Company Profile

Benparts was established in February 1986 by John Bennett. Since its establishment Benparts has provided modern, high quality, high technology goods and services to clients to enable them to operate in a sustainable, efficient and profitable manner. Problem solving and finding solutions to enable efficient operation is our priority and we endeavour to ensure clients are receiving the best possible outcomes for their individual irrigation needs.

At all times Benparts is seeking new ways to achieve its vision in the supply of pumps, pivots, diesel engines, electric motors, automatic control systems, remote monitoring and ancillary components. This is achieved with the design and installation of new systems, upgrade of existing systems and the repairs and maintenance of operational units.

Benparts provides services from the water source to the application of the water, being responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of the systems. Benparts aims to complete all processes in house without the use of sub contactors to enable a total systems approach. Benparts are licenced electrical contractors, have a welding shop, a repair shop, a crane, a telehandler and a wide range of tools and equipment.

Automation is a speciality of Benparts which enables the remote operation and monitoring of irrigation and stock water systems using the internet and Apps which are easily accessible on smart phones, tablets and computers. This is achieved by notifications being sent via Alerts, SMS or Email. Diesel and electric pumps and generators for irrigation and stock water systems can be started automatically without being on site. The operation of the system can then be remotely monitored with status and alarms being delivered automatically. Much of the equipment used to deliver these services has been developed in house with Benparts operating its own computer server and web-based software. As we complete all programming in house, many custom installations have been developed satisfying the individual needs of clients.

Benparts has two branches located in Adelaide, SA and Bordertown, SA.

Benparts happily services all areas of Australia.
