M1010 1 1/4 ton 4x4* 

Truck, Ambulance, 1¼ Ton, 4x4, M1010

The M1010 truck, ambulance, is a diesel-powered vehicle equipped with power steering and brakes and automatic transmission. 

It can accommodate up to four litter or eight ambulatory patients, or a combination of each. 

The vehicle has a patient assist boom, and block and tackle for loading. An improved patient life support capability is provided by four additional focus-type lights, air conditioning, optional GPFU for NBC protection, and supplemental electrical power to operate the life support equipment. The M1010 also has additional storage space between the litter berths and vehicle cab. 

The loading sequence is:

  • Upper right
  • Lower right
  • Upper left
  • Lower left

In an emergency or mass casualty situation, one additional litter can be placed in the center aisle.

The most seriously injured is always the last to be loaded and the first to be unloaded. This means that when you open the back, the most seriously injured will always be in the lower left rack.
