First Responders Utilize Kawasaki Mule Side-By-Side Versatility To Get The Job Done

August 2017 Powersport News

Kawasaki MULE side-by-side utility vehicles play an important role for first responders throughout the United States. The durability, size and maneuverability of the MULE side-by-side helps police, fire and emergency medical teams do their jobs on a daily basis.

With a variety of available models, Kawasaki MULE side-by-sides provide first responders the right tool to get the job done.

One visible use of MULE side-by-sides by first responders in the powersports industry is the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit, which travels around the country providing on-site medical services at all AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross events. It has used Kawasaki MULE side-by-sides since 2002 to facilitate patient transportation.

The staff of doctors, paramedics and EMTs relies on a fleet of three MULE side-by-sides to meet the challenging conditions they face on a weekly basis. Together with the full service mobile medical facility, the team travels with two MULE 4010 4x4 diesel models and a Sunbeam Red MULE SX side-by-side. The MULE platforms allow the Alpinestars team to get to downed riders quickly while also being able to navigate obstacles on the course.

“We have been using Kawasaki MULE side-by-sides for more than a decade,” said Tom Carson, Chief of Staff of the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit. “Our fleet of MULE side-by-sides is dependable and gives us the ability to provide consistent medical care at events. Kawasaki has provided the team a great platform to meet the many needs of the environment.”

Medical support at powersports events is just one of the many first responder uses for the Kawasaki MULE side-by-side lineup. In 2016 Kawasaki added Sunbeam Red as a model color to give departments providing a more visible MULE for use by first responders.
