Equipment Hookups & Relocations

Safe, Efficient, and Code- Compliant Machine Moves and Installations

Moving or adding equipment doesn’t have to disrupt production.
At The Wire Nuts, we specialize in industrial equipment hookups and relocations that keep your facility operating smoothly — with safety, precision, and minimal downtime.

Whether you’re upgrading a production line, expanding operations, or rearranging your floor layout, our experienced electricians handle every detail so your equipment is powered up and production-ready the moment you need it.

Turnkey Electrical Support for Machinery Moves

Relocating equipment is more than disconnecting and reconnecting wires — it’s about understanding your system’s full electrical requirements and ensuring compliance with Wisconsin industrial code.

Our licensed electricians provide end-to-end service:

  • Safe Equipment Disconnects – Isolate and de-energize machinery following OSHA lockout/tagout (LOTO) standards.

  • Power Supply Modifications – Adjust conduit, feeders, and circuit loads for the new layout.

  • Machine Re-Hookups – Reconnect motors, controls, and sensors with tested, labeled wiring.

  • Panel & Control Integration – Tie into existing distribution and control panels for seamless system operation.

  • Startup Assistance – Verify rotation, voltage, and safety interlocks before your team runs the line.

Industrial Equipment We Commonly Service

We’ve worked in manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, fabrication shops, and distribution centers across southeastern Wisconsin.
Common hookups and relocations include:

  • CNC machines, mills, and lathes

  • Presses, conveyors, and packaging lines

  • Compressors and pumps

  • Industrial ovens and mixers

  • Automation systems and robotics

  • Material handling and welding stations

Plant Expansions & Layout Changes

When your business grows, your electrical infrastructure needs to grow with it.
We partner with facility managers and production supervisors to plan and execute expansions with minimal impact to daily operations.

Our process includes:

  • Site walk-through and power mapping

  • Load calculations for added equipment

  • Conduit routing and new circuit installation

  • Coordination with mechanical and production teams

  • Phased installations to avoid full shutdowns

Code Compliance & Safety First

Every hookup or relocation we perform meets Wisconsin electrical code, NFPA 70E, and OSHA 1910 safety standards.
Our electricians use proper PPE, lockout/tagout procedures, and detailed labeling so your maintenance staff stays safe long after we leave.

You’ll receive as-built documentation after completion, detailing:

  • Circuit numbers and breaker locations

  • Load specifications

  • Connection schematics (as applicable)

  • Inspection and testing notes

This ensures long- term traceability and simplifies future maintenance.
