From boats to milking systems by Ann Morgan
Brian Thomas of Baty Engineering designs and manufactures West Coast Catz, his own range of aluminium power boats. The company also offers a range of general services. “We have a mobile workshop which means issues can be dealt at the client’s site if needed,” says Brian. “Plus we design and build a range of ute decks, specific to the needs of each individual. “Whatever engineering needs our clients have, we are available to discuss and plan with them.” Baty Thomas Engineering are dealers for Waikato Milking Systems and Reporoa High Lift Gates, and Brian says they can have a new cowshed installed in around three to four weeks. The gate range is motorised with robust quality construction and the strong design is easy to operate. Tailored controls in the shed help manage herd flow, by
encouraging the herd to move more easily. “At the Field Days we are able to inform farmers about the machinery and gate range. Together, these make the milking routine more efficient and productive. We will be displaying a number of products and look forward to helping farmers with their engineering and milking equipment requirements.” Brian purchased the Dargaville business from company founders Doug and Ian Baty in 2002 and with more than 35 years of experience, Brian is now passing on his love of the trade to his eight staff, including two apprentices. “I love my staff and go all out to make sure they are qualified and up to date with what is happening in the engineering world,” says Brian.
