who manufactured it. The boxes you are looking for were probably custom made for that specific ambulance. They would probably sell you one if you called and asked.

Try PL Custom . The one that is in my ambulance is built into the body and rolls out in a drawer style.

Airguy,

These are custom built by the manufacturer.

You could order one of these from an ambulance manufacturer. They will usually want the unit number of the ambulance, and then they duplicate what was built for that unit.

Wheeled Coach (www.wheeledcoach.com) is the worlds largest ambulance manufacturer. They have pretty good service help than can give you part numbers. You would then have to cut out the side of your van & weld the supports etc into place & do any battery cable changes needed. Send me a pm if you need more help on the ambulance end, I have been in that business for many years.
