Central Lift Maintenance Group successfully transitioned four new locations where they are performing lift equipment maintenance for CSX Intermodal. CLMG was awarded the multi-location contract in mid January and assumed maintenance and repair responsibilities on February 4th, 2010 in Detroit, Cincinnati, Charlotte and Savannah. The contract also included two locations in Chicago where CLMG remained the maintenance contractor at the Bedford Park and 59th Street terminals.

“We’re excited to have the opportunity to grow with CSXI” stated Chief Operating Officer, Dale Bartley. “I’m proud of all the hard work and dedication by the entire CLMG team that helped with simultaneously starting up four new operations, during which time there were no significant machine issues that impacted our customers operating capabilities”.

With the addition of the four new operations, CLMG now has a total of 17 locations throughout the United States.
