Citrus orchard worker inspecting orange trees in South Africa
About Turn-Rite

Hands-on engineering for South African farms.

An Eastern Cape engineering and manufacturing company focused on practical, robust, field-tested agricultural and industrial equipment — with a strong focus on citrus.

Our story

Our roots are in practical engineering, fabrication, servicing and machine development. Over recent years we've developed a range of machines specifically suited to orchard and farm use — tower sprayers, single-sided high-penetration sprayers, water carts, fertiliser carts, small 3-point sprayers, trailers, mulching/spreading machines and custom-built attachments.

We work closely with farmers, operators, designers and service teams to improve equipment based on real-world feedback. This approach allows us to continuously refine machine strength, spray performance, serviceability, stability and ease of operation.

Our work often includes more than manufacturing — we're involved in design development, fabrication, machine assembly, spray system setup, PTO and gearbox diagnostics, maintenance support, operator training and warranty support.

Our Approach

Built for how machines actually live in the field.

We don't only focus on what looks good on paper. We consider how the machine will tow, turn, spray, fill, clean, service and survive in the field. That means strong running gear, accessible service points, practical pump and PTO layouts, reliable spray components, and designs that can be maintained by real operators.
