Metro Express BLW90
Type III Ambulance
Ford E-350 / Chevy G3500
144" x 90" x 70"
A reinvigorated, minimalist design that can take on BLS and ALS operations. With a layout inspired by the BL90, the Medix Metro Express BLW90 Type III offers a cost-effective, controlled-option workhorse with the added flexibility of a CPR seat configuration.
Modular Design
Plus powder-coated aluminum cabinet faces in place of cost-prohibitive formed aluminum cabinetry.
Easier to Service
Most replacement parts ship same-day should you encounter an accident.
