Posted on by Braun Ambulances

Representatives from Braun Industries and their dealer network will be in attendance for the exhibition April 11-13, 2019. They will be bringing four custom ambulances to display in Booth #4639, along with another completed ambulance for the GM booth.

“FDIC is the largest show we attend annually, and one of the most important for us,” says Chad Brown, Braun Industries’ VP of Sales and Marketing. “The size of the exhibition, quality of courses offered, and centralized geographic location make it the chief event for Fire & Rescue professionals to attend. We get a lot of booth visitors, helping us connect with customers old and new, as well as prospective customers. We make it a point to bring unique layouts with innovative features to display the full range of Braun’s capabilities as the premier ambulance manufacturer. This year, we have an incredible lineup of ambulances and dealer representatives attending. We are also very excited to be located directly next to our partner, Demers Ambulances.”

The Ohio ambulance manufacturer will have representatives from Braun direct and their dealer partners in attendance. Braun’s VP of Sales and Marketing, Chad Brown, as well as Regional Sales Managers, Jason Adair and Jarrett Hammons, will be in Braun’s booth. Braun’s dealer partners include representatives from Penn Care, Kodiak Emergency Vehicles, Spartan Fire & Emergency Apparatus, Ten-8 Fire Equipment, Hughes Fire Equipment, North Eastern Rescue Vehicles, Bulldog Fire & Emergency Apparatus, Autotronics, RedSky Emergency Vehicles, Emergency Equipment Professionals, First Priority Group, and Nexus Emergency Group.

Braun Ambulances will be in Booth #4639 in the Indiana Convention Center. There, they will have five ambulance units on display. A fifth completed unit will be inside General Motors Fleet’s booth in space #3839.

Two of the Braun display units will be demo ambulances from the manufacturer. Truck #7985 is a Chief XL Type 1 ambulance on an International CV chassis. The exterior of the unit includes a Brigade 360 camera system, edge mount sound off lights, rear chevron lights, Gatorhyde kick plate, rub rails with Whelen strip lights, and Whelen Ion duo intersection lights for extreme visibility. Inside the module are Valor seats, a curbside and streetside Vista Screen, Pro Air 110/120V Heat/AC system, and a Franklin digital clock. The interior cabinet lighting is ridgeback blue LED, and ceiling strip lights change from red to amber on braking and turning. Truck #7986 is a Liberty; this is the first unit being produced on the brand-new Chevy Silverado extended cab chassis. The demo features a LiquidSpring suspension, EZ 02 lift, Pro Air AC with rear headpad air curtain, and more. Inside, attendees will see custom contoured EVS seat backs with the Braun logo, blue/white dome lights, rear door glove holders, and other Braun innovations. Both demo ambulances are available for purchase, along with other in-stock units from the manufacturer.

Homer Fire Department in Homer, Ohio is graciously allowing their Liberty Type 1 ambulance to be displayed. Built on a Ford F550 4×4 extended cab, the exterior features a Federal Mechanical Q siren, wrecker style front bumper, EZ 02 Lift, and electric tint rear windows. The module contains Valor seats, Sigtronics headsets, a Medi-Kool drug storage cabinet, and a cabinet stack at the head of the squad bench.

The last ambulance on display in Braun’s booth is from Tampa Fire Rescue in Tampa, Florida. The Super Chief Type 1 ambulance is built on a Freightliner M2. Unique features of this unit include a sound deadening package, ceramic thermal coating, ultraviolet air purification system, and EVS Hi-Bac Integral Child seat with swivel base. With over 73” of interior headroom and LiquidSpring suspension, the ambulance will provide an exceptional ride for occupants.

Meridian Township Fire Department in Okemos, Michigan will show off their Braun Chief XL Type 3 ambulance in the General Motors Fleet Booth (#3839). This ambulance features a G4500 chassis with custom console, along with recessed rear-view camera, interior motion sensor, EVS seating and pads, Hoseline 454 A/C system, and 64” and 86” grab rails. It also has an OTE cabinet and Lucas device storage in the front wall.

High school senior designs new worktable for Braun Ambulances

Posted on by Braun Ambulances

At Braun Ambulances, we’re always looking for innovations that can help improve our processes. It’s not always about working harder – it’s about working smarter. With the help of 18-year-old Troy Weaks, we’re creating new ways to do just that!

Troy is a high school senior at Van Wert City Schools and has always had an interest in engineering and art. Troy participates in a program through the school system called the Career Education Opportunity (CEO) program, which matches participating students with employers that offer internship opportunities. Each day, these students spend time at their internships before returning to school. Because of Troy’s interest in engineering and the STEM classes he had taken at school, the program’s coordinator thought he would be the perfect match for Braun.

He was right! Troy works at Braun for 80 minutes every day, reporting to Kevin Cassidy, our facilities manager. Troy has been working on creating a worktable that will allow our production workers to assemble and test our E-Z O2 lifts more easily. Troy’s worktable will improve workplace safety and decrease production time! Troy’s worktable design should be produced by the end of January.

Thanks to his time at Braun, Troy has decided to pursue a degree in industrial engineering. We can’t wait to see what else he comes up with!

Manuevering Wintery Conditions with 4×4 Ambulances

Posted on by Braun Ambulances

Four-wheel drive is beneficial in a variety of cases – snow, ice, mud, gravel, off-road, and slippery hills; it allows your ambulance to maneuver tough situations with increased safety and reliability. 4×4 ambulances are crucial in areas of the country that receive a lot of snow because they ensure that your department can respond efficiently, even in dangerous Winter conditions.

4×4 ambulances don’t cost that much more than other ambulances. They can save your department time and money with their ability to get first responders to the scene quickly and safely, no matter what kind of terrain you’re dealing with. They also reduce strain on the ambulance by spreading the force out to all four wheels as opposed to two wheels. While 4×4 ambulances don’t necessarily help you stop in the snow, they do help you drive safely in low-traction situations. 

For more information on why 4×4 ambulances are great options for departments in rough terrain, contact us today!

The Braun Express Plus Is A Great Type I Ambulance Option

Posted on by Braun Ambulances

Braun’s Express Plus Type I Ambulance is the best little “bus” in the business, offering a fully customizable unit with our standard features to ensure you have the safest type I ambulance on the road.

The Express Plus Type I ambulance can be built on a Ford F350 or Ram 4500 chassis and includes Braun’s standard features such as all aluminum welded interior cabinets with rounded corners, high performance heat/ac system, extensive interior and exterior storage, and spray foam insulation. This Type I ambulance module offers 72-inches of headroom, Braun’s SolidBody ™ Construction, EZ Glide™ sliding door, and complete customization – if there’s feature you want, we’ll make it happen!

The Express Plus Type I ambulance module starts out on a F350 with leaf springs, but as the customer customizes their unit(s), they can choose to move up to a F450 and add LiquidSpring suspension; the multi-chassis platform allows this type I ambulance to serve as a blank sheet for customers. The customer can choose a heavier-duty chassis or features like Braun’s MasterTech FleetConnect™, while taking advantage of a smaller type I ambulance module that is sure to fit in smaller spaces (including smaller bays.)

This type I ambulance is an ideal fit for both private and municipal departments who are looking for a unit with a lower price point without missing out on any of the innovations from Braun.

Express Plus Type I Ambulances Here are some examples from real customers that have purchased an Express Plus Type I Ambulance:
