Your Load, Your Floor—Custom Engineered Equipment
When an off-the-shelf machine can’t handle the loads, floor plan, or safety requirements, we design and build exactly what your operation needs. Our team designs custom-engineered equipment with practical shop-floor experience to deliver a solution that moves high-capacity industrial loads with control, repeatability, and safety—while fitting your footprint, people, and process.
The Design-Build Process
1) Define the problem, not just the specs
We begin with a field-level understanding of your operation: load types and sizes, floor conditions, building layout, safety rules, operator skills, maintenance constraints, and integration points with existing equipment or software. This upfront work cuts rework, avoids change orders, and keeps the schedule on track.
2) Design Engineering
We translate your requirements into a buildable design. That includes detailed analysis to validate frames and lift points, right-sizing motors and drives for the cycle time, modeling air-bearing or wheel-based transport to match your loads and floor, completing safety risk assessments to relevant standards, and producing layout drawings to confirm fit, clearances, and traffic flow—all so the design is ready for fabrication and the build phase.
3) Controls, safety, and integration
We design controls to match your operators and environment—ranging from simple pendants to advanced automation with scanners, lights, and PLC connectivity. We focus on easy-to-use operator screens, safety circuits that drive stack lights and alarms, interlocks that coordinate with the equipment before and after your station, and clear data outputs your team can use for maintenance and production reporting
4) Build for the real world
Your equipment is fully built in Decatur, IL—from frames and decks to manifolds, wiring, and final assembly. We select materials and finishes for the environment (abrasion, chemicals, heat) and design easy access for servicing components, so maintenance is quick and easy.
5) Built. Tested. Ready to Run.
Before shipment, we put every system through extensive, real-world testing to confirm load handling, motion control, safety functions, cycle times, and operator workflows. As part of this process, we conduct a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at our Decatur, IL facility—and we invite your team to attend—so you can see the equipment perform under your requirements and leave with the documentation you need for a smooth start-up.
6) Installation & Team Training (Optional)
If you chose this service during purchase, our team can handle on-site installation and provide hands-on training for operators and maintenance teams. We focus on safe startup, proper use of controls, basic troubleshooting, and routine care—so your team is confident running and maintaining the equipment from day one.
What “Custom” Means To Us
Engineered for your load. From coils and dies to transformers and aircraft assemblies, we size structures and movement for actual mass, center of gravity, and handling needs.
Built for your floor. We assess your load requirements and floor conditions and then provide the right solution, either air-bearing, wheel-based, or hybrid.
Safe by design. Safety scanners, light stacks, horn/visual alarms, lock-out points, and clear operator workflows are considered from day one.
Serviceable. Access panels, quick-disconnects, standard components, and clean cable/hose routing reduce downtime when maintenance is due.
Built to Last. Heavy-duty frames, industrial-grade components, and service access deliver years of reliable use—equipment our customers trust and love to operate.
