Facility offers turnkey solutions for remounting and refurbishing all
REV ambulance brands
MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
REV Group (REVG), a $2.4 billion manufacturer of industry-leading
specialty vehicle brands and leading provider of parts and services, is
extending the life of ambulances with its REV Remount Center, a 200,000
sq. ft. facility offering full remount, painting and interior
refurbishing services. Located in Jefferson, NC, the REV Remount Center
is a first of its kind facility to offer a full-service center under one
roof, dedicated to providing customers these services.
“REV Group has made a major investment in time, money and staffing to
create a state of the art, one-stop shop for maintenance in the
ambulance industry,” said Robert Collins, President, REV Ambulance
Group. “On average, an ambulance chassis will last 150,000 to 175,000
miles while the box and interior typically have a much longer life, so
remounting offers a major cost savings over purchasing a new ambulance.
We offer ambulance operators a cost effective way to extend the life of
their vehicles.”
The REV Remount Center not only features dedicated production space to
the remounting operation, but also space allotted to a state of the art
painting and preparation operation. The facility includes multiple down
draft paint booths, dedicated body preparation stations equipped with
new generation triple air filtration systems for improved overall finish
quality, as well as providing enhanced protection of the environment.
Ambulance bodies can get media blasted in known corrosion areas,
including body crevices to provide customers the highest quality paint
finish. This facility space includes sub-assembly operations for HVAC,
electrical systems/wire harness, lighting, upholstery, cabinetry and
other assembly services. Additional space is provided for engineering
services, inventory and administration.
The facility is currently set up to service the following REV and
competitor brands:
-
American Emergency Vehicles (REV)
-
Wheeled Coach (REV)
-
Road Rescue (REV)
-
Horton (REV)
-
McCoy Miller (REV)
-
Marque (REV)
-
Frontline (REV)
-
Medtec
Providing unmatched customer value, all work is performed by a REV team
trained to the same production standards that are consistent with a new
REV ambulance. OEM chassis guidelines, such as Ford’s QVM Program are
followed to ensure a customer’s satisfaction with these services.
