One Team For Crane, Rigging, Heavy Haul and Industrial Services

Operated Crane Services
Partner For Any Size Project

CEI supports operated crane service by confirming scope, setup space, access constraints, and time windows before the crane arrives. The focus is safe setup, controlled work areas, and lifting support that stays aligned with the schedule for one-day picks or multi-phase projects.

Lift Planning

Operated Crane Rental
With Riggers and 3D Lift Plans

Crane work runs smoothly when setup, access, and lift timing are confirmed before mobilization. CEI clarifies what is being lifted, how it will be set, and what the site allows so the right crane class and crew arrive ready.

What CEI Handles For Operated Crane Services?

CEI confirms the lift scope, crane class, setup requirements, and site constraints, then coordinates arrival and execution with your team. When required, we align rigging, lift trucks, transport timing, and work zones so the lift supports site progress and does not create delays.

What Changes Cost And Scheduling The Most?

The biggest drivers are load weight and radius, setup space, ground conditions, access limitations, overhead restrictions, time windows, and any special site requirements. Sharing these early helps confirm the right crane class and prevents day of lift changes.

What Depends On Scope Or Site Conditions?

Lift path changes, limited setup space, ground bearing requirements, restricted access, and tight time windows can change the approach. CEI confirms responsibilities and constraints during planning so expectations are clear before scheduling.

What To Expect

How CEI Executes
Operated Crane Services

CEI confirms lift details and site constraints before work starts, then coordinates setup and execution so work zones stay controlled and lifts stay aligned with the schedule. The focus is safe setup, clear communication on site, and reliable completion.

Confirm Scope
& Constraints

We confirm what is being lifted, pick and set locations, lift radius, access limitations, and the time window that matters.

Build The Crane And Setup Plan

We select the crane class and configuration based on the lift requirements and confirm setup needs such as mats, positioning, and site flow.

Execute With Site Coordination

We coordinate setup, lifting, and placement while maintaining controlled work zones and clear communication with the site team.

Closeout
And Next Steps

We confirm completion and align any follow-on lifts, staged deliveries, or next-phase work if the project continues.

Common Scenarios

Common Crane Service Jobs

These are common crane situations CEI supports with confirmed setup, controlled work zones, and lifting aligned to the jobsite schedule.

One-Day Picks

Steel, HVAC, And Jobsite Material Placement

Planned picks where lift timing, access, and work zones are confirmed so crews stay moving.

Tight Access

Controlled Lifts With Limited Setup Space

Lifts where setup constraints and overhead restrictions require the plan to be confirmed before the crane arrives.

Multi-Phase Projects

Scheduled Lifts For Infrastructure And Industrial Work

Lifts planned around time windows, deliveries, and site readiness so each phase stays organized and on schedule.

Before We Mobilize

Confirm The Lift Details
Before The Crane Arrives

For operated crane service, the fastest way to keep the schedule moving is confirming scope and site conditions up front. Share the details below and CEI will confirm the right crane class, setup requirements, access, and timing so the lift is executed safely and the work area stays controlled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Operated Crane Services

What’s Included With Operated Crane Services?

CEI provides the crane and certified operator with lift planning, setup coordination, and controlled execution aligned to site conditions. If rigging, lift trucks, or staged deliveries are required, those can be coordinated based on scope.

How Do You Select The Right Crane Class For The Job?

We confirm lift requirements such as weight, radius, setup space, and site constraints, then match the crane class and configuration to the lift so the job can be executed safely without oversizing equipment.

Do You Coordinate Work Around Tight Time Windows Or Shutdowns?

Yes. CEI confirms the time window and site readiness, then aligns crane scheduling and setup so lifts are completed within the required window and work areas stay controlled.

What Information Do You Need To Quote A Crane Lift?

Jobsite location, load weight and dimensions, pick and set details, lift radius, time window, and any access constraints. Photos, drawings, and a site contact help confirm the setup quickly.

Can You Support Both Short One-Day Picks And Long-Term Projects?

Yes. CEI supports one-day picks and multi-phase project work by aligning lift timing, site access, and equipment scheduling to the project plan and work zones on site.

When Do High Capacity Forklifts Make More Sense Than A Crane?

When access, load characteristics, or placement requirements call for controlled handling at ground level, high capacity forklifts can be the right tool. CEI confirms the best approach during planning based on the site conditions and the set requirement.
