Pumps &
valves built
to be rebuilt.

Batescrew has been making pumps and valves on the Newell Highway since 1951. Three-quarters of a century later we are still a small, family-led shop — but the pumps have travelled. They sit in storages and channels across every Australian state, in the United States and China, in irrigation districts in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, on plantations in Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Sri Lanka, and in the copper belt of Zambia.

What survives a half-century in those conditions is rarely the cheapest unit on the bid sheet. It is the one that was designed to be opened, repacked, re-bushed, re-shafted. Our records are the most comprehensive in Australia — every pump we have ever shipped is documented, and the parts archive is open not just to our own customers, but to operators of pumps no longer supported by their original manufacturer.

If your pump is still in service after thirty years, it is not because nothing went wrong. It is because someone, somewhere, kept the drawings.
