Wheeled Coach and Road Rescue Invest in New Paint System at Orlando (FL) Manufacturing Facility

Wheeled Coach® and Road Rescue®, both brands of REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc., a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc., and premier manufacturers of emergency vehicles for municipal and commercial EMS providers, have invested in a new paint system. The plural component system precisely controls the mixing and application of the paint products for even higher quality and consistency.

The new paint system was developed by industry leader, Graco®, and utilizes its ProMix PD2K® system, which offers 100% Positive Displacement Technology for accurate mix ratios and consistent performance.  It was installed at the manufacturing facility in Winter Park, Florida, the home of Wheeled Coach and Road Rescue ambulances. The system monitors the ratio of protective coatings and paint. It also controls the application via air pressure and fluid rate regulation of the materials onto the ambulances. In addition to a more supreme final product, the benefits also include waste and hazardous materials reduction because of the precision of the system.

“The investment in the new paint system is part of a broader, ongoing program to further enhance our Orlando facilities, equipment, processes, and customer experiences”, said Erik Stoor, Vice President and General Manager, of REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc. “We are stewards of the iconic Wheeled Coach and Road Rescue brands and focused on the long-term success of our customers and dealers.”
