Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a custom mobile clinic?

New custom builds take 8-10 weeks (53 ft trailers 150-180 days) from signed Sales Agreement, subject to chassis availability. The build process includes engineering drawings, sub-assembly, interior build-out, medical equipment installation, exterior paint and branding, and final audit. Rental fleet units can ship in 1-4 weeks when available.

Can I rent a mobile clinic instead of buying one?

Yes, Odulair offers rental options subject to fleet availability. You can also purchase or lease through finance partners subject to credit approval. The right option depends on your program duration, budget planning, and long-term goals. Rental units can ship in 1-4 weeks when available.

Do I need a CDL to drive a mobile clinic?

Vans and box trucks rated 26,000 lb GVWR or less do not require a CDL, subject to your state's rules. Trailers are towed by a tractor whose driver needs a CDL. Shipping-container units are stationary and are moved by a carrier, not driven.

What is included in the design package?

Odulair provides a custom design package that includes a 2D floorplan, realistic 3D renderings, and a detailed specification sheet. This package shows exactly what you're getting before production begins. The process is collaborative, with expert guidance to help you design a solution that fits your program and patients.
