Your equipment gets where it needs to go without the headaches that come with inexperienced transport. We handle everything from compact excavators to oversized construction machinery using the right trailer for each job.
You get transparent pricing upfront, proper permits handled professionally, and equipment that arrives in the same condition it left. No hidden fees, no regulatory delays, no damaged machinery eating into your project budget.
When your timeline matters and your equipment is expensive, you need transport that works the first time.
We’ve been moving equipment safely across Waterford, NY and the surrounding region since 1997. What started as a logging operation has grown into a full-service excavation and transport company that understands the real cost of delays and damage.
Josh personally oversees transport operations, ensuring your equipment gets the attention it deserves. We know the local routes, understand the permit requirements, and have the specialized trailers to handle everything from scissor lifts to 50-ton excavators.
This isn’t just another trucking company. We’re equipment people who happen to own the right trailers to move your machinery safely.
We start with the specs of your equipment and where it needs to go. Weight, dimensions, and any special handling requirements help us choose the right trailer and route.
Next comes permit coordination and route planning. We handle all the regulatory paperwork and identify the safest, most efficient path to your destination. If escorts are needed, we coordinate those too.
Loading happens with the proper equipment and techniques for your specific machinery. Whether it’s drive-on loading with our RGN trailers or crane-assisted loading for non-operational equipment, we use the right approach.
Transport follows our planned route with regular communication so you know where your equipment is and when it will arrive. Your equipment arrives secured, undamaged, and ready to get back to work.

Our fleet includes lowboy trailers for tall equipment, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for easy ground-level loading, and Landoll trailers with sliding axles for precise positioning. Each trailer type serves specific equipment and loading situations.
Waterford’s proximity to major construction markets means equipment often needs to move between job sites quickly. Our local knowledge of bridge heights, weight restrictions, and optimal routes through the Capital Region keeps your transport on schedule.
We handle the permit applications, route surveys, and escort coordination that many transport companies charge extra for. It’s all part of professional equipment moving in an area where regulations change between municipalities and every bridge has different clearance requirements.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, skid steers, scissor lifts, forklifts, pavers, compactors, and most construction machinery up to legal weight limits. Our lowboy trailers handle equipment up to 11 feet tall and 80,000 pounds total weight.
For taller equipment, we use specialized lowboy configurations that keep the overall height within legal limits. Non-operational equipment can be loaded with crane assistance, while operational machinery can drive onto our RGN trailers at ground level.
Each piece of equipment gets evaluated individually to determine the best trailer type and loading method. We won’t take on a transport unless we’re confident we can complete it safely and legally.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate escort vehicles when required. New York State requires permits for loads exceeding 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or 80,000 pounds gross weight.
Our experience with local and state regulations means we know which routes require special permits and which ones have seasonal restrictions. We submit permit applications early and track approval status to prevent delays.
Escort requirements depend on the size and route. We coordinate with certified pilot car services and ensure all escort vehicles meet state requirements. The cost of permits and escorts is included in your upfront quote—no surprises.
Proper securing starts with using the right tie-down points and appropriate chains or straps for each piece of equipment. We inspect all rigging before transport and use protective padding where chains contact painted surfaces.
Our drivers are experienced with heavy equipment transport and understand how different machines need to be secured. Hydraulic cylinders get retracted and locked, tracks get chained to prevent movement, and any loose components get additional securing.
We also perform pre-transport inspections and document the condition of your equipment with photos. This protects both you and us by establishing the equipment’s condition before transport begins.
Lowboy trailers have a low deck height for transporting tall equipment while staying within legal height limits. They’re ideal for excavators, bulldozers, and other equipment that would be too tall on a standard flatbed trailer.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that allows equipment to drive on at ground level. This eliminates the need for ramps and makes loading much easier for operational equipment.
Landoll trailers feature sliding axles that can be positioned for optimal weight distribution and hydraulic systems for precise loading angles. They’re particularly useful for equipment with ground clearance issues or when loading conditions are challenging.
For standard equipment transport within New York State, we typically need 2-3 days advance notice to secure permits and plan the route. Rush jobs can sometimes be accommodated with 24-48 hours notice, depending on permit requirements.
Oversize loads requiring special permits or escorts need more lead time—usually 5-7 days minimum. Some routes have seasonal restrictions or require coordination with utility companies for power line clearance.
Long-distance transport or moves involving multiple pieces of equipment benefit from even more advance planning. The more notice you can give us, the better we can coordinate scheduling and potentially reduce costs through efficient routing.
We serve Waterford, NY and the broader Capital Region, including Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties. Our transport services extend throughout upstate New York and into neighboring states when needed.
For Long Island transport, we coordinate with our network of qualified carriers to ensure your equipment gets professional handling throughout the journey. Local knowledge matters for both pickup and delivery locations.
Distance isn’t usually the limiting factor—it’s more about having the right permits and ensuring we can safely navigate both the origin and destination. We’ll evaluate each transport request individually and let you know if we can handle it directly or need to coordinate with other carriers.
