Boosting Job Site Safety and Efficiency with Heavy-Duty Assemblies


In the demanding world of construction, masonry, and industrial material handling, the difference between a productive day and a costly delay often comes down to the quality of your equipment. When you are moving hundreds of pounds of concrete or lifting personnel to high-reach areas, "good enough" simply doesn't cut it. You need equipment engineered for the rigors of the field.


At Hawley Services, we specialize in precision-engineered assemblies that bridge the gap between heavy-duty durability and practical job site functionality. Based in West Michigan, our team brings over 15 years of experience to the fabrication of tools that help West Michigan contractors get the job done safely.


Heavy Duty Assemblies from Hawley Services


Versatility in Material Handling


Efficiency starts with having the right attachment for the machine you already own. Whether you are operating a forklift or a skid steer, specialized assemblies can transform a standard vehicle into a precision tool.

  • The Concrete Solution: For those in concrete and masonry, the Heavy Duty Skid Steer 3/4 Yard Concrete Hopper is a game-changer. Designed for easy attachment, it allows for controlled pouring of cement in tight spots where a full truck can’t reach, significantly reducing manual labor and spill waste.

  • Logistics & Lifting: Moving heavy, awkward loads requires more than just raw power; it requires reach. The Heavy Duty Jib Boom Forklift Telescoping Attachment offers a 4,000lbs. capacity, allowing operators to extend their reach and place loads with pinpoint accuracy.


Elevating Job Site Safety: The Man Basket


Safety isn’t just a checkbox; it’s the foundation of a successful operation. One of the most critical assemblies for any high-reach project is the safety cage or "man basket." Using makeshift platforms is a massive liability and a significant safety risk.

Hawley Services offers a range of Heavy Duty Man Baskets designed to meet various capacity needs:


  1. The 350lb Capacity Cage: Perfect for single-worker tasks and quick maintenance jobs.

  2. The 850lb Capacity Safety Cage: A robust option for multiple workers and their tools.

  3. Side Fork Accessible Options: For sites with unique spatial constraints, the Side Fork Accessible 850lb Man Basket provides maximum flexibility for forklift operators, ensuring you can get into position safely regardless of the approach angle.


Built in the West Michigan, For West Michigan


There is a distinct advantage to sourcing your assemblies from a local manufacturer. At Hawley Services, we understand the environment our products work in. From the "Mud Tub" Mortar Boxes that survive freezing Michigan winters to the robotic welding used to ensure every seam on our safety cages is flawless, our quality is a point of pride.

Our capabilities extend beyond what you see on the shelf. While our standard assemblies cover the most common job site needs, we are a full-service fabrication shop. Our services include:

  • CNC Cutting & Bending

  • Robotic and Manual Welding

  • Custom Manufacturing


If your project requires a unique specification that isn't met by a standard hopper or boom, our team can work with you to create Custom Assemblies tailored to your specific operational requirements.


Ready to Upgrade Your Fleet?


Investing in high-quality assemblies is an investment in your crew’s safety and your company’s bottom line. By reducing the time spent on manual material handling and ensuring your team is working from stable, engineered platforms, you increase your competitive edge on every bid.
