September 11, 2011 – KIMTEK CORPORATION was honored to be given the task of building a permanent display case for a piece of 9-11 history. A 105 pound I-Beam which was part of one of the World Trade Center towers had been donated to Barton Ambulance in Barton, VT. The case was built of aluminum diamond plate, tubing, stainless steel and plexiglass. It gives the viewer a five sided view of the entire I-Beam while protecting it from the elements and human touch given the contaminates that are still on the I-Beam. The display case was built to allow for hand transport to different venues for display so 4 stainless steel handles were added for ease of carrying the case. Once it was completed, the I-Beam was displayed at a “Blue Mass” for local ems-fire-police responders held at St Pauls Church in Barton on the morning of September 11, 2011. It was then transported to a special VT state wide “Blue Mass” held at St Augustines Church in Montpelier that same day. The 9-11 I-Beam display will eventually be placed on permanent display in the foyer of the Barton Ambulance squad in Barton Vermont for all to see.   MEDLITE™ fits where the MEDBED™ doesn’t! 
August 18, 2011 - BREAKING NEWS: MEDLITE™ fits where the MEDBED™ doesn’t! It is no secret that the previous producer of the John Deere Gator MEDBED™ is not producing a medical slip on skid unit for the newly designed plastic composite beds that are standard on all new 2011 John Deere Gator™ 825i, 625i, 855D, HPX, T model 6x4, and M Gator A-1. KIMTEK has the perfect product to take the place of the previous MEDBED™! Our MEDLITE™ Gator Rescue Medical Bed has been placed on older John Deere Gators™ for many years. The MEDLITE™ Transport for the John Deere Gator™ also fits the new cargo bed perfectly. Using the John Deere Gator™ with a medical bed for off-road rescue has been a staple in the emergency services arena for many years. As KIMTEK is the largest producer of UTV/ATV side by side slip on medical and fire-rescue skid units in the industry, we are proud to continue our 28 year tradition of offering quality products to the emergency services community specifically John Deere Gator™ owners and dealers across the nation. This specialty U.S. Navy Ocean Rescue unit was custom built for Mayport Naval Station in Jacksonville Florida. It features the 2011 Polaris Ranger Crew with the full KIMTEK EUV conversion (Emergency Utility Vehicle) and the KIMTEK MEDLITE Transport MTD-10 mounted in the cargo area. This unit has a custom fitted ocean rescue surf board mounted on the roof for easy access by rescuers.  
This unit was delivered December 2010 to the naval station, Mayport.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kimtek Introduces New MEDLITE EV Unit for Polaris Ranger EV Clean green combo ideal for large gatherings in tight spaces Westmore, Vermont, November 26, 2010 –– Kimtek Corporation has introduced the MEDLITE™ Transport EV, a custom skid unit designed for the new Polaris Ranger® EV. This powerful combination is a breakthrough for medical service agencies forced to work in tight crowds and do not want to expose patients, crews, and the public to noxious fumes associated with gas powered UTV units. Using this newly designed MEDLITE™ Transport EV skid unit coupled with the green electric Ranger EV, emergency personnel can have medical transport in rough terrain and inside facilities where noxious fumes from combustion engines would not be acceptable. This innovative skid unit design utilizes the Polaris Lock and Ride system and allows the MEDLITE™ to be quickly installed and locked onto the cargo box. The new MEDLITE™ Transport EV features a storage area, a three-position guide-lock seat with seat belt, IV pole, oxygen holder, and attachments for a long board or stokes basket. The Polaris Ranger EV is the leader in the electric, mid-sized side-by-side class. Clean & quiet, it features smooth independent rear suspension for an unmatched ride, a top speed of 25 mph (40.2 kph) top speed, a 50 mile range, plug recharge with standard 110v AC outlet, and with its mid-sized design, it fits in a full-size pickup. This all around combination is great for golf courses, airports (inside and out) large stadiums, hotels, underground garages, and anywhere large gatherings are taking place in tight spaces.

After talking with the customer at length about their specific requirements for the unit, Kimtek learned that the MEDLITE would be used on the set of EHM. Kimtek expedited a MEDLITE Transport Deluxe MTD-10 out the next day to allow Saint Joseph Medical Center's crew to train with the unit before the August event.
