Our workshop in Dry Creek, South Australia
We started as D&A Machining in 1999—just Darren and Alison Forrest running a small workshop in Croydon Park. As the business grew, we relocated to a larger premises in Dry Creek.
In 2016, D&A machining acquired Litchfield Balancing Services, adding dynamic balancing to expand our capabilities.
Litchfield’s is made up of Darren our owner operator, Wade with years of balancing and machining experience and Ethan, our apprentice.
Our workshop in Dry Creek, South Australia
We run a tight, honest workshop—built on:
Clear communication
so you always know where things stand.
Practical problem-solving
we think ahead and make things work.
Taking ownership
because our name goes out with every project.
Repairs and maintenance, custom builds, and complex one‑offs.
We machine, re‑measure, fine‑tune, and test until it's right.
We keep the queue moving.
Jobs start as soon as capacity opens, and we slot in urgent work where possible.
We keep you informed, outline the options, and back the result.
If anything falls short of our standards, we put it right.
Litchfield’s proudly supports the manufacturing, mining, engineering, agriculture and maintenance industries across South Australia. Our services are trusted by businesses who rely on precision balancing and machining to maintain the performance and reliability of their equipment.
All balancing, machining, fabrication, and repair work is completed in-house at our fully equipped Dry Creek workshop, ensuring strict quality control and fast turnaround times.
