Ogden, Utah / Weber County
Industrial Repair Services, Industrial Rigging, and Heavy Machinery Movers in Ogden, Utah
Ogden runs on machinery. Walk the Business Depot Ogden campus on a weekday morning and you will hear presses cycling, conveyors running, and forklifts working through pallets that came off I-15 an hour earlier. Head south along Wall Avenue or east toward the shops off Riverdale Road and it is the same story, just at a different scale. Weber County has been an industrial town since the rail yards at Union Station made it one, and the equipment that keeps it that way does not get a day off.
Intermountain Machinery Service keeps that equipment turning. We provide industrial repair services, industrial rigging, and heavy machinery moving throughout Ogden and northern Utah, and we do it with our own crews, our own rigging equipment, and our own trucks. When a press goes down before first shift, when a production line has to be relocated across the plant floor over a weekend, or when a new CNC machine shows up on a flatbed at 7 a.m. and someone has to unload it, set it, and level it before Monday, we are the crew Ogden operations call.
Industrial equipment repair, rigging, and machinery transport are three different trades, and most companies pick one. We do all three, which means one crew, one schedule, and one accountable phone number protecting your productivity instead of three vendors pointing at each other while your line sits idle.

Repair
Industrial Repair Services in Ogden
Downtime is the expensive part. Not the broken part, the waiting. Our industrial repair services are built around getting your machine back into production fast, with quality parts and skilled technicians who have seen the failure before.
Our machine repair services cover the full range of equipment repair work an Ogden industrial operation depends on, and our experienced technicians handle industrial machinery repair across nearly every machine type on the plant floor:
Repair bay
Industrial machine repair and rebuilds
Full teardown, inspection, and reassembly of industrial machines that have run past their service window. We rebuild presses, die cutters, book binders, paper cutters, balers, bundling machinery, and material handling systems, restoring tolerances rather than patching around them.
Mechanical repair and mechanical failures
Bearings, gearboxes, drive trains, couplings, and shafts. When mechanical failures shut down a production line in Ogden, our machine techs diagnose the root cause instead of swapping the part that broke last.
Electrical repairs and industrial electronic repair
Control panel troubleshooting, industrial motors, servo motor replacement, power supply diagnostics, drives, and industrial electromechanical components. Electronic repair on industrial electronic equipment is bench work as much as floor work, and we use proper electrical inspection tools and follow industry standards on every electrical repair we touch.
Hydraulic repair and pneumatic systems
Cylinders, valves, pumps, and compressed air systems. Hydraulic repair on presses and press brakes is some of the most common repair work we do for Ogden manufacturers.
Machine tool repair and CNC machines
Machine tool alignment, way surface work, and repair service for both CNC machines and manual equipment. We also handle machine qualification and machine upgrades so an older machine tool can hold spec on current work.
Conveyors and production line repair
Belt, roller, and chain conveyors take a beating in Ogden distribution facilities. We repair drives, tracking, guarding, and transitions, and we do it in the window between shifts whenever the schedule allows.
Welding, fabrication, and machine shop work
Our machine shop and fabrication capability means we can make the part rather than wait on it. Welding and fabrication in carbon steel and stainless steel, custom brackets, guards, steel machinery bases and frames, and replacement parts machined to your print. For food and beverage operations along the Wasatch Front, stainless steel fabrication that meets sanitary requirements is a regular request.
Parts, consumables, and strategic sourcing
We are a versatile supplier as well as a repair company. Machine consumables, replacement parts, and hard to source components come through our supply chain management and strategic sourcing process, so your maintenance team is not chasing a discontinued part across three time zones.
Documented, tested, handed back
Every industrial repair we perform is documented, tested under load, and handed back with notes your maintenance staff can actually use.
Scheduled service
Preventative maintenance
Preventative Maintenance That Protects Ogden Production Schedules
The cheapest repair is the one you scheduled. Our preventative maintenance programs are written around your operation, not a generic checklist.
Preventive maintenance contracts include scheduled inspections, lubrication, alignment verification, wear tracking, and a downtime mitigation assessment that ranks your equipment by what a failure would actually cost you. For an Ogden facility running a single production line, that assessment usually pays for itself the first time it flags a bearing before it seizes.
Our maintenance services also cover:
- Scheduled preventive maintenance visits timed around your shifts
- Precision leveling and alignment checks to manufacturing tolerances
- Field service and production support during ramp ups and seasonal peaks
- Spare parts planning so critical components sit on your shelf, not on a truck
- Machinery sales and equipment replacement guidance when a rebuild no longer makes sense
Operational efficiency comes from equipment that runs the way it did the day it was commissioned. Maintenance is how you get there, and the industry experience behind our millwright services is how you know what to look at first.
Rigging
Industrial Rigging in Ogden, Utah
Industrial rigging is where experience shows. Setting a 40,000 pound press through a dock door with eight inches of clearance is not a job for a crew that rigs occasionally, and Ogden has enough older brick and block buildings, tight loading areas, and low viaduct clearances near Union Station that occasional is not good enough.
IMS provides industrial rigging services throughout Weber County, including heavy industrial rigging and specialized rigging for equipment other rigging contractors turn down. Our riggers are full time industrial rigging professionals, not a general labor crew borrowed for the day, and our rigging service professionals handle:
Lift plan in motion
Expert rigging project planning
Every rigging project starts on paper. Load paths, floor loading calculations, dock access, door clearances, and lift plans get worked out before a single piece of rigging equipment leaves the yard. We coordinate permits with UDOT and Weber County when a rigging job requires an oversized load on I-15, US-89, or Highway 39.
Heavy rigging and heavy equipment rigging
Skates, gantries, jacking and skidding systems, hydraulic gantry lifts, and Versa-Lifts for heavy equipment rigging inside buildings where a crane cannot reach.
Crane rigging and mobile crane service
We coordinate crane service, crane rental, and mobile crane service for lifts that need to go over a roofline or through a knocked out wall panel. Crane rigging around Ogden gets interesting when canyon winds come down out of Ogden Canyon in the afternoon, which is one more reason our rigging contractors plan lifts for the morning whenever the schedule allows.
Seamless machinery installation and equipment installation
Rigging is only half the job. We set, shim, grout, level, and align, holding leveling tolerances tight enough for precision manufacturing work. Our machinery installation scope includes anchoring, utility tie in coordination, and startup support.
Heavy equipment loading and forklift moving service
Heavy equipment loading and unloading at your dock or ours, including forklift moving service for machines that need to travel across a facility rather than across the state. Heavy equipment moving is as much about the first six inches off the trailer as it is about the miles in between.
Electrical transformer moving services
Transformers, switchgear, and substation components moved and set with the care that kind of equipment demands.
Additional rigging services
Custom crate building, machinery layouts, machinery foundations, concrete foundation work, CAD work and design, and equipment layout and production flow mapping. If the machine is going somewhere new, we can tell you whether the floor will take it before you sign the purchase order.
Our riggers work to industry standards on every rigging job, and safety planning is not a form we fill out afterward. It is the first hour of the project. Ask about our rigging services when you are still choosing the machine, not after it is sitting on your dock.
Machinery moving
Heavy Machinery Movers Serving Ogden and Northern Utah
Moving industrial machinery is a logistics problem, an engineering problem, and a timing problem at once. As heavy machinery movers based in Utah, IMS handles all three under one contract instead of leaving you to coordinate three vendors who have never worked together. Specialized machinery moving is a trade of its own, and moving equipment safely starts with knowing exactly where a machine wants to be picked up. We also coordinate directly with your general contractors and electricians so the machine is live the day it lands.
Our machinery moving services cover:
Manufacturing plant relocation
Complete plant relocation from disassembly through final manufacturing equipment installation and startup. Whether you are moving from an aging building near 21st Street into new space at BDO, consolidating operations from Salt Lake City up to Ogden, or expanding into a second facility in Clearfield, we sequence the move so the fewest possible machines are down at once.
In house machinery moving
Reconfiguring a production line, opening floor space for a new cell, or shifting a machine ten feet to clear a new conveyor run. Industrial equipment moving inside a live plant is its own discipline and we do a lot of it.
Equipment relocation and industrial moving services
Single machine moves, multi machine moves, and full department relocations, including disassembly, protective packing, equipment transport, and reinstallation.
Machinery transport across the Intermountain West
Flatbed, step deck, and oversized load transport, Conex loading and container transport, and hot shot runs when a part or a machine has to be somewhere today. Ogden sits right on I-15 and close to US-89, which makes it one of the easier places in the West to stage a long haul move.
Machinery we move regularly
Sheetfed and web offset printing presses, die cutters, book binders, paper cutters, hose manufacturing equipment, balers, bundling machinery, conveyors, trim systems, CNC and manual machine tools, press brakes, flexo presses, filling machinery, storage tanks, brewery tanks, compressors, transformers, pumps, and lasers.
If your equipment does not appear on that list, it almost certainly still falls inside what we handle. Call and describe it.

Whatever the industries, the equipment has the same requirement. It has to run.
Why IMS
Why Ogden Operations Work With IMS
One company, comprehensive solutions. Repair, rigging, moving, fabrication, machine shop work, transport, and preventative maintenance under one roof. More about IMS and how the crews are built.
Our crews, our equipment
We know the buildings here.
Ogden has beautiful old industrial stock and a lot of it was never designed for a 30 ton machine. We have worked in enough of these buildings to know where the floors are thin and where the doorway that looks wide enough is not.
We know the weather here.
January inversions, spring runoff along the Weber River, and afternoon wind out of the canyon all affect rigging schedules and transport windows. We plan around them instead of finding out the hard way.
One company, comprehensive solutions.
Repair, rigging, moving, fabrication, machine shop work, transport, and preventative maintenance under one roof. Our support capabilities were built to cover an entire industrial manufacturing project end to end, so fewer handoffs means fewer things fall between contractors.
We build the scope around your specific needs.
Two Ogden plants running identical machines rarely have identical problems. We scope every industrial service around your production goals, your shift schedule, and the opportunities we see to buy you uptime rather than around a package we already had printed.
Technical expertise that shows up in the details.
Our millwrights hold leveling tolerances down to .02mm as a standard, not as an upcharge, because a machine that is not level does not make good parts and will not stay repaired.
Fast response across northern Utah.
From our Utah base we reach Ogden, Roy, Clearfield, Layton, and Brigham City quickly for equipment repair calls, and our riggers cover the wider Intermountain West from there.
Straight answers on cost and schedule.
You get a scope, a timeline, and a number. If something changes on site, you hear about it that day.
