Howard Wright was a motor mechanic who loved to make things and solve problems. In the 1950s, Howard started his own engineering business in a small workshop underneath his house. By the 1970s Howard Wright Limited were making and selling most of the hospital beds in use in New Zealand. Howard came up with the idea of using remote hydraulic pumping at the foot of the bed to raise the bed surface. That placed Howard Wright at the forefront in hospital bed design. The M4 was followed by the innovative Pacific Shower Trolley which Howard Wright developed and exported all around the world.
