Your excavator, bulldozer, or construction equipment represents a significant investment. When it needs to move from one job site to another, you need transport services that understand what’s at stake.
Professional equipment moving means your machinery arrives in the same condition it left. No damage from improper tie-downs. No delays from permit issues or route complications. No surprise costs that blow your project budget.
You get equipment delivered on schedule so your crew can get back to work. Your project timeline stays intact, and your expensive machinery stays protected throughout the entire transport process.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving Warren County since 1997, originally as a logging operation before transitioning to full-time excavation and transport services. We understand the terrain, road restrictions, and seasonal challenges that come with moving heavy equipment through the Adirondack region.
As a family-owned business, owner Josh is personally involved in operations to ensure every transport meets our standards. We’ve built our reputation by finishing what we start and treating your equipment like our own.
Our local expertise spans three counties of challenging terrain, preventing the costly surprises that can derail equipment moves and project timelines.
Equipment moving starts with understanding exactly what you’re transporting and where it needs to go. We assess your machinery’s dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements to select the right trailer and plan the optimal route.
Next, we handle all permit requirements and DOT compliance paperwork. Our drivers secure your equipment using Department of Transportation standards, ensuring everything stays exactly where it should during transport.
Throughout the move, we maintain direct communication about timing and any route adjustments. Your equipment arrives ready to work, and you can get back to your project without delays or damage concerns.

Our equipment moving services include lowboy trailer transport for standard construction machinery, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for easy loading of tracked equipment, and specialized hauling for oversized loads that require permits.
In Warren County and surrounding areas, we handle the unique challenges of rural road weight restrictions, seasonal access limitations, and the mountainous terrain that can complicate equipment transport. Our drivers know every back road and understand local conditions that affect safe transport.
All loads receive comprehensive insurance coverage and professional securing using DOT-approved methods. We coordinate delivery windows to match your project schedule and provide emergency transport when unexpected equipment moves threaten deadlines.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, compactors, skid steers, and other heavy construction machinery using appropriate lowboy and RGN trailers. Our equipment can handle loads from standard construction equipment up to 80,000 pounds total weight depending on axle configuration.
Each piece of equipment gets evaluated for dimensions, weight, and special handling requirements. We select the right trailer type and secure everything according to Department of Transportation standards to ensure your machinery arrives undamaged.
For tracked equipment or machinery that’s difficult to load, our RGN trailers feature detachable front ends that create loading ramps, making the process safer and more efficient.

We also provide emergency and rush transport services when unexpected equipment moves threaten project deadlines. Our locally-owned equipment and drivers allow us to respond more quickly than companies that rely on subcontractors or rental equipment.
During busy construction seasons, scheduling in advance helps ensure availability when you need it. We work with your project timeline to coordinate deliveries that keep your construction schedule on track.

We maintain proper commercial licensing with clean driving records and extensive insurance that covers both the transport vehicle and your equipment being moved. This protection gives you peace of mind throughout the entire transport process.
