Ambulances and other emergency vehicles are often fitted with a power inlet. The inlet is used to connect the vehicle to mains power to overcome the constant power draw of radios, mobile data terminals and medical devices when parked.
With eight different types of connector being used across the UK and Europe, there can often be situations where the a shoreline connector is not compatible with the inlet on a vehicle. Made in our UK workshop, our range of adaptors help convert shoreline connectors to fit most vehicles.
Please note that adaptors:
- Do not convert voltage. It is only possible to use 110v inlets with 110v shoreline cables and 230v inlets with 230v supplies.
- Are not available for shorelines with the American NEMA connectors used for Kussmaul Super 15 Auto-eject 110v and 230v. Unfortunately it is not possible to create a connection which is weatherproof and remains together with this type of connectors.
Use the table below to identify the connector on your shoreline cable and the inlet on the vehicle and therefore the adaptor required. Detailed information on the types of connector is provided in our Guide to Ambulance and Emergency Vehicle Connectors.
