Since its inception in 1999, the purpose-built TGS Ambulance workshop has prepared well over 800 ambulances. The TGS ambulance team is continuously seeking improvement and proactively establishing improvements to the accessories which we fit and the way we fit them.

TGS not only has the facilities but also the right team to respond quickly to urgent customer needs.

The team is led by Darrell Cavilla who has been with TGS for nearly 5 years. Darrell comes from a steel works and welding background which stands him in good stead when converting standard Land Cruisers and Hiaces into ambulances.

Darrell has a team of 4 experienced fitters assisting him with the preparation of ambulances. The team rarely convert an ambulance with the same specifications. This is because each customer has a different set of priorities and needs and therefore the equipment and accessories which we fit are usually different each time. Of course beacons, sirens, stretchers and basic first response kits are normally included in everyone’s ambulance needs but after that the combinations are endless.

The ambulance team is currently engaged in the preparation of 18 high-spec Hiace ambulances which will be shipped out over the coming weeks. With over 73 hours of expert fitting and conversion work going into each one, these units will certainly be at the top end of ambulance capabilities and will include a specially designed EMS (Emergency Management System), fully fitted oxygen system, main and secondary stretcher, sphygmometer, defibrillator and vacuum mattress amongst other items.

All in a day’s work for the TGS Ambulance workshop team which welcomes the challenges and responsibilities which accompany providing our customers with the high level of service they expect.
