Bariatric ambulance
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A bariatric ambulance is an ambulance vehicle modified to carry the severely obese. They have extra-wide interiors, and carry "bariatric stretchers" and specialized lifting gear that is capable of carrying very large patients.[1] They are required as a result of the increasing prevalence of obesity in the general population.[2][3] Currently, there is no standardized weight capacity for bariatric ambulances, and requirements may vary in populations according to epidemiological demand. However, they are typically designed to carry weights between 350 kg[4] (771.6 lbs) and up to at least 450 kg[5] (992 lbs).
