Machine Installation in Grafton, WI
Rigging, precision setting, and removal of industrial machinery for Grafton manufacturers, from a family-owned crew with a long record of careful work.
Machinery handled by people who respect the work
A machine that has been installed well is one nobody has to think about again. Machine installation from our crew aims for exactly that outcome, through careful planning, correct rigging, and a final check before we leave the floor.
Schumacher Machine Repair Company is a family-owned business based in Hartford, and we have installed, relocated, and removed equipment for Wisconsin manufacturers since 2003. Grafton is among the communities we serve, and our crew travels there with the equipment each job requires.
A Mill Town on the Milwaukee River
Grafton is a village in Ozaukee County, incorporated in 1896, and the Milwaukee River runs through its downtown. It began as a mill town, with hydropowered gristmills and woolen mills, and lime quarrying and kilns were important there until the 1920s. A place that grew around mills and quarries has a long history of heavy equipment and the people who kept it running.
I-43 passes the eastern part of the village, and WIS 60 runs through the downtown area. Those routes bring machinery in. What happens after it arrives is up to the plan: the delivery position, the lift, the route through the building, and the final setting. We write that plan around your site and your machine, and we go over it with you before any work begins.
What’s Included
A Grafton installation project can include:
- Rigging and installation of production machinery
- Moving, positioning, and precision setting of equipment
- Disassembly and reassembly for transport or tight access
- Conveyor system installations
- Robotic cell setup and integration
- Replacement, relocation, and removal of existing machines
Our Approach
We begin with a conversation and a visit. What is the machine, how heavy is it, where is it going, and what is in the way? Answers to those questions shape everything that follows.
For layouts or custom supports, our CAD and engineering team and fabrication crew can contribute, with project management keeping the pieces in order.
Setting is done carefully and checked against the plan. We walk the finished installation with you so you can see the result and ask questions while we are still on site.
