Reid & Harrison (1980) Ltd have been in the business of successfully pumping liquid / solid slurries for over 50 years. Bob Dalley took over directorship of Reid & Harrison (1980

) Ltd after 20 years working for the company, including a large input into the development of the original Yardmaster pump, and still maintains an active role in the company. Along with 32 staff, many of whom have in excess of 10 years experience with Reid & Harrison, they have pushed the Yardmaster product to the leading position in the New Zealand market. As requirements have altered in the industry, Reid & Harrison (1980) Ltd have continued to develop the Yardmaster range to stay at the top. A large modern industrial complex was sought and acquired at 1 Waihou Street. This site having good road access and continues the high Matamata profile previously enjoyed. Reid and Harrison moved onto site in February 2014 and now has much improved physical space and materials handling capability to increase the service offering to their customers. As part of the strategy to grow the service and capabilities, R&H have set up a nationwide Certified Dealer Network. With access to Yardmaster product training, technical support and product information, The Certified Dealers have the might of the full Yardmaster organisation supporting them. R&H also in 2014 acquired a stainless steel business (formerly ISD) that included intellectual property for Separation products. These separators have complemented the existing product range enabling full system design and supply. In 2016, R&H acquired the local Certified Dealer business of Environmental Technologies Ltd. which included a pond, herd home pumping capability as well as trenching. The business is also Dairy NZ certified for Farm Dairy Effluent design. Also in 2016, a strategic supply agreement was entered with TAG I.T for a combined development and launch of a Supersmart effluent monitoring and control system under the Yardmaster HALO brand. This cloud based system enables full control of pump speed and thus flow and pressures to match the varying requirments in a farm situation.

Another underpass pump installation complete

Our Services team recently installed a Yardmaster RH5 effluent pump for this new farm underpass. 🚜

With a 4 kW motor, tough construction and the ability to deal with the rubbish and debris that naturally finds its way into an underpass sump, the RH5 was a great fit for the job.

Small motor. Tough pump. Simple controls. ✅
