From counterweights and boom sections to full machinery relocations, our crews and equipment work together to complete complex crane and rigging operations safely and on schedule.
Our teams share planning, communication, and scheduling throughout the job. CEI handles the lift and rigging work while Starrett manages transport, allowing equipment to be moved in the correct sequence without delays or gaps between crews.

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.

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.
Crane & Rigging Support Transport
As part of the CEI family, we support crane operations with reliable transport for counterweights, boom sections, outrigger pads, and jobsite accessories. Our integration with rigging crews ensures smooth movement between lifts, sites, and staging areas. When crane teams need dependable support they can count on, we’re the partner they call.
