Planning Your Facility Move

Starting off the New Year, 2013, we've seen quite a few facility moves. Whether that is any indication of a trend for this year is unclear.  Although, at least so far, more companies we've seen, seem to be planning and making strategic decisions to combat the economic climate as opposed to the “all hell’s broke loose” decisions they've been forced to make of the last several years.  Our team gets a lot of satisfaction by being part of our customer’s team.  As there’s much more to a plant relocation than pick up the machines and move, we help our clients plan everything from electrical to process piping to HVAC and concrete foundations.

One small facility move that we performed last week consisted of moving three Mazak CNC milling machines in excesses of 15,000 lbs (handled quite nicely with a Versa-Lift 25/35) and several smaller mills, lathes, grinders and related equipment. Moving the larger machines out of the old facility meant dealing with very tight conditions. With only fractions of an inch on either side of the machines, we carefully moved these out the single overhead door.  The new facility was a dream for unloading the equipment.  This client planned for growth and invested more than a year of time to get the move right.  Not everyone has the luxury of a year to plan. Either way American Industrial Werks is at your service.

Video - New Ferry 280 Installation

American Industrial Werks crews are wrapping up a new installation of a Ferry 280 Rotational Mold Machine. This is a turnkey installation involving planning and drawings for permit acquisition, rigging and mechanical for complete assembly of the machine, all electrical connections, and a concrete foundation for the jib crane. Then we follow through with inspections and start-up with the Ferry company technicians for last minute fine tuning.

We're relocating a couple bridge cranes and hoists today. Check out the featured project to see more. We will add pictures as the project progresses.

Manufacturing & Fabrication - meet our solutions

Moving right along, a new page has been added to our website "Manufacturing & Fabrication". This new page is designed to give examples of how American Industrial Werks can be a valuable resource to manufacturing and fabrication companies.

While our competitors focus only on machine moving services, we focus on providing industrial solutions. By providing more for our customers, we build stronger relationships and thus better knowledge of how to serve.

Outsourcing specific services makes sense when experts with the right tools can do the job for less. It also makes sense if it keeps you focused on production so you can meet the demands of your customers, sometimes even if hiring a firm costs more. By outsourcing to a company that can provide more than one service, now you can start to offset some of the costs by building efficiencies.

If you are in the manufacturing or fabrication business, come see how American Industrial Werks can provide service and solutions to keep you on the profit track.
