Emergency response vehicles face the most demanding conditions of any passenger transport. They not only need the durability to withstand the high-speed driving and intense movement required to answer emergency calls, but their interiors also need a level of safety and hygiene unlike no other. Altro’s range of vinyl transport safety floors offer the perfect response to the challenges faced by emergency vehicles. Offering sustained slip resistance with an easy to clean, impermeable surface and hard-wearing durability backed up by long guarantees, Altro floors are engineered to perform when people need them most.
Delivering life-saving care in a moving vehicle clearly presents some unique challenges. Healthcare professionals and paramedics have patients’ lives in their hands, so their feet need to be firmly underneath them when loading and unloading patients into the vehicle. Slip resistance in an environment which is at higher risk of contaminants is essential. All our transport floors are engineered to mitigate slip risks to one in a million. This ensures that those operating the vehicles have peace of mind, assured that life-saving work can continue in a safe environment. Choose from Altro Transflor Meta, Altro Transflor Chroma EV or Altro Transflor Artis so your ambulance floor meets the highest levels of slip resistance.
The vulnerability of the human body to physical trauma ensures emergency vehicles are constantly busy. So it’s vital rescue vehicles and those transporting patients are highly resilient. All of our floors are engineered for high durability with abrasive wear in mind – so they can easily stand up to hurried footfall, heavy equipment and stretchers, which have the potential to cause wear damage to floors. Altro Transflor Meta , Altro Transflor Chroma EV and >Altro Transflor Artis are compliant to EN 13845, with less than or equal to ten particles lost per 50,000 cycles. Our floors also retain their slip resistance credentials, maintaining a level that after ten years in use is as good as the day it left the factory.
Specialist medical vehicles are clinical spaces and need to stay hygienic. Vinyl, due to its impervious construction, is inherently hygienic, which means that any bacterial contaminants present on the surface can be easily wiped away. But we’ve now taken cleanability one step further with our new Altro ShieldGrip technology . This intelligent surface prevents deposits of dirt from forming and repels stains to ensure easy cleaning and uncompromised hygiene.
A lightweight vehicle construction for emergency vehicles is important for a multitude of reasons: of course, fuel efficiency is a concern, but with all the PPE and equipment needed on board, payload is precious. Altro offers lightweight flooring solutions for emergency vehicles, without compromising on durability or safety credentials. Altro Transflor Meta, and Altro Transflor Chroma EV represent two of the lightest transport safety floors in the market, while our new Altro Transflor Metris and Altro Transflor Sonis offer a lightweight solution to add additional thermal and acoustic insulation. In an emergency there’s no time to wait so there’s no place for weight in emergency vehicles.
Rapid response vehicles can’t afford to lose time, and neither can those who are building them. With Altro’s suite of installation services interior fitting can be achieved with clinical precision and save valuable time. Our pre-cut floors service delivers your chosen product to the required dimensions of the installation area. These can be quickly and easily fitted into place reducing time, waste and risk. When combined with our self-adhesive floors offer, pre-cut pieces can be fitted even faster. Simply peel, stick, roll, and weld then continue assembly of other components without delay.
