Machine Installation in Cedarburg, WI
Careful rigging, precise setting, and equipment removal for Cedarburg businesses, including those working in older and historic buildings.
Installing equipment with respect for older buildings
Putting a modern machine into an older building is a different task from installing one in a new plant. Machine installation in that setting calls for extra attention to floors, openings, and structure, and we plan accordingly.
Schumacher Machine Repair Company is family-owned and based in Hartford, and we have served industrial customers across Southeastern Wisconsin since 2003. We bring our own rigging equipment, and we work out each route and placement before a machine is moved.
Cedarburg and Its Mill Heritage
Cedarburg is a city in Ozaukee County, incorporated in 1885, and Cedar Creek runs through it. Its early economy centered on hydropowered gristmills and woolen mills along the creek. Today the city has a Washington Avenue Historic District downtown and more than 200 preserved historic buildings.
For an installation crew, that heritage has a practical meaning. Older masonry and timber buildings can have lower floor capacity, irregular openings, and structure that deserves protection. WIS 60 and I-43 are the main routes named for the area, but the real work is inside: confirming the floor can carry the machine, protecting walls and thresholds on the way in, and placing the machine so that it suits the building as well as the process.
What’s Included
A Cedarburg installation can include:
- Rigging and installation with protection for existing structure
- Precision setting that accounts for the floor and foundation
- Disassembly and reassembly to pass through limited openings
- Conveyor installations adapted to the building layout
- Robotic cell setup and integration
- Removal of old equipment and careful clearing of the area
Our Approach
We begin with a close look at the building: floor type and condition, door and stair dimensions, ceiling heights, and anything that needs protecting. Older buildings reward that kind of attention.
Where a floor or support needs strengthening, we can plan it with our engineering team and build it through our fabrication work, with project management tying the steps together.
The installation itself is done slowly and deliberately, with protection laid where it is needed. At the end, we check the machine's position and the condition of the route.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We plan for the structure, which can mean protecting floors and openings, taking a machine apart to pass through, and confirming that supports are adequate before the lift.
We raise that early. Depending on what we find, options can include spreading the load, adding support, or choosing a different position, and we discuss them with you before work begins.
We do. Protection and careful handling are part of the plan, and we note existing conditions before we start.
Our fabrication and welding crews build supports and bases to suit the machine and the building, so that work can be part of the same job.
