There’s a lot to be said for knowing exactly where everything is. Especially when your team is responding to a cardiac emergency.

Our six-drawer cardiac response trolley gives clinical teams room to organise equipment and supplies, with different drawer depths to help keep everything in its place.

Designed and made here in Taranaki, it has full-width drawer handles and protective wall buffers. Optional drawer dividers, an IV pole and a catheter holder let you adapt the setup to your team.

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, the trolley features Tasman’s durable aluminium construction, smooth-running drawer slides and easy-to-clean surfaces.

A practical, locally made solution for cardiac wards, emergency departments and other acute-care environments.

We used one of our AI tools to help clean up a recent product photo - I wonder if AI knew it was Friday afternoon and time for Friday drinks. Have a safe weekend.

As Taranaki enjoys the opening of the new East Wing at Taranaki Base Hospital, it is exciting to see such a significant investment being made in healthcare for our region.

Buildings are only part of that investment. The equipment used by clinical teams every day also plays an important role in creating efficient, practical healthcare environments.

This Tasman Procedure Trolley features six drawers in a combination of four shallow and two deep drawers, providing organised storage for a wide range of clinical supplies. Rear-mounted catheter holders add further flexibility, while the trolley can be customised to suit different departments and procedures.

Designed and manufactured here in Taranaki, it is the type of locally made equipment we believe should have a place in New Zealand’s new and redeveloped hospitals.

Not all chart trolleys are created equal.

A medical chart trolley needs to do more than simply hold patient files.

Tasman chart trolleys are purpose-built for the realities of everyday hospital use. Our range combines durable New Zealand-sourced anodised aluminium frames with medical-grade castors, dedicated push handles and impact-resistant wall buffers.

Depending on the configuration, they can also include sloping file bays for easier access, lockable aluminium drawers, additional storage and lift-up work surfaces for reviewing or updating patient notes.

With capacities ranging from compact 10-file models through to configurations holding 39 records, each trolley can be tailored to the hospital’s workflow—not simply supplied as a cabinet on wheels.

Designed and made in Taranaki, Tasman chart trolleys are built for mobility, functionality and years of performance. They are also supported by our renewable five-year warranty and local after-sales service.

When equipment is used every day in a demanding clinical environment, the details matter.

A single road closure nearly disrupted eight months of work.

Over the weekend, Tasman Medical completed a significant delivery and installation at an Auckland Hospital. This project had been eight months in the making and involved considerable planning and coordination between our team in New Plymouth and the hospital project teams in Auckland.

We were lucky to reach Auckland before the road closed. Had our timing been slightly different, eight months of work and a carefully coordinated hospital installation could have been significantly disrupted.

We completed the installation, but the journey home was another matter. Our trucks had to return to New Plymouth via Whanganui, while team members leaving Auckland at 1.00 pm faced a journey of up to eight hours.

For a regional manufacturer, this is much more than an inconvenience. It affects freight costs, staff wellbeing, project timing and our ability to confidently meet commitments to major customers.

Taranaki businesses are encouraged to grow, invest and compete for significant projects across New Zealand. However, that becomes much harder when our connection with the rest of the North Island can be so easily disrupted, with no practical alternative route.

We need a clear, long-term strategy for the resilience of Taranaki’s road connections, including practical alternatives when the main route is closed, better communication with affected businesses and clarity about the infrastructure investment required.

This will require a coordinated response from New Plymouth District Council, Venture Taranaki, Taranaki Chamber of Commerce, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, our MPs McLeod and candidates Clinton-Gohdes across all political parties, local business leaders and central government.

Businesses need more than acknowledgement of the problem. We need to understand the plan, who is responsible for advancing it and when we can expect progress.

Reliable access to the rest of New Zealand is essential to Taranaki’s future.



Update: We are very grateful to everyone involved in reopening the road last night. We appreciate the teams who worked to restore this vital connection and get traffic moving again.

The reopening is welcome news, but it does not lessen the need for a long-term strategy to improve the resilience of Taranaki’s road connections.

After careful consideration, Tasman Medical Equipment has decided to withdraw from the B Corp certification process.

This decision has not been made lightly. We continue to support the principles and values that B Corp promotes, many of which have been embedded in the way our business has operated for decades. Our commitment to ethical business practices, our staff, our customers, our suppliers, and our community remains unchanged.

However, we have found that the practical value of certification has not justified the significant investment of time and resources required to maintain it. There has been little or no demand for B Corp certification from either our customers or our supplier base, and our engagement with B Lab has been limited almost entirely to generic, automated communications, with little meaningful or personal support.

We were also disappointed that, despite being one of only three B Corp Certified businesses in our region and one of only a handful within New Zealand's medical equipment sector, we have never been contacted by a New Zealand-based representative. Given B Corp's emphasis on community and local business engagement, this lack of connection was unexpected.

While we are stepping away from certification, we are not stepping away from the values that led us to pursue it. Tasman Medical Equipment will continue to operate responsibly, support our people and community, and manufacture quality products with integrity. Those commitments are part of who we are—they do not depend on certification.
