If seen a few ambulances around Massachusetts, typically private services w/ similar lifts, used for extremely obese (bariatric) patients. More comfortable, secure feeling for the patient when they are being lifted, and alot safer for EMS/FD crews as opposed to wrestling all that weight into a bus.
