Shoals Ambulance Adds New Transafe Ramp to Emergency Vehicles

Shoals Ambulance has added a Transafe ramp to all of their ambulances in Lauderdale County. The ramp is designed to accommodate patients over 350 pounds. According to a press release sent out by Shoals Ambulance, the ramp attaches to the outside portion of the ambulance and uses a motorized track to move the patient into an ambulance once they are on a stretcher.

Shoals Ambulance said the new device makes it safer and easier to move an overweight patient. It also reduces the risk of EMTs and paramedics getting injured.
