When your construction timeline depends on getting heavy machinery where it needs to go, you need more than just someone with a truck. You need machinery movers who understand what’s actually at stake.
Your excavator, bulldozer, or specialized equipment represents serious money. Damage during transport doesn’t just cost you repairs – it stops your entire project while you wait for fixes or replacements. Meanwhile, your crew sits idle and your deadline slips.
We handle heavy equipment transport throughout North Creek with the care your investment deserves. Professional rigging, proper securement, and route planning that accounts for local road conditions. Your machinery arrives ready to work, and your project stays moving forward.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving North Creek and surrounding areas since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation and machinery transport when Josh’s son joined as partner in 2022.
We’re not some large corporation with rotating crews. Josh is present on almost every job, ensuring the quality that comes from personal accountability. When you work with us, you’re dealing directly with the owners who built this business on relationships.
Equipment ownership means we control scheduling and availability. No waiting for rental companies or subcontractors to show up. When we commit to your timeline, we have the machinery and crews to deliver on that commitment.
Every machinery move starts with understanding what you’re transporting and where it needs to go. We evaluate equipment dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements during our assessment.
Next comes route planning and permit coordination. North Creek’s terrain and local regulations require specific knowledge about road restrictions, bridge clearances, and seasonal access issues. We handle the paperwork so your move proceeds legally and safely.
On moving day, our crew shows up with proper rigging and loading equipment. Professional securement prevents damage during transport, while careful handling protects your machinery and our reputation. We keep you informed throughout the process so you know exactly when to expect delivery.
The job isn’t done until your equipment is positioned where you need it and ready to operate. Site cleanup and final positioning are included – not extras that show up on your bill later.

Our machinery transport service covers everything needed to move your equipment safely and legally. Professional rigging handles compact excavators to large bulldozers and specialized construction machinery.
Route planning accounts for North Creek’s specific challenges – seasonal road conditions, bridge restrictions, and local traffic patterns that affect delivery timing. We secure necessary permits and coordinate with authorities when oversized loads require special handling.
North Creek’s terrain demands equipment movers who understand local conditions. Rocky ground, seasonal mud, and narrow access roads stop inexperienced operators. We position machinery where you need it, even in challenging locations that might defeat less experienced machine moving companies.
Comprehensive insurance protects your equipment throughout transport. Clear communication keeps you updated on progress and any schedule adjustments due to weather or road conditions.
We transport machinery ranging from compact excavators and skid steers to large bulldozers, excavators, and specialized construction equipment. Our transport capabilities handle equipment up to legal road limits for width, height, and weight.
For oversized loads exceeding standard dimensions, we coordinate necessary permits and escort requirements. The key is matching the right trailer and rigging to your specific machinery. During assessment, we evaluate equipment dimensions, weight distribution, and special handling needs.
North Creek’s terrain and seasonal conditions sometimes require specific timing or route adjustments. We factor these local considerations into transport planning to ensure safe, legal delivery regardless of equipment size.
Equipment protection starts with proper rigging using professional-grade chains, straps, and blocking materials. We inspect all securement points and use appropriate tie-down methods based on your machinery’s weight distribution and center of gravity.
Our operators understand how different equipment types need positioning and securing for safe transport. Hydraulic components get properly positioned, attachments are secured or removed as needed, and moving parts are locked down to prevent road vibration damage.
We carry comprehensive insurance covering your equipment throughout transport. Route planning avoids unnecessarily rough roads when possible, and we monitor weather conditions affecting transport safety. Your machinery arrives in the same condition it left.
Permit requirements depend on equipment dimensions and weight. Standard-sized machinery within legal road limits typically doesn’t need special permits. However, wider, taller, or heavier equipment requires oversize/overweight permits from New York State DOT.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities when required. This includes calculating efficient routes that accommodate equipment size while minimizing permit costs and restrictions.
For North Creek deliveries, we consider seasonal restrictions affecting heavy equipment transport. Spring weight limits on certain roads and seasonal access restrictions require advance planning. Our experience with local regulations ensures equipment moves legally and arrives on schedule without permit delays.
Transport costs depend on equipment size, distance, route complexity, and special handling requirements. We provide upfront pricing including all necessary permits, rigging, and securement – no hidden fees or surprise charges after work completion.
Local moves within North Creek and surrounding areas typically cost less than long-distance transport due to reduced travel time and fuel costs. However, challenging access conditions or oversized equipment may require additional planning and specialized rigging affecting pricing.
We evaluate each job individually and provide clear, detailed estimates breaking down all costs. This includes permit fees, escort requirements, or special rigging needs specific to your equipment and delivery location. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Yes, we regularly deliver equipment to challenging sites throughout North Creek’s terrain. Rocky access roads, steep grades, and seasonal conditions require experienced operators and appropriate equipment selection.
Our assessment includes evaluating access routes, ground conditions, and obstacles affecting delivery. Sometimes this means using different transport equipment or coordinating delivery timing with ground conditions and weather.
We’ve delivered equipment to remote construction sites, properties with narrow access roads, and locations where standard transport methods won’t work. The key is planning ahead and having experience handling North Creek’s specific terrain challenges. If there’s a way to get your equipment where it needs to go safely, we’ll find it.
We recommend scheduling heavy equipment transport at least one week in advance for standard moves. This allows time for route planning, permit processing if needed, and coordination with your project timeline.
Oversized loads or complex moves requiring special permits may need 2-3 weeks advance notice. Permit processing times and coordination with escort services can add scheduling time, especially during busy construction seasons.
For emergency equipment moves or breakdown situations, we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our current schedule and equipment availability. However, advance planning always produces better results and helps ensure your equipment arrives exactly when your project needs it.
