Clear Process: from dispatch → pickup → delivery
Heavy Haul
Transportation Services
When the load is oversized, overweight, or beyond standard limits, Starrett is the carrier that delivers without hesitation. We move large machinery, industrial equipment, and tall or wide freight using lowboys, RGNs, step decks, and multi-axle configurations. Every haul includes full permit handling, pilot car coordination, and detailed route planning to ensure safe, compliant, on-time delivery. If it requires precision, experience, and the right equipment, it’s what we do best.
Specialized Transportation Services
Some freight can’t be tarped, tilted, exposed to weather, or handled like general cargo. Our specialized transport solutions, including Conestoga trailers, box trailers, and enclosed configurations, provide secure, weather-protected movement for high-value, fragile, or precision components. From sensitive manufacturing equipment to crated and oversized assemblies, we ensure professional handling from pickup to final positioning.
Expedited & Time-Critical Delivery Services
When timing is non-negotiable, our dispatch team moves fast. We provide same-day and next-day delivery, team-driver service for long-haul deadlines, and rapid response for breakdowns or emergency part transport. With 24/7 availability and a no-excuses approach, we keep projects running, machinery online, and schedules intact.
24/7 Courier Service
For smaller components, fragile items, or urgent machine parts, our courier service provides straight-through transport at any hour of the day. Whether it’s after-hours shipments, tight maintenance windows, or critical plant support, we deliver securely and directly from door to door, no transfer, no delay.
Project-Based Industrial Moves
Major industrial moves demand planning, sequencing, and coordination, not just trucks. Our team supports multi-load relocations, production line moves, and staged deliveries for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and industrial operations. We manage equipment staging, loading coordination, communication, and timing so your operation continues without interruption.

Mining and Industrial Machinery FAQs
Moving large industrial machinery requires planning, communication, and proper equipment selection. These common questions help explain how we support mining and heavy industrial operations.
We evaluate the dimensions, weight, and center of gravity of the machinery before selecting the trailer type. Our team uses reinforced securement points, balanced loading practices, and verified routing to ensure the equipment moves safely without stress or shifting. Each move is reviewed for bridge clearances and roadway limitations to protect both the load and the route.
Yes. We regularly support machinery moves to quarries, plants, industrial work zones, and remote sites that require specialized access. Our dispatch team coordinates delivery timing, crew communication, and route conditions to ensure your machinery reaches the worksite without interruption to your operation.
We coordinate multi-load projects by scheduling machinery in the order required for removal, replacement, or repair.

Delivering Critical Equipment
on a Compressed Timeline
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s Lawton plant conducts an annual shutdown to perform maintenance and install new machinery—an operation where every hour counts. With production downtime costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, the company only works with contractors who have proven expertise. For this year’s calendar roll change, Goodyear brought in CEI Crane & Rigging, a team trusted for its precision and experience.
A crew of ten—including foremen, millwrights, operators, and riggers—arrived on-site under an extremely tight deadline. What is typically a six-day, two-pass calendar roll replacement needed to be completed in just four days. Despite the aggressive timeline, CEI executed the work with the speed and coordination the project demanded.
In the end, CEI finished the entire project in two and a half days—less than half the standard time. Goodyear mechanical engineer Fernando Valencia called the performance “phenomenal,” noting that the accelerated completion even allowed his team additional time for quality assurance and troubleshooting before production resumed.
CEI’s millwright foreman emphasized that the success was due to the skill and experience of the entire crew, who delivered results far beyond expectations. For projects where timing, precision, and experience matter, CEI continues to be the team Goodyear relies on.
