Our fleet
Meet the ambulance.
Take a look inside.
Every Tri State EMS ambulance is clean, inspected and equipped for safe, comfortable transport. Drag to look around, open the rear doors and tap a number to see what’s on board.
Equipment
Equipment that does
the heavy lifting.
Our crews use powered patient-handling equipment, so getting from the bed to the ambulance, and up or down the stairs, is smoother, steadier and safer for patients of every size.
Powered stretcher
Stryker Power-PRO XT
A battery-powered hydraulic system raises and lowers the stretcher at the touch of a button, so patients get a smooth, steady lift and our crews never have to strain.
Up to 700 lb capacity
Push-button raise and lower
Bariatric-ready
Powered stair chair
Stairs, without the strain
Motorized tracks carry seated patients up and down stairs at a steady, controlled pace, so walk-ups, split-levels and buildings without elevators are never a barrier.
Powered up and down stairs
Secure patient restraints
Fewer manual carries
Our story
Founded in 2019 by a team with 20+ years in medical transportation. We saw too many patients miss appointments and wait for care simply because they couldn’t get there. So we built the ride we’d want for our own families.
On time, every time
Punctual pickups so you never miss an appointment or treatment.
Modern, equipped fleet
Clean, well-maintained ambulances built for comfort and safety.
Billing made simple
Medicare & Medicaid accepted — we help verify coverage first.
