Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to oversized construction machinery. We handle lowboy trailer transport for heavy equipment, RGN hauling for specialized loading needs, and Landoll trailer services for sliding axle requirements.
Long Island’s construction industry demands reliable equipment transport, especially with the area’s busy project schedules and tight deadlines. Our local knowledge means we understand the best routes, permit requirements, and timing to avoid traffic delays that can impact your project.
Whether you’re moving equipment between job sites, transporting newly purchased machinery, or relocating for seasonal work, we provide the specialized trailers and experienced handling your valuable equipment deserves. From ground loading capabilities to hydraulic tilt options, we match the right equipment to your specific transport needs.
We use several specialized trailer types depending on your equipment’s requirements. Lowboy trailers are ideal for tall equipment like excavators and bulldozers because their low deck height provides better clearance under bridges and reduces permit requirements.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers work best when you need to drive equipment directly onto the trailer, making loading and unloading much easier for wheeled machinery. Landoll trailers with sliding axles are perfect for equipment that requires precise positioning during loading.
For equipment with hydraulic components or specific angle requirements, we use hydraulic tilt trailers that can adjust the deck angle for safe loading. Each trailer type serves different purposes, and we select the right one based on your equipment’s size, weight, and loading requirements.
Equipment moving costs depend on several factors including distance, equipment size and weight, trailer type required, and any special permits needed. Local moves within Long Island typically cost less than long-distance transport, but the specific route and any oversize requirements affect pricing.
For example, moving a standard excavator within 300 miles might run around $1,400-$1,600 including insurance and permits, but costs vary based on current fuel prices and specific equipment dimensions. Oversize loads requiring escorts or special permits will increase the total cost.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. When you call for a quote, we’ll assess your specific equipment and transport needs to give you an accurate estimate. Unlike some companies that surprise you with additional charges, our quoted price includes insurance, proper securing, and all necessary permits for your move.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements and regulatory compliance for your equipment transport. This includes oversize and overweight permits, route surveys, and coordination with local authorities when required.
New York has specific regulations for heavy equipment transport, especially in Long Island where bridge clearances and weight restrictions can affect routing. We know which routes work best for different types of equipment and handle all the paperwork to ensure legal compliance.
For loads requiring escort vehicles or specific travel times, we coordinate everything in advance. This saves you the hassle of dealing with multiple agencies and ensures your equipment moves legally and safely. Our experience with local regulations means fewer delays and smoother transport from pickup to delivery.
Equipment safety starts with proper loading using the right trailer type and professional securing techniques. We use industry-standard chains, straps, and tie-down points designed for the specific weight and dimensions of your machinery.
Our operators inspect all securing points multiple times—before transport, during stops, and upon arrival. We also use protective padding where needed to prevent damage from vibration or contact during transport. All our trailers are regularly maintained and inspected to ensure they’re in perfect working condition.
Insurance coverage protects your equipment throughout the entire transport process, giving you peace of mind that any unlikely damage is covered. Josh personally oversees most jobs to ensure our quality standards are met, and we treat your equipment with the same care we’d want for our own machinery.
We understand that construction and project schedules don’t always go as planned, and sometimes you need equipment moved quickly. While we prefer advance notice to ensure proper planning and permits, we can often accommodate urgent transport requests.
For emergency moves, we assess what’s immediately available in terms of trailers and operators, then work to expedite any necessary permits. Local moves within Long Island are easier to handle on short notice than long-distance transport that requires more complex routing and permits.
The key is calling us as soon as you know you need equipment moved. Even if it’s urgent, we still maintain our safety and quality standards—we just work faster to coordinate everything. Our local presence and relationships help us move quickly when your project timeline demands it.
Lowboy trailers have a fixed gooseneck and are loaded using ramps or cranes, making them ideal for tracked equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and other heavy machinery that can’t easily drive onto a trailer. They offer excellent stability and can handle very heavy loads.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that allows wheeled equipment to drive directly onto the trailer deck. This makes loading much easier for equipment like wheel loaders, scrapers, and other self-propelled machinery that can drive under its own power.
Both trailer types serve important purposes in equipment transport. RGNs are more convenient for loading wheeled equipment and reduce the need for additional loading equipment on site. Lowboys are better for tracked equipment and extremely heavy loads that need maximum stability. We select the right trailer type based on your specific equipment and site conditions.
