Emergency vehicle shoreline/charging leads use a wide range of different sockets. Use the table below to identify the vehicle inlet that you have, and the corresponding shoreline socket that you require to make the connection.
Further guidance on ambulance and other emergency vehicle electrical inlets can be found here.
Please note that we only stock the exact socket make/model recommended by each shoreline connector manufacturer. Whilst cheaper alternatives are available, they are unlikely to be robust enough to withstand repeated auto-ejection (see guide for explanation of the auto-ejection feature).
N.B. When used outside or where they may be exposed to water, the separate rubber boot is required for Kussmaul Super 15 Auto-eject 110v and 230v sockets.
