Machine Installation in Port Washington, WI
Rigging, precision setting, and removal of industrial machinery for Port Washington manufacturers, from a family-owned Wisconsin crew.
Installation for a lakeshore manufacturing city
Moving machinery for a manufacturer is a job where preparation does most of the work. Machine installation from our crew puts that preparation first: a site review, a plan for the lift, and a checked placement.
Schumacher Machine Repair Company is family-owned and based in Hartford. Since 2003 we have served industrial customers across Southeastern Wisconsin, and our crew brings its own rigging equipment to Port Washington when a job calls for it.
A Harbor City With a Manufacturing Record
Port Washington is the county seat of Ozaukee County, on the western shore of Lake Michigan, with an artificial harbor at the mouth of Sauk Creek. Manufacturing was about a quarter of the city's jobs as of 2015, and the city's historical major employers included a chair factory and a tractor maker. A city with that history has a long familiarity with production equipment.
I-43 passes around the city to the west and north, WIS 32 runs north-south through it, and WIS 33 ends downtown. Those routes support deliveries. The installation itself still depends on the building: an older plant may have narrow bays and limited headroom, while a newer one may be more open. We assess each site on its terms and plan the lift around it.
What’s Included
A Port Washington installation can include:
- Rigging and installation of production equipment
- Moving and precision setting of machines
- Assembly and disassembly for tight bays and doors
- Conveyor installations
- Robotic cell setup and integration
- Equipment replacement, relocation, and removal
Our Approach
The site visit covers the building, the machine, and the path in between. We record dimensions and note anything that could change the rigging plan.
We then assemble the plan and, for larger efforts, bring in project management to coordinate the schedule. Our CAD team can draw layouts, and our millwrights can align the machine after it is set.
Our crew carries out the installation carefully, verifies the placement, and walks you through the finished work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Port Washington is within the region we serve, and our crews travel from Hartford with the equipment the job needs.
We can. Limited headroom and narrow bays are common, and they may call for disassembling a machine, using lower-profile rigging, or both.
We start from the machine's weight, shape, and lift points, then match the rigging to the building and the route. We walk through the plan with you before the day.
Precision setting is part of installation, and our millwrights can handle detailed alignment and ongoing maintenance if you want it.
Call (414) 412-4994 or use the contact form. Share the machine, the building, and your timing, and we will set up a visit.
