Lowboy Trailer Transport Glens Falls

Equipment That Shows Up Ready to Work

Your excavator arrives exactly where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. No damage from amateur handling. No surprise fees that weren’t discussed upfront. No delays that push back your entire timeline.

You get equipment moving that actually moves your project forward instead of creating new problems. Professional operators who understand that your machinery isn’t just metal and hydraulics – it’s how you make your living.

The difference shows up in details most companies miss. Proper tie-down techniques that protect hydraulic lines. Route planning that avoids low bridges and weight restrictions. Equipment inspections before and after transport so nothing gets blamed on you later.

Heavy Equipment Hauling Glens Falls NY

Three Counties of Local Equipment Moving Experience

We’ve been moving heavy equipment throughout the Glens Falls area since our logging days in 1997. We know these roads, these weight limits, and exactly which routes work for oversize loads.

This is a family business where Josh shows up to oversee the details that matter. We’re not running dozens of crews across multiple states – we’re focused on doing equipment moving right in Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties.

Your equipment gets the same careful attention we’d want for our own machinery. That means proper permits handled before pickup, experienced operators who know how to secure loads correctly, and realistic scheduling that accounts for local conditions.

Construction Equipment Transport Process

Straightforward Equipment Moving That Actually Works

We start with the details that prevent problems later. Equipment dimensions, weight, pickup and delivery access, any special handling requirements. This isn’t a quick phone estimate – we need to get the logistics right upfront.

Next comes route planning and permits. We handle DOT requirements, oversize permits, and coordinate with local authorities when needed. You don’t deal with regulatory paperwork or wonder if everything’s legal.

Loading day means professional operators with the right equipment for your machinery. Lowboy trailers for tall equipment, RGN trailers for easy ground loading, hydraulic tilt trailers when access is tight. We match the trailer to your specific equipment and site conditions.

Transport includes real-time updates so you know exactly where your equipment is. Professional drivers who understand they’re hauling your livelihood, not just another load. Delivery includes inspection and positioning where you need the equipment ready to work.

Specialized Equipment Moving Services

Complete Equipment Transport Solutions

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to large dozers and everything in between. Lowboy trailers handle tall equipment that won’t fit on standard flatbeds. RGN trailers with removable goosenecks make ground loading simple when you don’t have loading docks.

Landoll trailers with sliding axles give us flexibility for different weight distributions. Hydraulic tilt trailers work when loading angles are tight. We match the right trailer configuration to your specific equipment and site access.

In the Glens Falls area, we deal with everything from downtown delivery restrictions to rural sites with challenging access. Rocky terrain, seasonal weight limits on certain roads, bridge clearances that change your route options – local knowledge prevents delays and complications.

Oversize load transport includes pilot cars, proper signage, and coordination with local authorities. We handle the regulatory requirements so your equipment move stays legal and on schedule. Insurance coverage protects your equipment throughout the transport process.

What types of trailers do you use for different construction equipment?

We match trailer types to your specific equipment and site conditions. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment like excavators and bulldozers because the low deck height provides clearance under bridges while maintaining stability.

RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers are ideal when you need ground loading capability. The front detaches so equipment can drive directly onto the deck without ramps or loading docks. This works particularly well for tracked equipment and machinery that’s difficult to load conventionally.

Landoll trailers with sliding axles give us weight distribution flexibility for different equipment configurations. Hydraulic tilt trailers handle situations where loading angles are challenging or space is limited. We assess your equipment specifications and site access to recommend the right trailer configuration for safe, efficient transport.

We handle all DOT requirements, oversize permits, and local authority coordination as part of our service. This includes route surveys to identify bridge clearances, weight restrictions, and any road limitations that affect transport planning.

Permit applications go in early enough to avoid delays, and we maintain current relationships with local authorities in Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties. This local knowledge prevents surprise restrictions that could impact your timeline.

For loads requiring pilot cars or special routing, we coordinate those services and ensure proper signage and safety equipment. You don’t deal with regulatory paperwork or wonder about compliance – we handle the administrative details so your equipment move stays legal and on schedule.

Our pricing includes transport, basic permits, proper tie-down and securing, and delivery to your specified location. We provide upfront estimates that cover the actual costs so you can budget accurately without surprise fees.

Additional services like pilot cars for oversize loads, special routing requirements, or loading assistance are discussed during initial planning. We explain any additional costs upfront rather than adding charges after the fact.

Insurance coverage for your equipment during transport is included. We also handle basic positioning at delivery – getting your equipment where it needs to be ready for work, not just dropped at the property line.

For standard equipment moves within the region, we typically need 3-5 days notice to coordinate scheduling and any required permits. Rush jobs can sometimes be accommodated depending on current schedule and equipment availability.

Oversize loads requiring special permits or pilot cars need more lead time – usually 7-10 days to ensure proper regulatory approval and coordination. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment or challenging access may require additional planning time.

We recommend calling as soon as you know you’ll need equipment moved. Early scheduling gives us flexibility to work around weather conditions and ensures your equipment arrives when your project timeline requires it.

Yes, we handle loading and unloading as part of our equipment moving service. Our operators are experienced with different equipment types and use proper techniques to prevent damage during the loading process.

For equipment that can’t be driven onto trailers, we coordinate crane services or other lifting equipment as needed. This is particularly important for non-operational machinery or equipment that requires special handling.

We also provide basic positioning at the delivery site – getting your equipment where it needs to be ready for work rather than just unloading at the nearest accessible spot. Site access limitations are assessed during initial planning to ensure we can deliver where you actually need the equipment.

We primarily serve Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties, with Glens Falls as our central service area. This regional focus allows us to maintain detailed knowledge of local roads, weight restrictions, and permit requirements.

Our service area includes surrounding communities like Queensbury, Lake George, Saratoga Springs, and extends into Vermont border areas when needed. We know which routes work best for different types of equipment transport and can navigate local restrictions effectively.

For equipment moves outside our primary service area, we evaluate each request based on distance and logistics requirements. Our local expertise is most valuable within our established service region where we understand the specific challenges and requirements for equipment transport.
