Otorohanga · Waikato · since 1985

Today's farm dairy
is no longer "the shed".

It's a major investment. A milking facility has to be extremely well-designed to accommodate larger herds while improving efficiency in cow flow and hygiene. We design, manufacture and build rotary dairies, farm structures and pre-cast concrete components for Waikato dairy farms — and have done since 1985.

Rotary dairy sheds & yards

Designed for the herd you have. And the herd you'll have.

A rotary platform is a 25-year decision. We design and build them as a complete package — platform, gates, yard, services — manufactured in-house and installed across the Waikato.

Internal rotary sheds

Full enclosed-roof rotary platforms for all-weather milking. Designed around your cow flow, not a generic template.

External rotary sheds

Open-air rotary platforms for farms that want lower capital cost without compromising on hygiene or flow.

Replacement rotary sheds

Replacing an aging shed on the same footprint, with minimal disruption to the milking schedule.

Rotary buildings

The shed structure around the platform — engineered for Waikato weather, designed for cow welfare.

Rotary yard systems

Complete yard design, from collection through to backing gates, drafting and exit lanes.

Farm structures

Concrete that lasts. Everywhere it matters.

Concrete farm bridges

Engineered for stock and tractor traffic. Pre-cast in-house, delivered, installed.

Stock underpasses

Move stock under the road safely. Pre-cast concrete underpass systems built to NZ standards.

Silage pits

Heavy-duty concrete pits with drainage built in. Sized to the farm.

Feed pads

Concrete feed pads designed for hygiene, drainage and stock comfort.

Fertiliser storage bins

On-farm fertiliser bins. Plus larger curved-truss commercial fertiliser stores.

Dairy shed components

Add-on upgrades for existing dairies.

A full range of add-on components for upgrading an existing rotary or yard. Most parts are manufactured in our Otorohanga workshop; specialist drive units come from proven NZ suppliers.

Commercial

Curved truss buildings beyond the dairy.

The same engineering that builds dairy sheds also builds curved truss commercial structures. One recent project: the large fertiliser store in Otorohanga for Freightlines.

If you've got a building that needs scale, span and the engineering to back it up, we can design and build it.

About

40 years of dairy in the Waikato.

Dairy Tech is a dairy design and construction company based in Otorohanga, Waikato. We have been providing quality design solutions and construction integrity for farm dairies since 1985 — solutions that withstand the increasing demands of dairy farm management.

The design of rotary platforms, gates, and yard services are part of a complete Dairy Design & Construction Package that includes pre-cast concrete components made exclusively by Dairy Tech. A range of add-on upgrade components allows significant improvement in efficiency of existing dairies.

Dairy Tech applies the same design expertise to constructing curved truss buildings for commercial use. Farm structures designed and built by Dairy Tech include concrete farm-bridges, concrete underpasses for stock movement, silage pits, feed pads and fertiliser bins.

Most components are manufactured by Dairy Tech and specialised equipment such as gate drive units are sourced from proven, reliable suppliers. Dairy Tech also provides Design Consultancy and a Maintenance & Repair Service.
