Your excavator arrives exactly when promised, properly secured, and ready to work. No damage, no delays, no surprises that derail your project timeline.
When your heavy equipment reaches the job site in perfect condition, your crew can focus on the work instead of dealing with transport problems. You avoid costly downtime, equipment repairs, and the headaches that come with inexperienced haulers who don’t understand how expensive mistakes can be.
Professional machinery moving means your project stays on schedule and within budget. The right transport company handles permits, route planning, and DOT compliance so you can concentrate on what matters most – getting your job done right.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment across the Adirondack region since 1997. We understand every back road, weight restriction, and seasonal limitation between Riparius and your job site.
As a family-owned operation, we built our reputation one successful move at a time throughout Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties. When Josh started this company, he saw too many equipment owners getting burned by haulers who overpromised and underdelivered.
We own our trucks and equipment, which means better scheduling control and faster response times when you need emergency transport. Three counties of experience with regional terrain prevent the costly surprises that inexperienced haulers create.
We start by understanding exactly what equipment you need moved, when, and where. This isn’t just about dimensions and weight – we need to know your timeline, site access requirements, and any special handling considerations.
Our team handles all permit requirements and route planning for oversized loads. We coordinate with local authorities when necessary and choose routes that avoid weight restrictions and low bridges. Every load gets secured according to Department of Transportation standards using proper tie-down techniques.
Professional drivers with commercial licensing and clean records handle the actual transport. They understand construction site access, proper loading procedures, and how to work around active job sites without creating safety hazards. Your equipment arrives on schedule with delivery confirmation and documentation.

We handle excavators, bulldozers, compactors, and specialized construction tools across the tri-county area. Our service includes proper loading, secure transport, and careful unloading at your destination.
Riparius sits in an area where rural roads present unique challenges for heavy equipment transport. Seasonal weight restrictions, narrow passages, and steep grades require local knowledge that only comes from years of experience in this region. We know which routes work for your specific equipment and which ones to avoid.
Comprehensive insurance coverage protects your machinery from pickup to final delivery. Our drivers carry commercial licenses with extensive hauling experience, and we maintain backup equipment to ensure service continues even during peak demand periods. Emergency and rush delivery options are available when unexpected delays threaten your project deadlines.
Oversized equipment typically requires special permits from the New York State Department of Transportation, and we handle this entire process for you. The specific permits depend on your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and transport route.
We coordinate with local authorities and state agencies to ensure all paperwork is completed before your scheduled move. This includes route surveys, escort vehicle requirements, and timing restrictions that might apply to your specific load. Part of our service is knowing what’s required and getting it done right so your transport stays legal and on schedule.
Every piece of equipment gets secured using Department of Transportation approved tie-down methods and proper blocking techniques. Our drivers are trained in heavy equipment handling and understand how different machines need to be positioned and secured for safe transport.
We carry comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment from pickup to final delivery destination. This isn’t just basic liability – it’s coverage specifically designed for high-value construction equipment. Our trucks are regularly inspected and maintained to prevent mechanical failures that could damage your machinery.
Before loading, we document the equipment’s condition with photos and inspect for any pre-existing damage. This protects both you and us by establishing a clear baseline before transport begins.
Local moves within the tri-county area typically happen within 24-48 hours of your call, depending on equipment availability and permit requirements. Longer distance transport or oversized loads may require additional planning time for route surveys and permit processing.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and stick to them. Weather conditions, especially during winter months, can affect scheduling, but we communicate any delays immediately and work with you to find alternative solutions. Emergency transport is available when project deadlines are at risk.
The key is calling us as soon as you know you’ll need transport service. Earlier notice gives us more flexibility with scheduling and ensures your equipment moves when you need it most.
Yes, our service includes professional loading and unloading using proper equipment and techniques. We bring the right tools for your specific machinery, whether that’s ramps, winches, or hydraulic systems.
Our drivers understand construction site logistics and can work around active operations without creating safety hazards. We coordinate with your crew to ensure unloading happens at the right location and time for your project schedule. Site access is evaluated beforehand to prevent problems on delivery day.
If your job site has challenging access conditions – like soft ground, tight spaces, or overhead obstructions – we plan for these issues during the initial consultation. This prevents delays and ensures your equipment gets positioned exactly where you need it.
We handle everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers and specialized construction equipment. Our fleet includes different sized trucks and trailers to match your specific transport needs without paying for oversized service on smaller machines.
Weight capacity goes up to standard legal limits, and we can arrange special permits for overweight loads when necessary. The key is having the right equipment for each job – small trucks for tight access situations and larger trailers for heavy machinery that needs maximum stability during transport.
Before quoting your job, we need to know the exact dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements. This ensures we bring the right truck and equipment the first time, preventing delays and additional costs.
We regularly transport equipment throughout New York State and into neighboring states when needed. Local moves within Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties are our specialty, but we handle longer distance transport for customers who need equipment moved to distant job sites.
Distance affects pricing and scheduling, but we provide clear quotes upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Longer hauls require more planning for permits, route surveys, and driver logistics, but the same attention to safety and equipment protection applies regardless of distance.
Our local knowledge gives us advantages even on longer trips because we understand the best routes out of the Adirondack region and can avoid problem areas that cause delays or damage. We coordinate with receiving locations to ensure smooth delivery regardless of distance.
