Crendon Machinery

Crendon Machinery is your specialist manufacturer of innovative horticultural and viticultural equipment in Western Australia. Based at 2 Ramsay Terrace, Donnybrook WA 6239, in the heart of the South West region’s farming country, this family-owned business has been designing and building practical machinery since the early 1960s, starting from the Fry family’s mixed orchard, dairy, and beef property called “CRENDON.” Officially established as Crendon Machinery in 1978, with Neville Fry (son of founder Mick Fry) as manager, they continue to focus on solutions born from real on-farm experience.

Their core range includes the Squirrel Series elevating work platforms (cherry pickers) with models from 3.5m to 8.1m reach, featuring Soft Drive hydraulics, bogie drive options, crab steer for tight rows, low voltage insulation for safety, and extras like picking bags, air compressors, and foot controls that boost productivity by up to 30%. The NetWizz Series offers automated bird, hail, and exclusion netting applicators/retrievers in slim, standard, and hi-lift configurations tailored for narrow vineyards, orchards, or crop cover. Other key products include Sadie Series cane/pruning sweepers (single/double-sided for vineyards and orchards), Weed Boom herbicide spray systems, Olinet olive/pistachio harvesting aids, Bin Runner and Bin Trailer self-loading/unloading systems, Power Wire Winders, and more – all Australian-made with a strong emphasis on durability, innovation, and suitability for WA’s diverse growing conditions.

The business targets growers, contractors, and operators in orchards (apples, stone fruit), vineyards, olives, and related horticulture across the South West and beyond, supplying through dealers while maintaining an on-site workshop for support and parts. Proudly independent and rooted in local farming heritage, Crendon stands out for award-winning designs that solve real-world challenges – from narrow-row access to efficient netting and pruning – with a focus on reliability and performance in regional conditions.

As the go-to manufacturer for specialized horticultural and viticultural machinery in Western Australia’s South West, Crendon Machinery delivers practical, homegrown equipment that keeps farms productive and efficient – the trusted choice for growers who value innovation built from actual paddock experience!
