Chassis:
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170” Wheelbase Extended High Roof Van
Features:
We collaborated with the Lions Club to engineer a rugged, compact mobile optical testing van designed to deliver professional eye‑care services directly to remote, under served, and mountainous communities. Purpose-built for maneuverability and efficiency, this mobile vision unit offers a complete one‑lane optical exam setup, durable storage solutions, and reliable off‑grid power—ensuring optometrists can provide quality eye exams anywhere.
Off‑Grid Ready: Power and Exterior Features Built for Remote Vision Clinics
To support consistent operation in locations without utilities, the mobile optical testing van includes a robust, under‑chassis generator paired with shore‑power capability. The spare tire is relocated to the rear door to maximize interior space.
Exterior Features
Under chassis generator for independent, remote operation
Rear door spare tire mount for easy access
Single roof AC unit for comfort in extreme heat
Shore power inlet for plug in capability
LED scene lights on all sides for safe setup day or night
Custom sidesteps and reinforced grab handle for easy entry
These features make the van ideal for mountain routes, rural outreach programs, community screenings, and long‑distance mobile clinic events.
