For Your Project
CEI supports work that ranges from a defined lift to multi-phase projects and ongoing site support. We coordinate planning, crews, equipment, and site requirements so the project stays organized, assets stay protected, and timelines stay on track. We show up prepared with the right equipment and the right crew the first time.
CEI supports projects throughout Ohio with flexible dispatch for regional and out-of-area work based on scope and scheduling. Share your jobsite location and timeline, we’ll confirm availability and provide the fastest path to execution.
CEI supports crane services, rigging, machinery moving, heavy transport, warehousing and staging, millwright, crating and shipping, and on-site fabrication and welding. Tell us about your project and we’ll confirm the right equipment, plan, and sequence before anything is dispatched.
CEI provides coordinated support under one plan keeping your lift, move, and schedule aligned. Whether it's a single lift or a multi-day operation, we scale crews and equipment to keep work moving without downtime from under-sizing or last-minute scheduling gaps.
Project Based Solutions
For Shutdowns, Relocations, & Complex Work
For shutdowns, relocations, and multi-phase work, CEI coordinates cranes, rigging, transport, and site requirements around one execution plan. The focus is sequencing, site flow, asset protection, and safe work from start to finish.
Logistics And Support
That Keeps Operations Moving
CEI supports recurring moves, storage needs, staging, and scheduling across sites and teams. The focus is predictable timing, controlled handling, and keeping equipment ready when the next phase begins.
Single Job Services
With Clear Coordination & Safe Execution
CEI supports lifts, moves, and handling where the scope is clear and the timeline matters. The focus is a safe plan, the right equipment, and site coordination that keeps the job moving.
Turnkey Services Under One Plan
CEI coordinates cranes, rigging, transport, and on-site support so projects stay organized from planning through completion. The focus is confirmed scope, controlled site flow, asset protection, and safe execution that stays aligned with the schedule.
Operated Crane Services
CEI supports operated crane service by planning the lift, confirming site conditions, selecting the right crane class, and coordinating execution with your team. The focus is safe setup, controlled work areas, and lifts that stay aligned with the schedule.
We confirm load weight and lift path, setup space, ground conditions, access constraints, and time windows. From there we select the crane class and configuration that fits the job so the lift can be executed safely without oversizing equipment or creating site delays.
Rigging And Machinery Moving
With Safe Placement And Site Flow
CEI supports rigging and machinery moving by evaluating the load, planning handling methods, and coordinating lifting, shifting, and placement with the right crews and equipment. The focus is keeping moves organized, protecting assets during handling, and maintaining safe work areas.
We coordinate lift points and handling methods, rigging and control, equipment positioning, and placement into final locations. If staging or transport is required, we align those steps so the move stays organized and does not create rehandling or downtime.
Heavy Haul And Transportation Support For High Requirement Loads
CEI supports heavy transport by matching loads to the correct trailer configuration and coordinating routing, permits, site access, and delivery timing. The focus is keeping deliveries aligned with site readiness, protecting equipment in transit, and executing safely at pickup and unload.
We need pickup and delivery locations, estimated weight and dimensions, and any site constraints like access limits or delivery windows. With that information we can confirm routing considerations, permit requirements, and the right trailer and axle configuration.
Plant Relocation And Project Execution
For Multi Phase Operations
CEI supports relocation and project execution by coordinating cranes, rigging, transport, staging, and site requirements around a phased plan. The focus is sequencing, maintaining site flow, protecting assets through each handoff, and completing work safely within shutdown or project windows.
We build a sequence that aligns equipment, crews, access, and staging with the site schedule. Each phase is planned around readiness and constraints so crews are not waiting on handoffs and work remains organized from removal through set and restart.
Warehousing, Staging, & Logistics
For Ongoing Support
CEI supports ongoing operations with storage, staging, and scheduling coordination that keeps equipment visible and ready when the next phase begins. The focus is controlled receiving and release, organized site flow, asset protection while stored, and safe handling during transfers.
Yes. We can coordinate receiving windows, document and stage equipment, and release it based on your project timing and site readiness. This keeps deliveries organized and reduces jobsite congestion and unplanned handling.
Fabrication, Welding, And Asset Recovery
For Industrial Worksites
CEI supports fabrication and welding when modifications, fit up, or repair work is required to keep a job moving safely. We also support asset recovery and removal work when equipment must be decommissioned or cleared from a site. The focus is controlled work areas, safe execution, and keeping schedules aligned when conditions change.
When equipment requires modification for handling, fit up for installation, or repair to support continued operation, welding support can be coordinated into the schedule. We align this work with lift and move steps so site flow stays organized and the job does not stall.
