Developed exclusively for Crestline by industry leading component manufacturers, the new CrestRide System is a unique hybrid air-over-leaf suspension that offers:

Reduced Stretcher Load Height - the reduced stretcher load height on Chevy chassis ambulances makes loading and unloading the patient easier and reduces the risk of medic back injuries.

Improved Ride Comfort - the new CrestRide System provides a significant improvement in patient and medic ride comfort.

Improved Handling - the tuned dampers and air springs, as well as the constant vehicle height, greatly improve handling characteristics. Drivers will also get less wheel hop during hard braking and less shudder during acceleration.

Reduces Driver Fatigure - the air spring suspension reduces cab noise and road vibrations. The harsh, choppy ride of the factory leaf suspension is largely eliminated.

Meets all CMVSS and FMVSS Compliances

Interest in Crestline ambulances is growing throughout Québec, and a number other EMS providers are already recognizing the benefits of our product.

Crestline’s rigorous testing and certification program ensures that our manufactured products typically far exceed industry standards for safety and operational performance. In addition to BNQ, our certifications include ambulance models compliant with the Ontario Ministry of Health, the Manitoba and BC governments, as well as U.S. KKK specifications. With more than 30 years of manufacturing success, our dedicated team of professionals work diligently to develop effective and efficient designs, processes, materials and customer service, which ultimately means that we are able to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

We are dedicated to providing a product that reaches far beyond your immediate needs, and believe that incorporating strengths of different certification standards into our ambulance designs not only allows us to serve specific regions, but also enhances the quality of our product as a whole. The designs and materials used to achieve higher standards for any of our vehicles will be incorporated into all of our models wherever possible, greatly increasing the safety and durability of our vehicles in a host of strenuous circumstances.

The Type III FleetMax QC is equipped with safety features and industry innovations such as the AeroBody and the “O2 to Go” system, now available in the province of Quebec. Built on a Ford chassis, it features an all aluminum aerodynamic body with a fully integrated roll cage. This vehicle provides a unique balance of comfort, cost effectiveness, ample storage and working space with notable versatility and reliability.

Established in 1975, Crestline Coach Ltd. manufactures ambulances with world class safety and innovation at the heart of our product. We are also Canada’s only nation-wide distributor of small and mid-sized commercial buses, with corporate head office and manufacturing facilities located in Saskatoon, SK.
