Cabinetry
Using the latest in CNC technology, each interior cabinet is programmed and cut to .001" accuracy. This ensures each panel will fit together flawlessly with minimal waste of materials. Each panel is then assembled using glue as well as metal fasteners, giving each cabinet the strength to withstand years of use and abuse. Leader uses only premium wood cores in our laminated panels. This insures no unsightly and more importantly, no weak spots in your cabinets and flooring! Many of the aluminum extrusions used in the construction of or cabinets is from dies of our own design. Rather than adapt a "bathroom" molding to your ambulance needs Leader chose many years ago to produce molding to meet our needs. In many areas the "molding" is not only cosmetic but it is a substantial structural component of the cabinet. Door and drawer locks used at Leader are standards of the industry and Leader is constantly pushing our suppliers to better themselves so we can improve on your older Leader vehicles.
Eletrical
Leader uses a time tested and proven system made up of long life relays, circuit breakers, and toggle switches. By using this type of system we are able to provide you with the most reliable electrical system available. All of the wiring is automotive grade over rated for the circuit requirements and then wrapped in sturdy heat and wear resistant conduit. All of Leaders wire harnesses are made in-house to insure the quality and reliability. In the assembly process all crimp connectors are pneumatically crimped and critical connections are soldered. Each harness is specifically for your vehicle to meet the needs of your selected electrical options. Standard in every wire harness are several "Option" wires for future use. Adding after-sale equipment or making rarely needed repairs is made easier as each Leader wire is printed with not only the circuit number but also the wire's function every eight inches. Each vehicle also comes with a set of easy to understand schematics and a wire identification call-out list with color, gauge, circuit number and function.
Fiberglass
Although one of the very few items not done in-house all fiberglass components used by Leader Industries come from our own molds and are thoroughly inspected by Leader before being accepted for delivery. Each fiberglass item is not only inspected for finish but also uniform thickness insuring the maximum strength at a minimum weight. Leader is one of a few, if not the only manufacturer to include a grounded metal mesh within our fiberglass ambulance tops to insure proper operation of your roof mounted antenna arrays.
Paint
Ambulances painted by Leader are first inspected for dings and dents. These are most often removed using a “paint-less” removal system. The area(s) to be painted are then carefully masked off and hand sanded… NO chemical etching as is the case in bargain shops. Air Quality compliant commercial coatings are used to bring your paint scheme to life. Hand sanding, buffing and edge detailing is also performed prior to delivery to provide a paint job that will last the life of your vehicle.
