Turnkey site services for elevating equipment including rigging, mechanical/electrical assembly, start-up, functional testing, and hand‑over. CECA provides guidance and industry best-practice templates for installers and contractors to ensure safe, code‑compliant installations that minimize downtime and support warranty activation.

Installation & Field Services covers the end-to-end deployment of manufactured equipment at a customer’s site. Scope includes inbound logistics and rigging, mechanical and electrical assembly, precision alignment, calibration, functional testing, safety certification, operator hand-over, and warranty support. The offering ensures the system meets OEM performance targets under actual site conditions while minimising downtime and risk.

Installation & Field Services

A Modernization Survey evaluates existing electrical and mechanical systems to determine upgrade potential for improved efficiency, control, or compliance. It includes assessments of motors, drives, control systems, and mechanical assemblies.

Modernization Survey

On-Site Repairs & Maintenance provides rapid mechanical, electrical, and controls troubleshooting plus component replacement at the customer’s facility—eliminating rig-out delays. Mobile technicians restore equipment to OEM performance through root-cause analysis, precision machining or welding in situ, alignment verification, and validated restart procedures.

On-Site Repairs & Maintenance

Preventive and condition-based maintenance frameworks, templates and recommended logging (MCP) to help contractors reduce unplanned outages and plan repairs. CECA-curated documents and guidance align maintenance activities with diagnostic techniques and asset‑health practices used by service organizations.

Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Services involve structured activities that proactively monitor the condition of machinery to prevent unplanned failures. Techniques such as vibration analysis, ultrasonic testing, thermography, oil analysis, brush surveys, and motor circuit evaluation are applied to detect signs of wear, misalignment, imbalance, overheating, or lubrication issues. These insights enable condition-based maintenance scheduling, improve equipment reliability, and extend the operational lifespan of assets. The service is widely used across manufacturing facilities for motors, pumps, gearboxes, conveyor systems, and automated production lines.

Preventive & Predictive Maintenance

Structured on‑site training covering machine operation, maintenance tasks and safety procedures, culminating in hand‑over documentation.

Operator Training & Handover

Assessments and retrofit planning to modernize elevating devices—surveys evaluate electrical, mechanical and controls to identify upgrade paths, compliance gaps and digital/control conversions. CECA shares recommended performance tools and modernization guidance to support life‑extension and efficiency projects.

Upgrades legacy straighteners, feeders or cutters with new servo drives, safety PLCs and IoT sensors, extending operational life.

Equipment Rebuild & Retrofit Support

Modernization & Retrofit Surveys

Structured training, apprenticeship support and operator/technician competency resources to raise field proficiency. CECA provides apprenticeship flowcharts, links to training programs, and recommended curricula that help contractors staff certified elevating‑device mechanics and meet regulatory competence requirements.

Training, Certification & Handover

Technical documentation, code submittals, and regulatory guidance for elevating device projects. CECA publishes templates, recommended documentation practices and links to provincial AHJs to simplify permit-submittal and code‑compliance tasks for contractors and building owners.

Technical documentation and regulatory services deliver complete design-history files, user manuals, regulatory submissions (FDA, CE, UL) and PPAP/ISIR packages. Specialists ensure compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 820 and customer-specific standards.

Technical Documentation & Regulatory

Generation of stamped drawings, calculations, and regulatory paperwork (UL, CE, NEC, Seismic, Buy-America) required for project approvals and building-permit packages.

Compliance & Submittal Documentation Service

Technical Documentation & Regulatory Support

Secondary operations and value‑added services supporting elevating device contractors: on‑site repairs, rapid mobilisation, spare‑parts guidance, and administrative tools such as maintenance logbooks and supplier directories. CECA curates practical resources that help members deliver faster field service outcomes.

Secondary Operations & Value-Added Services

Centers on the design, fabrication, installation, and servicing of vertical and inclined transportation systems. Ensures safety, smooth operation, and compliance with building codes (EN 81, ASME A17).

Elevators & Escalators

Structural steel, prefabricated assemblies, HVAC modules, and envelope systems supplied to residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. ASTM / ICC code compliance and BIM-ready data enable efficient, high-quality building delivery.

Construction Products & Building Materials

Canadian Elevator Contractors Association represents and supports contractors who design, install, modernize, maintain and service elevators and escalators, including precision-machined components, fabricated car and door assemblies, automation/control system integration, and on-site assembly used in building vertical-transportation systems compliant with CSA B44 / ASME A17 safety codes.

The Canadian Elevator Contractors Association (CECA) is a non-profit trade organization representing independent elevator contractors and vertical lift suppliers across Canada. Established in 1972, CECA provides member services, industry advocacy, liaison with labour organizations, information sharing, and training events to support safe, compliant elevator installation, maintenance, and inspection practices. CECA organizes regional meetings, specialist committees, and member resources aimed at improving technical standards, employer-employee relations, and the professional welfare of the vertical-transport industry.

National trade association office serving Canadian elevator contractors. The site lists mailing and street address with a P.O. Box and provides phone contact for membership and inquiries; specific facility functions (e.g., manufacturing, distribution) are not stated on the source and therefore set to describe the office-level role only.
