Reporting for Duty: Mobile Operating Theatre
The Mobile Operating Theatre, treating animals in a more safe and efficient manner. But how did we handle such a bespoke spec?
Since then have equipped them with a fleet of animal transporter vans, as well as kitted out & decaled a number of Ford Connects, to aid in their quest to treat animals.
In 2017, Bott were contacted by the RSPCA with our latest project; the Mobile Operating Theatre. Deployed to bring the Hospital to the area, and treat animals in a more safe and efficient manner.
Bott joined forces with the RSPCA back in 2016
With their old vehicle worn and requiring additions, the RSPCA were looking for a modern successor, equipped with designated zones for operating and storage.
The challenges of this project were:
- Keeping the vehicle under 3.5 tonne weight limit, meant the Bott team were poised to work together to create a heated, but lightweight operating table
- Creating the operating lamp, and ensuring it could be stored in a safe and secure manner - drawing expertise from Bott's Electrical Development team and the RSPCA to find the perfect solution
- Hot water system
- Integrating specialist veterinary equipment
The Challenges
An extensive, 14-month project, utilising expertise from across our Vehicle Conversion team.
"Bott’s care and attention throughout the project was excellent and it was great to work with such a supportive company. This project will help the lives of many people and their pets, and we are grateful for Bott’s help in getting us on the road." - Ben Faulkner, Hospital Manager, RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital
"Everyone involved was excited by the nature of the project, and found it particularly rewarding to work on, for such a good cause." - Lily Chittim, Sales Coordinator, Bott Ltd
