Industrial installation for automotive & mechanical engineering
Where the line runs to a cycle, skill alone is not what counts – it is being able to finish inside the given window. That is exactly what we are built for.

- What it is about
The cycle governs everything – installation included
In the automotive and mechanical engineering industry, installation is not an isolated trade but part of a cycle that must not skip a beat.
A production line rarely stands still. When it does, it is planned: in the weekend window, during the plant shutdown, between two shifts. Anything not finished within that window costs a multiple of the installation itself.
We have been working in exactly these windows for over 20 years – on electric overhead conveyors, paint lines, test rigs, assembly automation systems, crane runways and conveyor technology. Mechanical installation, electrics and welding come together in one installation team.
In the automotive and mechanical engineering industries, the plant usually comes from special-purpose machine builders – test rigs, assembly lines, handling systems. We take on the installation services on site: industrial fitters with mechanics, electrics and welding in one team, who install, relocate or dismantle in the weekend or shutdown window. Anyone looking for an installation contractor for special-purpose machinery in the automotive industry gets both from one source – lifting equipment and installation crew.
For paint shops in car and commercial vehicle plants, we take on mechanical installation, conversion and maintenance during shutdowns: installing, converting and maintaining paint shops.
- Why us
Four reasons why plants call us in
Meeting shutdown windows
We plan backwards from the production cycle: procurement, prefabrication and personnel are in place before the window. What is prepared on Friday evening runs on Monday morning.
Overhead conveyor specialists
Over 15 years of overhead conveyors: welding rails and curves, overhauling lifters, refurbishing pins and bushings in series, cleaning conductor rails.
In-house fabrication instead of lead times
Our own workshop in Rodgau with metalwork, welding and a milling machine. If a part is no longer available, we make it.
Everything from a single source
Mechanics, electrics and welding in the same team – no losses at the interfaces, no waiting between trades.
- Services
What we take on in automotive & mechanical engineering
From a single repair in the shutdown window to a complete plant relocation – for plants as well as for special-purpose machine builders, with a clear interface to your specialist trades.
This also includes assembly automation systems: we install assembly lines, automation cells and handling systems at the end customer's site, relocate them and dismantle them. They are designed, built and commissioned by the manufacturer – we are the crew that gets them into place.
Electric overhead conveyors
Maintenance, repair welding on rails and lifters, series refurbishment of pins and bearings – our speciality for over 15 years.
Lift & Shift
Moving machines and plant in, relocating them and taking them out – including where the building was long since built around the machine.
Plant conversion in existing facilities
Test rigs, paint lines, assembly lines, assembly automation and conveyor technology: converting, extending, raising – planned during live operations, carried out in the window.
Mechanics & electrics
Mechatronics technicians in the team: installation up to the main switch, adjusting sensors, setting end positions, supervising the test run.
Crane technology
Crane runways, suspension cranes, gantry and overhead travelling cranes – installed, replaced, modernised, including conductor rail and support during acceptance.
Custom fabrication
Reinforcement plates, fitting pieces, impact protection: what can no longer be bought, we make in our own workshop.
- Industry comparison
Every industry has its own rhythm
A maintenance window in the automotive industry follows different rules than one in logistics or food production. Anyone who does not know the difference plans past the operation.
The weekend window
Production in two or three shifts, shutdown only at weekends or during plant holidays. Systems such as overhead conveyors accumulate hundreds of thousands of load cycles a year.
The night between two peaks
Sorting systems and loading technology run at their limit seasonally. Repairs often happen during the day shift on a running line – or in a few night-time hours.
Between two cleaning cycles
Hygiene and cleaning set the rhythm. Hall air carrying sugar or flour attacks equipment that runs for years without trouble elsewhere.

- Frequently asked questions
Automotive & mechanical engineering: answered directly
Do you work during live production?
Yes, where occupational safety allows. Preparatory work, repairs on isolated sections and installation above cordoned-off areas run in parallel with production. Work on load-bearing parts, lifters and switches, on the other hand, needs a genuine shutdown window.
At how short notice can you take on a weekend window?
For planned windows we need lead time for procurement and prefabrication – ideally two to three weeks. For emergencies we can be reached by WhatsApp & phone and are usually on site within a day in the Rhine-Main region.
Do you also handle the electrics or only the mechanics?
Both. Our mechatronics technicians install up to the main switch, adjust sensors and end positions and supervise the test run. The mains connection and the formal acceptance are usually handled by your in-house electricians or an inspector.
What do you do when a spare part is no longer available?
We make it. In our workshop in Rodgau we do metalwork, welding and milling – from reinforcement plates and fitting pieces to a face-milled gearbox flange. On systems over 15 years old this is often the only route that fits into the maintenance window.
Which regions do you operate in?
We are based in Rodgau near Frankfurt – in the Rhine-Main region we are on site quickly, from Offenbach via Hanau and Aschaffenburg to Darmstadt and Mainz. For plant conversions, machinery relocations and factory relocations we work nationwide.
Do you have experience with the safety requirements of large manufacturers?
Yes. We regularly work under plant rules with access control, work permits and documented risk assessments – the same system we know from data centers and Frankfurt Airport. Our own EHS standard is set out in writing.
- Other service areas
At home in several industries
We work outside these nine areas too. They show our team’s core subjects, cover a wide range and make clear what is possible. If your business or your plant does not appear here, simply get in touch – we find a solution for everyone.
