Rakaia Island Project
Rakaia Island was a large 2025 project. We assisted in the installation of a brand new dairy shed. Barnhill Engineering completed many tasks in this project, including:
Backing gates
Top gates

Pro-lift platform
All rails and gates

Dixon Road Dairy Shed Platform Removal & Installation Project
This recent 2025 project consisted of a complete dairy shed platform & milk plant removal. Thanks to our hardworking team, we completed the removal process of a 60-bale dairy shed in just two days. Following the removal of the platform & milk plant, Donald's Engineering installed the new platform, and Barnhill Engineering reinstated the milk plant.
See below some of the progress we made whilst removing the milk plant and platforms.
Rangitata Huts Project
This 2025 project consisted of removing the old, unreliable platform running gear, as well as the milk plant removal under the dairy shed platform. Barnhill Engineering then reinstated with the trusted Donald Engineering twin"I" beam nylon system.
Take a look at the before VS after photos of the running gear below.
Pro-lift Platforms
While servicing dairy sheds, Barnhill Engineering recognised the need for an alternative safe method of operating the large vet platforms. We have created the PRO-LIFT Platform – a vet dairy platform built with safety, efficiency, and ease of use in mind. Its “easy-lift” system is designed to support farmers and streamline day-to-day operations.
