Expert Handling of Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing Machinery
The Walker Brothers team has decades of experience helping the aerospace and defense industries safely navigate the challenges of transporting, moving, installing, and calibrating manufacturing equipment and components of all types.
Our crews have partnered with defense contractors on projects of various sizes and scopes. We help them manage logistics, storage, moving and rigging, set up, and installation of critical machining equipment for landing gear, interiors, instrumentation, and engines.
We’ve handled everything from digitizers, 3D printing equipment, and CNC machines to moving a 450,000-pound space shuttle.
We also have an eye for cost-effective transportation solutions that help our defense industry customers get where they need to go on time and on budget, with safety as the top priority.
Supporting Complex Aerospace Manufacturing, Facility Changes, and Equipment Relocations
Southern California’s defense and aerospace manufacturing sector operates under demanding production timelines, strict compliance standards, and tight floor plans. Walker Brothers delivers precision machinery moving, heavy rigging, and specialized transport tailored to cleanrooms, high-bay assembly plants, and defense facilities across Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire.
Machinery Moving and Rigging
Walker Brothers can move and position CNC machines, 3D printing equipment, digitizers, and other aerospace manufacturing equipment within or between facilities. Our experienced crews can handle the delicate rigging and positioning required for machinery relocations, production line changes, facility expansions, and equipment upgrades.
Specialized Transportation
Transporting oversized flight hardware, tooling fixtures, and specialized defense machinery between SoCal suppliers, test facilities, and assembly plants requires meticulous route planning. Along with our fleet of specialized heavy haul equipment, our team manages all permitting, municipal route clearances, and local escorts to move your high-value assets securely.
Equipment Installation and Millwright Services
Getting new manufacturing assets production-ready demands accurate anchoring and setting. Our millwrights handle the unbolting, leveling, soleplate mounting, and structural re-assembly for heavy aerospace production lines, ensuring your equipment transitions smoothly into active manufacturing.
