Secure Cells and PTS’ for SVS
At Stanford Coachworks it is incredibly important to us that we offer all of our clients a completely personalised service which helps us build a trusting working relationship. One of our long-term clients, Specialist Vehicle Sales and Hire, has been returning to Stanford Coachworks for the past 25 years and during this time we have completed conversions on a number of bespoke vehicles with customised specifications, well-trusted by their clients.
Specialist Vehicle Sales and Hire (SVS) are a professional family-run business who focus on providing a variety of medical service vehicles and specific ambulance services to a range of NHS, private medical and individual organisations. With an ever-expanding fleet, SVS are committed to offering the latest innovative vehicles to their clients - that’s where we come in to assist!
This month, we completed conversions on two secure cell Renault Masters and a brand-new PTS ambulance. With each conversion, we work closely with SVS to update their specification, where required, using feedback from those who actually use the vehicles.
Secure Cell Conversions
Our secure cell conversions are designed to specifically transport high-risk mental health patients who could pose potential danger to themselves or others. During the design process, we utilise SVS’ 70-years of industry knowledge to supply a vehicle which provides an appropriate level of protection and care according to degree of threat.
Both of SVS’ new cells are based on MM35 dci Renault Masters and feature a split rear saloon configuration. The front half of the vehicle is lined entirely with a hard-wearing wipe clean material and includes a combination of five forward and rearward facing passenger seats. In the rear half of the vehicle, we have installed a secure cell unit which can safely facilitate one patient.
