When Mercy Hospital joined the Cleveland Clinic health system, Ellet Neon Sales and Service was brought in to install new building signage. After installation, the remaining scaffolding needed to be removed safely and efficiently, with minimal disruption to hospital operations. The signage company evaluated rigging and crane service providers across Ohio and selected CEI Crane & Rigging to handle the job. CEI supplied both the crane services and experienced personnel, completing the work in a timely manner.

The first step was selecting the right equipment for the project. A 45-ton boom truck was determined to be the best fit, drawing from CEI’s fleet, which ranges from 4-ton to 240-ton capacity. Along with the crane, CEI provided a certified operator and an experienced rigger to manage the rigging process. Both team members had worked together at CEI for years, allowing for efficient coordination and smooth execution. CEI also worked closely with the hospital and the signage company ahead of time, reviewing placement diagrams to ensure equipment positioning would not interfere with traffic flow.

By planning every detail in advance, CEI was able to remove the scaffolding safely while minimizing disruption to the hospital environment. The project reflected CEI’s approach of matching each job with the exact equipment and personnel required—no more and no less—giving customers confidence that the job would be handled correctly from start to finish.
