When your excavator, bulldozer, or specialized equipment needs to get from point A to point B, you need more than just a truck and trailer. You need operators who understand that your equipment represents a significant investment and that delays cost you money.
Our lowboy trailer services handle everything from compact track loaders to 80,000-pound machines. The low deck design keeps your tall equipment under bridge clearances while the low center of gravity prevents the tipping issues that plague standard trailers.
Every piece gets properly secured using professional-grade tie-downs and blocking. You get transparent pricing upfront, proper permits handled professionally, and equipment that arrives exactly when and where you need it.
We started as a logging operation in 1997 and evolved into full-service excavation and equipment transport. Josh runs every job personally, ensuring the same attention to detail whether you’re moving a single skid steer or coordinating multiple equipment deliveries.
We understand Stony Creek’s terrain, local regulations, and the construction community. When you call us, you’re working with people who’ve been moving equipment through Warren County roads for decades, not a faceless corporation.
Our approach is simple: treat your equipment like it’s our own, communicate clearly throughout the process, and build relationships that last beyond a single job.
First, we assess your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and pickup/delivery locations. This determines the right trailer type – whether that’s a standard lowboy, RGN (removable gooseneck), or specialized configuration for your specific machine.
Next, we handle all permit requirements and route planning. Our operators know which roads can handle oversized loads and which bridges have clearance restrictions. We coordinate timing with your schedule, not the other way around.
On moving day, we arrive with the proper equipment and secure your machine using industry-standard blocking and tie-down procedures. Throughout transport, your equipment stays protected and stable. At delivery, we position everything exactly where you need it and ensure you’re completely satisfied before considering the job complete.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to large dozers and specialized machinery. We handle standard lowboy loads up to 40,000 pounds and multi-axle configurations for heavier equipment reaching 80,000 pounds.
For taller equipment, our RGN trailers offer front-loading capability and better clearance. Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt decks make loading and unloading easier for equipment with low ground clearance. We also handle oversize loads requiring escort vehicles and special routing.
In the Stony Creek area, we regularly move equipment between job sites, to and from equipment dealers, and for seasonal storage. Our local knowledge means we understand the challenges of navigating rural roads, seasonal weight restrictions, and the specific requirements of different construction sites throughout Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties.
We match the trailer to your specific equipment and transport needs. Standard lowboy trailers work great for most excavators, skid steers, and compact equipment up to 40,000 pounds. For heavier machines, we use multi-axle lowboys that can handle up to 80,000 pounds.
RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers are ideal when you need front-loading capability or have equipment that’s difficult to load from the sides. Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt decks make loading easier for low-clearance equipment like scissor lifts or specialized machinery.
The key is matching the right trailer to your equipment’s weight, dimensions, and loading requirements while ensuring we stay within legal limits and maintain proper stability during transport.
Our pricing is based on several factors: equipment weight and dimensions, total distance, trailer type required, and any special permits needed. We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Distance obviously affects cost, but so does route complexity. Moving equipment on major highways costs less than navigating narrow rural roads or routes with multiple bridge restrictions. Oversize loads requiring escort vehicles or special permits add to the total cost.
We believe in transparent pricing from the start. When you call for a quote, we’ll ask about your equipment specifications, pickup and delivery locations, and timing requirements. You’ll get a clear breakdown of costs before we start, so you can budget accurately for your project.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s weight, width, height, and length. Standard equipment within legal limits typically doesn’t require special permits, but oversize or overweight loads need proper documentation.
In New York, loads over 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or exceeding weight limits require oversize permits. We handle all permit applications and ensure compliance with state and local regulations. This includes route restrictions, travel time limitations, and escort vehicle requirements.
Our experience with local regulations means we know which routes are approved for oversize loads and which times of day restrictions apply. We take care of all the paperwork and coordination so you can focus on your project instead of dealing with regulatory compliance.
For standard equipment moves within legal limits, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day requests, especially for local moves within the Stony Creek area. However, advance scheduling ensures better availability and pricing.
Oversize loads requiring permits need more lead time – typically 3-5 business days minimum. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment or challenging routes may need a week or more to coordinate properly.
During peak construction season (spring through fall), scheduling 1-2 weeks ahead ensures you get the exact timing you need. Winter moves are often more flexible due to reduced demand, but weather conditions can affect scheduling. We recommend calling as soon as you know your equipment needs to be moved to secure your preferred dates.
We carry comprehensive commercial insurance that covers your equipment during loading, transport, and unloading. This includes protection against damage from accidents, weather, or other unforeseen circumstances during the moving process.
Our insurance meets or exceeds industry standards and state requirements for heavy equipment transport. We can provide certificates of insurance to your project manager or insurance company when required. This documentation is often needed for commercial jobs or when equipment financing companies require proof of coverage.
Before transport begins, we document your equipment’s condition with photos and notes. This protects both you and us by establishing the equipment’s pre-transport condition. If any issues arise during transport, our insurance and documentation process ensures quick resolution without delays to your project.
Yes, we understand that construction schedules don’t always go as planned. Equipment breakdowns, weather delays, or project changes can create urgent transport needs, and we work to accommodate emergency requests whenever possible.
For urgent moves within the Stony Creek area, we can often respond same-day if we have equipment and operators available. Emergency moves to more distant locations depend on permit requirements and route complexity, but we prioritize urgent requests and work to find solutions.
Keep in mind that emergency moves may involve premium pricing due to schedule adjustments, expedited permits, or after-hours coordination. However, we understand that getting your project back on track is worth the investment. When you have an urgent equipment move, call us immediately and we’ll work with you to find the fastest, most cost-effective solution.
