Machine Installation in Slinger, WI
Heavy rigging, accurate setting, and clean removal of industrial machinery for Slinger manufacturers, from a family-owned crew based in Hartford, also in Washington County.
Heavy equipment, set with care
Some machines are heavy enough that the plan for moving them matters as much as the move itself. Machine installation is where that planning pays off: rigging that matches the load, a route that has been walked, and a final position that has been checked against the drawings.
Schumacher Machine Repair Company is family-owned and based in Hartford, and we have served manufacturers across Southeastern Wisconsin since 2003. Slinger is in the same county as our Hartford shop, which makes it simple for us to visit a site, plan the work, and come back with the right equipment.
A Village With Metalworking Roots
Slinger is a Washington County village that rests in the heart of the Kettle Moraine. Its early businesses included blacksmithing, wagon making, shoemaking, and tanning, and after World War II the village grew heavy industry, including a foundry company. Metalworking and heavy equipment are part of the place, so a conversation about rigging a large machine is not unusual here.
Crossing the village, WIS 60 meets WIS 175, and those routes make the area straightforward to reach. Heavy industry, though, tends to mean heavy machines in buildings that were fitted around them, with overhead cranes, pits, and fixed utilities. We plan an installation around those fixtures, working out what can be moved, what cannot, and how the new machine fits among them.
What’s Included
A Slinger installation project from our crew can include:
- Heavy machinery rigging and equipment installation
- Precision setting, leveling, and positioning on prepared foundations
- Assembly and disassembly of large equipment
- Conveyor system installation and connection
- Robotic cell placement and integration
- Removal, unloading, and demolition work tied to equipment changes
Our Approach
Planning begins with the machine and the building: weight, footprint, lift points, overhead clearance, and the path from the door to the foundation. We note anything that affects the choice of rigging before committing to a method.
For projects with several moving parts, project management keeps the timeline and the trades in step, so your team has one contact and one schedule.
During the lift and set, we take the time to place the machine accurately and confirm it against the plan. If a custom base or support is needed, our welding crew can build it as part of the same job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Heavy machinery is a regular part of our work. We choose rigging to match the load and the building, bring our own rigging equipment when needed, and coordinate with trusted partners where a job calls for more.
We visit the site, review the route and the foundation, and agree on the sequence of the work. By the time anything is lifted, the plan has been checked against the building so the steps are known.
Yes. We disconnect, rig, and remove outgoing equipment, and we plan the removal together with the installation so the space is ready when the new machine arrives.
We can. Our welding and fabrication crews build the supports and connections a machine needs, which means a custom base does not have to be sourced separately.
Call (414) 412-4994 or send us a note through the contact form. Share what the machine is and where it needs to go, and we will propose a time to walk the site together.
