Engineered for Safety. Proven in the Field.
When it comes to building EMS vehicles, safety isn’t a box we check — it’s part of the foundation. Every Frazer unit is built with structural integrity and occupant protection in mind, and validated through independent, third-party testing. Our vehicles meet or exceed industry safety standards, including those set by SAE, AMD, and FMVSS.
Tested & Verified Independent Crash Testing
Frazer units are tested by certified third-party facilities to evaluate how critical components perform under impact. This includes:
Compliance Standards
Frazer vehicles are built to meet key safety benchmarks:
SAE
Crash testing for seating, structural mounts, and safety hardware
AMD
Ambulance-specific standards for patient compartment safety, electrical systems, and more
FMVSS
Federal guidelines for vehicle components, including chassis and seatbelt systems
No Full-Vehicle Rollover Tests?
Some manufacturers promote dramatic rollover videos. While these may look impressive, full-vehicle rollover testing is not required for certification — and doesn’t necessarily reflect compliance. Frazer focuses on data-driven testing of the systems that matter most to occupant safety.
How We Test
Frazer partners with accredited testing labs that simulate real-world impact conditions. These tests verify that key systems hold up under force and comply with relevant safety standards. For example:
- Mounting systems are tested to ensure modules remain securely attached
- Seating and restraints are evaluated for their ability to protect crew members
- Cabinets and oxygen mounts are tested for retention during sudden impact
This component-specific approach reflects actual safety regulations — and avoids relying on visuals alone.
Real-World Durability
Frazer units have been involved in serious on-road accidents — including high-speed collisions and rollovers. In these real-world scenarios, our vehicles have demonstrated structural durability and continued to protect EMS personnel and patients during and after impact.
“Our unit was hit head-on and rolled. The chassis was totaled, but the module stayed intact — and the crew walked away.”
Amy Y., Former Associate Director, CareFlite
“The truck barrel-rolled over twice. The module held up well and looked surprisingly good.”
Keith M., Former Chief, Gadsden County EMS
“One of our units rolled at least twice. Despite the severity, the Frazer module showed remarkable structural integrity.”
Steve K., Former EMS Director, Tri County EMS
What This Means for You
When you choose a Frazer unit, you’re getting more than a certified design — you’re getting confidence that the structure has been tested for real-world conditions. That means:
- Greater protection for EMS crews and patients
- Lower risk of damage during crashes
- Reduced downtime and repair costs
- Stronger peace of mind for leadership and procurement teams
