Who We Serve

By providing X-ray services in their home or care facility, we help reduce unnecessary stress, discomfort, and the risk of injury associated with travel. Our mobile service is also ideal for people with limited time, restricted mobility, or other circumstances that make travelling to an imaging facility difficult.

Delivering Mobile Diagnostic Imaging to Auckland Since 1969

For over five decades, Portable X-Ray Services has been a trusted provider of mobile diagnostic imaging in Auckland. Established in 1969 to serve small private surgical hospitals, we quickly expanded to meet the growing needs of rest homes, hospitals, and private residences.

Our Journey of Innovation

1969

Launched with a single van, manual developing tanks, and a large portable X-ray machine, that weighed roughly 32kgs and required a 4-piece stand that had to be assembled at bedside.

2000

Transitioned to automated processing, equipping vehicles with bench-top film processors and portable generators.

2005

Expanded vehicle fleet to meet rising demand.

2008

Introduced our first Mobile Computed Radiography (CR) Van, eliminated the need for darkrooms and chemicals. This also coincided with a rebrand to our silver and black colour scheme.

2009-2011

Continued fleet modernisation, with all film-processing vans fully decommissioned by December 2011.

2015

Launched our first Digital Radiography (DR) Van, utilising wireless DR panels for faster, high-quality imaging.

2016-2019

Transitioned fleet to DR processing, away from CR technology.

Further expanded our DR fleet.

2022

Peter and Russell sold the business to Ian and retired after 43 years in the business.

2024
