Machine Installation in Germantown, WI
Careful rigging, setting, and removal of industrial equipment for Germantown businesses, from a family-owned crew with deep roots in Washington County.
A village that grew from farmland to industry
Whether a machine is new from the manufacturer or being moved across your own floor, the installation steps are the same: plan, rig, set, and check. Machine installation from our crew follows those steps closely, and we do not skip the checking.
Schumacher Machine Repair Company is family-owned and based in Hartford, in the same county as Germantown. We have been installing and relocating industrial equipment for Wisconsin manufacturers since 2003, and the village is a natural part of the territory we cover.
A Village With Farming and Quarrying Roots
Germantown is a Washington County village whose economy was historically built on farming, including dairy, with limestone quarrying in its southern areas starting in the 1870s. The village has changed a great deal since. Whatever a community’s history, industrial buildings are usually added to over time, with later additions attached to earlier ones.
That layering is relevant for installation. A plant that has grown in stages can have a floor that changes level, aisles that narrow at old walls, and utilities that follow earlier layouts. The freeway helps with outside access, since I-41, US 41, and US 45 serve the village alongside WIS 145 and WIS 167. Inside the walls, we plan each placement around what the building actually offers.
What’s Included
Germantown installations from our team can cover:
- Rigging and installation of production machinery
- Moving and precisely setting equipment in an existing layout
- Assembly and disassembly to suit narrow doors and aisles
- Conveyor installations connecting stations
- Robotic cell setup and integration
- Equipment removal, transfer, and reinstallation
Our Approach
We walk the building with you and write down the details that matter: door widths, floor transitions, ceiling heights, and where utilities enter. Older additions and newer ones often differ, and the plan reflects it.
For bigger projects, project management ties the schedule together, and our CAD and engineering team can draw the layout so everyone is working from the same page.
On site, we place each machine to the plan and verify the result. Any adjustment the building forces on us is explained before it is made.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Tight doors, uneven floors, and low ceilings are common in industrial buildings that have been expanded over the years. We plan for them, which can mean disassembling a machine for the move and putting it back together once it is in place.
We do. Our shop is in Hartford, and our crews travel to jobs across Washington County and the surrounding region, including Germantown.
Our engineering team can develop a floor and machine layout in AutoCAD or SolidWorks before the equipment moves, and our crew then installs it as drawn.
We disconnect and remove it in a planned sequence, then prepare the space for what is coming next. Removal and installation are scheduled together so the floor is ready when the new machine arrives.
Call (414) 412-4994 or use the contact form. A description of the machine, its approximate size, and a few photos of the area are helpful starting points.
