Heavy Equipment Moving Company Glenburnie NY

Twenty-Seven Years of Getting It Done Right

We’ve been serving Glenburnie and surrounding areas since 1997. We started as a logging operation, which means we’ve been moving heavy machinery longer than most companies have been in business.

Josh runs every job personally. When you hire us, you’re not getting some random crew – you’re getting the owner on site making sure your equipment gets moved right. His son joined as a partner in 2022, so this is truly a family operation that plans to be here for the long haul.

We transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, but we never stopped being the people you call when something heavy needs to move safely from point A to point B.

How much does it cost to move heavy equipment in Glenburnie NY?

Local heavy equipment moving in Glenburnie typically runs $300-500 for standard excavators and similar machinery within a 15-20 mile radius. The exact cost depends on your equipment’s weight, dimensions, and where it needs to go.

Distance matters most for pricing. Short local moves cost more per mile but less overall. Longer hauls spread the setup costs over more miles, so the per-mile rate drops.

We give you an exact quote upfront after looking at your specific situation. No ballpark estimates that turn into surprise bills later.

New York requires oversize/overweight permits for most heavy equipment moves. The specific permits depend on your equipment’s dimensions and weight, plus the route we’re taking.

We handle all permit applications for you. This includes DOT permits, county road permits, and any special routing requirements. Most permits take 3-5 business days to process, though some can be expedited for urgent moves.

Don’t try to move without proper permits. The fines start at $300 and go up fast. Plus, you could get stuck on the side of the road with no legal way to continue your move.

Most local heavy equipment moves in Glenburnie take 4-8 hours from start to finish, including loading, transport, and positioning. This assumes standard equipment and normal road conditions.

Permit processing adds 3-5 business days to the timeline before we can actually move your equipment. Rush permits are available for an additional fee if you’re on a tight deadline.

Weather can delay moves, especially in winter or during heavy rain. We won’t risk your equipment or our crew’s safety by moving in dangerous conditions. We’ll reschedule and get you moved as soon as it’s safe.

Yes, we carry full commercial insurance including cargo coverage for the equipment we transport. Our insurance covers your machinery from the moment we take possession until it’s positioned at the destination.

You’ll get a certificate of insurance before the move showing exactly what’s covered. Most equipment is covered up to its replacement value, though extremely high-value machinery might require additional coverage.

Keep your own insurance active during the move too. While our coverage is primary, having backup coverage protects you completely. Check with your insurance agent about coverage during transport.

Absolutely. Non-running equipment is actually easier to secure for transport since we don’t have to worry about it shifting gears or moving during loading. We handle dead equipment moves regularly.

Loading takes longer since we can’t drive it onto the trailer. We use winches and specialized loading equipment to get non-operational machinery positioned safely. This adds some time and cost to the move.

Make sure to tell us upfront if your equipment doesn’t run. We need to bring different equipment and plan extra time for loading. Surprising us on moving day creates delays and extra costs.

We can handle most standard construction and agricultural equipment including large excavators, bulldozers, and similar machinery up to about 80,000 pounds. Anything bigger requires special permitting and equipment.

For oversized loads, we work with specialized heavy haul carriers who have the right trailers and experience. We coordinate the entire move but bring in the right equipment for truly massive machinery.

The key is planning ahead. Super-heavy moves require route surveys, bridge weight checks, and sometimes utility line clearance. These moves can take weeks to plan properly, so don’t wait until the last minute.
