When your excavator breaks down or you need machinery moved to a new job site, every hour of delay costs money. You need equipment transport that works the first time, without the headaches that come from working with companies that don’t understand the stakes.
Our heavy equipment moving service gets your machinery where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. No equipment failures. No surprise fees. No regulatory delays that put your project timeline at risk.
Your equipment investment stays protected throughout the entire move, and your project stays on schedule.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment in Kingsbury and throughout Washington County since 1997. What started as a logging operation has evolved into a full-service excavation and transport company that understands the unique challenges of moving machinery in our area.
Josh personally oversees nearly every equipment move, ensuring the same attention to detail that’s built our reputation over 25+ years. When his son joined as a partner in 2022, it brought together decades of experience with fresh perspective on modern transport methods.
We know Kingsbury’s roads, terrain, and local regulations. More importantly, we know what it takes to move your equipment safely without the delays that can derail your entire project timeline.
First, we assess your equipment and transport needs during a straightforward consultation. We measure dimensions, check weight specifications, and identify any special handling requirements. This isn’t a quick phone estimate – we take the time to get it right from the start.
Next, we handle all the logistics that most people don’t think about. Permits, route planning, specialized trailer selection, and regulatory compliance. We coordinate timing with your project schedule, not the other way around.
On moving day, our professional-grade equipment and experienced operators handle the loading, transport, and placement. You get real-time updates throughout the process, so you always know exactly where your equipment is and when it will arrive.

Our heavy equipment moving service covers everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers, cranes, and specialized construction machinery. We handle both local moves within Kingsbury and long-distance transport throughout New York and neighboring states.
Every move includes comprehensive insurance coverage, proper permit acquisition, and route optimization to avoid traffic delays and weight restrictions. Our equipment is maintained to professional standards – no breakdowns that leave your machinery stranded on the roadside.
Kingsbury’s location in Washington County gives us strategic access to major highways while avoiding the congestion and higher costs associated with urban transport. This means faster delivery times and more competitive pricing for equipment moves in our area.
Heavy equipment transport costs typically range from $2-5 per mile depending on the equipment size, weight, and distance. Local moves within Kingsbury and Washington County generally fall on the lower end of this range, while longer distances or oversized loads require specialized handling that increases the rate.
The total cost includes more than just mileage. Permit fees, insurance coverage, specialized trailer rental, and loading/unloading time all factor into the final price. We provide upfront quotes that include all these costs, so you won’t face surprise charges after the move is complete.
Equipment that requires disassembly, escort vehicles, or special route planning will cost more, but we identify these requirements during our initial assessment. This way, you can budget accurately from the start instead of dealing with cost overruns that throw off your entire project budget.
Local equipment moves within Kingsbury typically take 4-8 hours from start to finish, including loading, transport, and unloading time. This assumes standard equipment that doesn’t require special permits or route restrictions.
Longer distance moves or oversized loads that need permit processing can take 1-3 days depending on the destination and regulatory requirements. We handle all permit applications and route approvals in advance, so delays are rare once the move begins.
Weather conditions can affect timing, especially during winter months when road conditions may require slower transport speeds or route changes. We monitor conditions closely and communicate any timeline adjustments immediately, so you can adjust your project schedule accordingly.
We handle equipment ranging from compact excavators under 10,000 pounds to large bulldozers, cranes, and specialized machinery weighing over 100,000 pounds. Our trailer selection includes lowboys, flatbeds, and specialized heavy-haul equipment designed for oversized loads.
For equipment exceeding standard highway dimensions (8’6″ wide, 13’6″ high, 80,000 pounds), we obtain oversize permits and coordinate escort vehicles when required. New York state regulations allow for equipment transport up to specific limits with proper permitting and routing.
The key factor isn’t just size and weight – it’s the combination of dimensions, center of gravity, and transport route. Some compact but top-heavy equipment requires more specialized handling than larger but more stable machinery. We assess each piece individually to determine the safest transport method.
Yes, all equipment moves include comprehensive cargo insurance coverage that protects your machinery throughout the entire transport process. Our coverage includes protection against damage from loading accidents, transport incidents, and weather-related issues during the move.
Insurance limits are based on the declared value of your equipment, and we can arrange additional coverage for high-value machinery when needed. This isn’t basic liability coverage – it’s specific cargo protection designed for heavy equipment transport risks.
We also maintain proper operating authority and commercial vehicle insurance as required by state and federal regulations. This means you’re protected not just from equipment damage, but from liability issues that could arise during transport on public roads.
Equipment transport permits depend on the size, weight, and dimensions of your machinery. Standard equipment that falls within highway limits (80,000 pounds, 8’6″ wide, 13’6″ high) typically doesn’t require special permits for transport within New York state.
Oversized or overweight equipment requires permits from the New York State Department of Transportation. These permits specify approved routes, travel times, and any escort vehicle requirements. Processing time is usually 2-5 business days, which we handle as part of our service.
Local municipalities may have additional restrictions for equipment transport through town centers or on specific roads. We’re familiar with Kingsbury’s local regulations and coordinate with town officials when necessary to ensure compliant transport routing.
Yes, we regularly transport equipment to challenging job sites including narrow access roads, steep grades, and soft ground conditions. Our experience in Kingsbury’s varied terrain – from flat agricultural areas to hilly residential developments – gives us the expertise to handle difficult access situations.
We conduct site assessments before transport to identify potential access challenges and plan accordingly. This might involve using smaller trailers, coordinating ground preparation, or timing the delivery for optimal soil conditions. The goal is successful delivery without getting stuck or damaging the site.
Some locations may require equipment to be delivered to a nearby accessible area and then moved to the final position using the machine’s own power. We coordinate these logistics with your project team to ensure smooth delivery that doesn’t disrupt your construction schedule or damage your prepared work areas.
