We have put together a highly experienced team familiar with today’s power plant requirements. We not only design using the world’s most technologically advanced rack and pinion elevator components, but also look for economically feasible options. Our goal is to excel by saving you time and money.

Rental elevators for power plants

CEI’s brand new fleet of rental elevators is widely used in outages, plant additions and plant upgrades. Our goal is to help increase plant productivity through cost and time-saving elevator solutions.

This Century elevator operates in a coal generating plant. It not only meets but excels ANSI standards.
Operating outside a chimney, this is the smoothest operating elevator in the industry and has more cab space because operational devices are recessed or housed outside the cab.
Century Elevators offers a variety of equipment and models to meet your application and vertical transportation requirements.
This Century Elevator is an example of a precision fit. When there is little space, we have a solution, plus maintenance, parts and service.
Century Elevator is a one-stop resource to world's most technologically advanced rack and pinion elevator systems.
