Machine Installation in Richfield, WI
Rigging, setting, and removal of industrial equipment for Richfield businesses, from a family-owned crew based in Hartford, in the same county.
Installation work close to home
Smaller facilities deserve the same planning as larger ones. Machine installation for a single-bay shop and for a large plant follows the same logic: confirm the details, rig carefully, set accurately, and leave the area ready for work.
Schumacher Machine Repair Company is a family-owned business headquartered in Hartford, in the same county as Richfield. We have served Wisconsin manufacturers since 2003, and our crew is comfortable working in operations of every size.
A Village With a Mill on Coney Creek
Richfield is a Washington County village that incorporated in 2008, after being a town since 1846. Its economy started with wheat farming, moved to dairy in the 1880s, and from the 1970s saw suburban development. One landmark is the Messer-Mayer Gristmill, built on Coney Creek in 1871 to 1873 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Mills like that one were machinery in their day, and keeping them running was skilled work.
Today Richfield is a crossing point for WIS 167 and WIS 175, which meet at a roundabout in the village. The businesses around it tend to be smaller and spread out, which shapes how we approach an installation: fewer people on site, equipment that may be staged outdoors, and more reliance on getting the plan right in advance so each trip counts.
What’s Included
A Richfield installation project can include:
- Rigging and placement of shop and production machinery
- Moving and setting equipment to a precise position
- Breaking down and reassembling machines for transport or limited access
- Conveyor installations where material needs to travel between stations
- Robotic cell installation and integration
- Taking out replaced or surplus machinery
Our Approach
We begin by learning the size and character of your operation. A smaller site may have limited yard space or a single door, and those facts drive the rigging plan.
Because trips matter, we confirm the details ahead of time: what is being moved, where it goes, and what we need to bring. Where drawings help, our CAD and engineering team prepares them.
On the day, we do the work with care for your building as well as your machine, and we leave you with a clear understanding of what was done and what, if anything, comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We serve operations of all sizes, and a smaller facility gets the same walkthrough, planning, and attention as a large plant.
A single machine is a perfectly good project for us. We rig and set it with the same care we would give a larger line, and we can combine it with removal of the machine it replaces.
We can plan for it. Staging outside means thinking about ground conditions, weather, and security of the equipment, and we raise those points during the walkthrough so there are no surprises.
When a project benefits from a layout or a detail drawing, our engineering team can provide one. Not every installation needs it, and we will tell you if we think it will not add value.
Call (414) 412-4994 or use the contact form to describe the machine and the location. We will go over the details with you and set up a time to visit.
