At Crestline, we are committed to keeping your ambulance on the road. Remounting is an environmentally responsible and economical solution to extend the life of each unit.
Remounting and refurbishing an existing ambulance extends the life of your unit and can save you anywhere from 20% to 50%, over buying a new unit.

Built with remount-ability in mind
Our ambulance manufacturing process involves mounting the chassis at the end of the production cycle, not at the beginning. This innovation results in a finished ambulance that has fewer hidden components, and time savings in the range of 50%, over traditional mounted ambulance bodies.
Remount packages
While we can customize remount orders according to each customer’s requirements, here are two standard remount packages to help start your ambulance remount project:
STANDARD
The need for major refurbishment is low, this is good for vehicles that are not reliant on the latest technology or already have it installed. It supports a business model that is extending fleet coverage by remounting vehicles in addition to the purchase of new vehicles to build the fleet.
ADVANCED
While the ambulance body is remounted, it is repaired, painted, and the latest technologies and layouts can be retrofitted. This type of remount allows for a lower cost with similar functionality to a new vehicle.
