Crestline Prototype Ambulance Walkthrough ⎮CCL150⎮
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 07. 2024
- A couple weeks ago I had the unique opportunity to travel to Canada to tour the Crestline Coach manufacturing plant and get a sneak peak at the new CCL150 which is a prototype ambulance built by Crestline.
Full disclosure, Crestline payed me to come and tour the CCL150 but all opinions expressed are my own.
And those are the quirks and features of 2020 crestline prototype ambulance. Now it's time to get it out on the road and see how it drives.
@PacoTaco0404040 oh no!
What's the doug score of this ambulance???
Doge
Peak Doug DeMuro joke
Nice! Can't wait for my next heart attack so I can try out one of these!
12:38 Driver intention indicators, that's a great idea.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Wow
the simplicity of the o2 tank and the transfer system is outstanding.
Thank you for your feedback!
If only our Type I’s had it.
I worked as an EMT in the late 90's till the early 2000's and this was cool to look at.It is nice to see the changes to the bus design. Somethings I laughed at like the harnesses because where I worked those things would never be used.
Chris Ryan Haha same here, the time to put them on, take them off would not be worth it! Maybe if a relative is tagging along but I would never imagine myself hooking in 4 different points!
I really wish they would have room up front for backpacks or bags and whatnot. I work for a city service that is system status so it's not like we have a base to keep our stuff at and I definitely don't want my lunchbox or bag back with the patients
*SOME PPL MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND, SO LET ME HELP OUT OUR AWESOME HOST....PREPMEDIC* He mentions wind noise a good number of times, yes wind noise is just annoying, but add in that you must ride in that apparatus for 8-12 hrs(maybe up to 48hr straight) shift, you have a killer migraine & your boy/girl friend just dumped you thru a text mess.....SHIT!!!! now that wind noise is like sitting outside during a tornado w/150mph winds!!! OK, that be a bit much, but its true to the point that wind noise can be frustrating especially on bad days when your trying to help or save a persons life.....AWESOME VID PREPMEDIC!!! STAY SAFE BRO.
Bill Blast yep! Road and wind noise can also make communicating with driver/patient/relative hard, especially with all the pumps etc. on.
I know this is weird, but I have a Crestline as a company vehicle lol, but it is retired as an ambulance, I use it as a service vehicle on an air force base, I was given the opportunity to choose a vehicle for myself, and I went with one of these, it works perfectly, it's so easy to keep clean, organized and I just love it.
I just wanted to say thank you for your vids. They were a contributing factor in my decision to go get my EMT-B. I just finished my class and I'm doing my first ride along Saturday. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I'm in love. Crestline and their parent company Demers are really the only two options here in central/western Canada. I've worked on both and they both have features I really like, but this seems to have sort of combined what I like from both brands. Can't wait until I start seeing them around here!
Demers just bought Crestline last year...
Been here a while but still have to say your channel is awesome as hell. Getting into EMS partly due to you and you helped me pass EMT school.
Same here
This was a great tour! You showed us the whole layout of the Ambo, switches, cabinets, and more. Very much appreciated! Please do this for all rigs. Subscribed.
I wish we had a truck like this! Very well thought out.
Thank you for your feedback!
Riggs never have a good place for you to put your personal items like your back pack and some lunch.
Knees and lunchboxes everywhere hate the E series.
*Ambulance need a mini fridge for snacks and lunches.*
My lunch is the pt's vomit, that way I don't need to get out the suction unit
Off.. Paramedics don't get breaks, therefore you don't need to carry a lunch.
My rig has a mini fridge and i will never trade it for anything ever
Crestline is thinking ahead on a lot of areas in the emergency vehicles. Seems very heavy duty, and well thought out. I can only imagine the improvement they have made since you did this review. Great video.
That remote electrical sounds like a security nightmare.
Remote diagnosis actually makes any troubleshooting or service EASIER
@@JohnScullin Yes - but that is not what Rumble Frog said...
Hackable ambulances are: "a security nightmare".
I thought that too. I'm sure it won't take long for hackers to get to it.
@@BobSmith1980. Maybe, but I doubt hackers would care.
@@SirFrag32 often hackers try to hack stuff just to see if they can
That was great. Hope you enjoyed visiting us in Canada! 🇨🇦
Nice tour, thanks for this opportunity to review what they can offer.
Thank you for your feedback!
Fancy
If I win the lottery I'll buy a bunch and give them out 😎
Awesome job... They need to use this for their instructional overview in their sales .. very thorough.
Thank you for your feedback!
LOVE THIS CHANNEL
We just got some very similar to this one and let me tell you the cot in the middle is life changing! It’s so easy to get to any part of the patient and there is so much more space!
Welcome to 2004!!!!
Thanks Sam, nice well thought out rig.
Well darn. If I’d known you were up north here I woulda bought ya a timmies eh. But seriously, keep up the amazing work, really enjoy the content.
Looks a lot like the rigs we have coming into my division. Only thing it doesn’t specifically have is a camera in the pt compartment, I find those useful to keep an eye on how my partner and pt are doing on the long distance psych transfers that we so often get.
Thank you for your feedback!
Some of our ambulances where I work have the same wheel base as our fire engines. The long ambulances are nice for space but not as fun to drive. We also have SCBA on our ambulances because personnel from the first due ambulance (often three firefighter/ EMS providers) will augment the crew of the first due engine on fire calls because we often only have 8 units staffed. Furthermore we have a compartment for water rescue equipment due to our location.
Thank you for your feedback and stay tuned for more exciting news in 2020.
Thank you Sam for your great video.
You should tell stories about your job.
Anecdote of your shifts.
Necromante Errante name - Ambulance Anecdotes
Necromante Errante name - Ambulance Anecdotes
Necromante Errante My coolest was a ride along. My crew had just dropped off a patient involved in a dirt bike crash. On our way back I heard something about a decapitation of a limb. I was intrigued and they told me it would be gruesome. I said let's go, we got there and the arm was only hanging on by veins. We airlifted him out of there and I got a ride back to the station. Finally got home at around midnight but was supposed to be home by 8pm.
its 1 am and ive just watched an infomercial for an ambulace XD
Yup me to 1:44 there is nothing prototype about it.
Hey man, we've all been there, it's late at night, you're still stressed about that one embarrassing moment from twelve years ago and you watch ambulance infomercials to take the pain away.
@@redbarond1 hahaha
Awesome, detailed video
That’s a great review! Good job 👏... looks like a great bus! Love how u can adjust the temp of the box from the front!! One thing that I don’t like about it is the angle that the siren control is mounted... looks like it would be uncomfortable wether u r driving or not...
Yeah it would probably be better for the switches and functions to be mounted horizontally instead of vertically huh
Awesome to see you in Saskatoon at Crestline. I spent time there doing training. Hello Rina H.
Nice new 🚑 set up. Love sum of the new teachers driver the president in Decatur IV bag change
Great video very interesting.
I always wonder why Medix and Leader ambulances never have enough cup holders and somewhere to put our personal items. Like you guys do know we do average of 12-24 hour shift right?
omar delatorre Yes!! This is one of the big annoyances with those types.
How many cup holders do you need
All it has to do is hold one circle k xl poler pop
@@paulmatakovich9096 Kinda like ammunition, always one more.
WOW!! you should get into sales for Crestline haha, excellent video, looking forward to more
Nothing about an ambulance is aerodynamic
Not this style anyway
Or prototype
Australia’s ones are, lol.
The Mercedes sprinters are probably the most aerodynamic ambulances I've personally worked around.
It's all relative
I'm no expert on it by any means, but that is one nice ambulance. Plus it's made from E-Series so 👌. On another note, I understand the utility focus, and I've also never driven one, but I think for the long durations of ambulance crew missions, the (Going from my E-Series experience) van should be XLT instead of TT/XL. It would add more comforts for the front crew of the vehicle. Regardless, I've always loved ambulances and that certain feeling of life and hope they radiate as they speed down roads blaring their sirens.
Great's videos and beautiful ambulance !!!
Raul Brazil Emergency Driver
Very cool
Welcome to canada
I wish they would make the driver seat more comfortable by adding air to it and maybe add a little refrigerator and hot plate. These little things would make the corner posted rigs so much better.
The ccl150 as bin done in conjonction with Demers Ambulances. You guys should ask Demers for a visit of there factory and a showcase of there ambulances.
Wow that’s interesting
I would like some more information on your electrical system. Currently work for a large EMS system in NC and we are in the process of a complete redesign of ambulances. Anything we can do to cut down time and ease and simplicity of issues is great.
Nice!
Thank you for your feedback!
Wow, a rig from 2009, impressive.
This is the win
Saskatoon he’ll yeah!! Martensville local!
you skipped the most important part being the engine all that stuff is great but the engine is the heart of the entire machine
Always interesting to see how you guy’s set up your ambulances!🚑
But I wouldn’t want to change units with you! 🙈😄
I love ours here in Germany.🤷🏻♂️
If anybody is interested to see the general layout in our rigs I’ve found a couple of pictures online. ⬇️
Would love to see different set ups as well, so if you have some pictures feel free to link them down below.😊
EDIT forgot a question!
Do you guys have a ventilator on board?
I haven’t seen a dedicated place for one.

Was sind denn deiner Meinung nach die Vorteile der Deutschen RTWen?
artur Ich finde unsere RTWS (kann nur für SH sprechen) deutlich organisierter als die meisten rigs der Amerikaner.
Ich sehe den Sinn z.B nicht so viel Platz für eine lange Sitzbank zu “verschwenden”.
Auch wirkt der Aufbau oft Mals nicht so ergonomisch für den Anwender.
Ich muss aber sagen der RTW hat so einige kleine Details die mir wirklich gut gefallen!
Wie z.B die O2 Flaschen Lösung finde ich genial
Würdest du lieber ein Amerikanisches Layout haben?
@@MCplicki Schwer zu sagen; Ist natürlich Geschmackssache. Die Organisation ist in der Tat etwas schlechter; dafür ist die Bestückung zT hochwertiger (LUCAS, bessere Traumaversorgung). Einige Ideen, wie die Gurte order Lärmisolierung sind aber ziemlich gut. Ich bin übrigens in Luxemburg aktiv (RTWs nach DIN); da sind die O2 -Flaschen sehr niedrig eingebaut.
@@artur4390 naja, was deine Organisation an Ausrüstung auf das Auto packt, hängt ja nicht vom Fahrzeug-/Aufbauhersteller ab.
@@vollelektrolysierer5773 Hab ich das behauptet?
Well... I am not a paramedic.. but if I was. I'd want the CCL150 Crestline Prototype Ambulance.
Thank you for your feedback!
Stop by Caronport on your way out. We don't have much to show off but we try our best
Any plans for videos at your new job sam? Hope to see your new equipment
Shame we can never get anything like this in the UK, all ours are pretty much standard and at times not fit for purpose, as we are going away from box vehicles and going to van conversions. The simplicity that is incorporated into the vehicle is amazing but has, from what I can see, took staff into account and the types of incidents we go to is amazing.
16:42 -- My company has a few of these ambulances, and you can keep the backup camera on at all times, which MASSIVELY improves all-round visibility.
And In the Netherlands we have Sprinter 2019 :( Stupid uncomfortable Ambulances they’re just Vans... this one is a truly good ambulance!
Hi ! Nice review !
The first box unit I ever saw had no cover over the rear tire under the bench. You lift the bench and you could see the tires under it. Things sure have changed a lot in the last 40 some odd years.👆
Super
nice looking rig. it does look kinda small. is this the only model that you did a tour of or will there be a new video soon of a different rig?
Thank you for your feedback!
Top mesmo essa unidade UTI, a montadora está de parabéns pelo desempenho q estão fazendo com essas unidades UTI, aqui no Brasil seria muito bom se tivesse , trabalho nessa área de unidade móvel de UTI a 20 anos gostaria muito de conhecer essa equipe fora do Brasil, parabéns pra toda equipe de paramédico
I dont fallow that close but started because i saw you were from Ames. Sorry to see your not there anymore.
Is there space in the cab for 2-3 radio holders, and/or department radio units? Such as a speaker mic, and the dispatch radio?
Yes! Several consoles are available.
@@JohnScullin Awesome! I'll inform my department, we are due for a new bus.
Yes. Please contact a Dealer in your area for options and pricing CCL150.com
@@CrestlineCoach Thank you!
Prep Medic, you are awesome! 13, and your channel is the best on CZcams!
Where's the provisions for the two way radio ? When I did radio installs, shiny brand new ambulances always lacked a way to put the radio in, running the rear control head cable then dealing with the NMO mounts in the roof. Hopefully you guys have provisions for these things.
Thank you for your feedback and question! The CCL150 is prewired to four different locations on the roof for radio antennas. For information and options, please contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com
Leg room for driver and Officers seat? How far back can you recline the front seats? I currently work 12 + hour shifts in a system that posts units, so no stations. Leg room and the ability to stretch out is a health and safety issue for us.
Thanks for your question and feedback. Both driver and passenger seats are recessed 6 inches into the body, which allow for recline and legroom options. For more information, contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com
Generally, it looks really nice. I’m just upset that manufacturers aren’t increasing cab room. It sucks to work system status and not have enough room to truly relax.
Maybe system status needs to go...
System Status needed to go decades ago.
Thanks for your feedback! Both driver and passenger seats are recessed 6 inches into the body, which allow for recline and legroom options. For more information, contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com
CPR harness? A lot of our units went back to The thumper style units for compression. A lot of wasted space plus shaded GLASS instead of plexiglass. The sprinters are mostly used in this area for basic transport. We also hate the Battenburg stripes, they blend in way too much with the led lights since most local companies and fire service have done away with light bars.
As long as it’s not one of those god awful vanbulances 😂
Those things are horrible lol, type 2 ambulances are a joke, the ford transit seems to do ok but I still wouldn't want one of those Van's to show up at my house in an emergency lol
Leroy Jenkins some are alright, the large Mercedes ones are easily big enough, but I wouldn’t want a small ford as my ambo tho haha.
My fleet is nothing but older and newer ford vanbulances and it’s rough in the older ones being 6’2”
The mercs are awesome
People who deride trauma twinkies (type 2's) have never used one in a busy city or had to go seriously off-road on jeep trails. I've put my RWD ford E350 twinkie in places in the mountains that the type 1 4x4's the FD uses couldn't get. And threading them through traffic is amazing.
I love my type 1's and 3's (medium duty's are objectively stupid unless your rig also DESPERATELY needs a hydraulic system for rescue gear) but there are certain situations where a twinkie is just untouchable.
Have you seen the new ford transit ambulances? I'd be curious of your opinion on them.
I noticed that the rig was missing a part which's the safety net that mounts from the ceiling to the floor on the side of the bench.
Does it have 4-wheel drive? Where do the radios and other communications gear go?
Thank you for your questions: Type III is not 4-wheel drive unfortunately, please stay tuned for exciting news in 2020. Radios and communications gear are prewired in the drivers console. For more information, please contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com
I've heard of Crestline, but never seen any in the US. Might be a Canadian truck body builder.
Hi Paramedics i like your video - life saving is for strong profesionals service with blood & pain - thank you - be cool - take care -
LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A PRETTY BOY AMBULANCE WAITIN TO SIT ON A CORNER WAITIN FOR THE REST OF HIS GANG TO SHOW UP
👍👍
Thank you for your feedback!
Your Videos are Excessively Zoomed Brother. It will be more beautiful and more comfortable if it is zoomed little less.
Thank You brother, it's nice and so modern.
29yrs as a medic & 4yrs as an EMT before that & I didn’t see anything that was earth shacking. Actually the last earth shacking thing I saw was when we went to strobe lights around 1988.
I like our EMS buddies Frazier ambos, I prefer driving my tower-ladder.
Where are the radios kept in the driver compartment?
I like sire speakers to be mounted on the bumper rather behind the grill
Was that up in the headquarters in Saskatoon ?
Yes Terry. All made front raw aluminum, painted, assembled, mounted on the chassis, commissioned and shipped from Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada
@@gordonmclean1711 Terry? Who the hell is Terry!?
How did I get here but since i use to be obsessed with emergency vehicles. in 2006
IT's always very interessing to see ambulances from other parts of the world.
In the US the ambulances are normally bigger than in Europe.
In Scandinavia the ambulances are normally very small compared to this one. They've got very lint distances too but small and narrow Streets.
What's the weight of this ambulance when it's fully loaded?
Im from Luxemburg, our ambulances are similar but still smaller; their weight is 5.3 tons
@@artur4390
I'm from Germany. Our actual Emergency Care Ambulances are 4900 kg. Ambulances from other Companys are up to 5.8 tons.
Our mobile ICU is 10 tons. But that's because we wanted much room inside that was not possible with lighter vehicles
@@manuelschmidt1081 In bavaria they got some that weigh 12 tons der-autotester.de/iveco-eurocargo-als-intensivtransportwagen-itw-des-roten-kreuzes-in-bayern/
welcome in france, we use profiled van, under 3.5 tons
very narrow, very small.

Thank you for your feedback! The weight of your ambulance depends on how its outfitted. Please contact a Dealer in your area for options and pricing. CCL150.com
This set up is what we had 20-30 years ago with out F-250 ambulances. Crestline really needs to look at how we have our Sprinters laid out in Australia. Not wanting to write an "ours are better than yours" sort of comment. Just would like to see our North American cousins work in vehicles designed by EMS staff FOR EMS staff. The ergonomics in this needs huge improvements. Many thanks for the time and effort to make and upload.
Only one large O2 cylinder? I'm used to have 2 large ones and 1 small as a reserve on ALS units (saw the other ones later in the video now; Strange to have them in the side door) The electrical cabinet seems huge, I mean really huge. Maybe ours seems smaller as a part of it is in the patient compartment and another part is behind the driver and co-driver's seats
Like the dual access compartment on the right side; Don't have that at the provider I work for right now, but the one where I was trained, they had a dual access compartment there as well.
CPR seat? Do they do manual CPR during the ride and don't use e.g. a Lucas?
We have the IV hooks under a cover in the center roof console, with straps holding them in place; They shakre around during the ride but they are secured.
One thing I really don't like which seems to be common on American ambulances: the stretcher located directly on the bottom. Imagine an uneven road and a patient with spine injuries ...
Every ambulance I've been on has them on the side like that
@@whiteboysixty5 what do you mean by "them"? O2 cylinders, electronics compartment, ...
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos same here, that side compartment looked big enough for two and maybe even a couple smaller ones as back up for field/long distance carry.
Options are available for two O2 cylinders or 1 O2 and 1 medical air. Reserve O 2 can be mounted on the door or just in front of the attendant seat on the street side ALS cabinet. More info on the website ccl150.com/
Thanks for your feedback! The CCL150 has the option for dual O2 cylinders. Please contact a Dealer in your area for options and pricing CCL150.com.
Are you going to buy one and use it as your daily driver? 🙂
@PrepMedic what's revolutionary about this bls transport vehicle that makes it a Prototype I feel like this was a clickbait paid advertisement. You definitely lowered your self in my books and this is my first video with you.
Well 1. It is a prototype..... sorry if you were watching to see a flying bat mobile or something.... items like the remote diagnostic electrical system, powder coating, and noise dampening are all items not found in many rigs on the road.
2. It isn’t a BLS or ALS transport rig. It is an empty shell.
3. Yes, I got paid to make the video which is disclosed fully in the description
@prepmedic, are you Canadian?
Do american ambulances not have an heatet infusion compartment?
is a Great Size after Read the Comments. I personal think an extra Height and Width Box Height Add 5 Inch and Width Add 6 to 9 Inch Or Less Outter Storage space (- 3 Inch) each size Left and Right Side create more inside Room in the Box for ambulance Worker.

CCL 150 Ambulances are available in Spring 2020 in the U.S. marketplace - CCL150.com
Nice!! Whats the cost of this ambulance?
A more than reasonable price! If you are interested use the website to get in touch with your local dealer ccl150.com/
Prices vary based on options selected - to contact a Dealer in your area, please visit our website www.ccl150.com
What is the budgetary price for this rig??
"Lifetime warranty"? Whose lifetime? Oh, yes, it's the same as every other such promise. When it (whatever part) fails it's passed it's lifetime, says the manufacturer.
The warranty will specify a "lifetime" period. I'd think a vehicle would be 10-15 years. What "Lifetime" means is that the paint doesn't expire before the rest of the rig. For example, 15 year powertrain warranty, but only 5 years on paint. Something like that.
Crestline ambulances has a proprietary powder coat paint called CrestCoat. Because of its proven durability, Crestline stands by its LifeTime Paint Warranty meaning lifetime of the vehicle. For more information contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com
Ok, I buy one.
How did you like Saskatoon? Do anything interesting?
Always and Always go with Ford. They are more dependable
As long as it has good A/C im good
