You need equipment that shows up undamaged and ready for the job. That means proper loading techniques that protect hydraulics and sensitive components. Trailers rated for the actual weight, not just close enough. Drivers who understand that your excavator isn’t just cargo—it’s how you make money.
When your equipment arrives intact and operational, your project stays on schedule. No delays waiting for repairs. No surprises about damaged attachments. Just machinery that’s ready to work the moment it hits the ground.
The difference between professional equipment moving and just hauling stuff around becomes obvious when you’re facing a deadline and everything depends on that machine being ready to go.
We’ve been moving equipment around New York since 1997, starting as a logging operation before transitioning to full-time excavation and transport services. That background means we understand equipment from the operator’s perspective—what breaks it, what protects it, and what keeps it running.
Josh is on almost every job, ensuring the level of care we’d want for our own equipment. We’re not trying to be the biggest transport company in the state. We’re focused on being the one you call back because we did it right the first time.
Long Island’s construction market demands reliability. Projects move fast, budgets are tight, and there’s no room for equipment transport that creates problems instead of solving them.
First, we assess your equipment and route requirements. Weight, dimensions, any special handling needs—everything gets documented upfront so there are no surprises later. We handle the permit process and route planning, considering bridge heights, weight restrictions, and local regulations.
Loading happens with the right equipment for your specific machine. Lowboy trailers for standard equipment, RGN trailers for pieces that need ground-level loading, or specialized Landoll trailers for unique situations. Everything gets properly secured using techniques that protect your equipment during transport.
Delivery is coordinated with your schedule. We show up when promised, unload safely, and make sure everything’s positioned where you need it. The job isn’t finished until your equipment is ready for operation and you’re satisfied with the service.

Our fleet includes lowboy trailers rated for over 100,000 pounds, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for easy ground loading, and Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt and sliding axle capabilities. This variety means we can handle everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers and specialized construction equipment.
Long Island’s infrastructure presents unique challenges—older bridges with weight restrictions, narrow roads in residential areas, and busy commercial zones where timing matters. We know which routes work for oversized loads and which permits are required for different equipment types.
Ground loading services eliminate the need for ramps or additional equipment at pickup and delivery sites. Hydraulic tilt capabilities mean we can accommodate equipment with varying ground clearance requirements. Every transport is planned specifically for your equipment and location constraints.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, compact track loaders, scissor lifts, forklifts, and other construction equipment up to 100,000+ pounds. Our fleet includes lowboy trailers for standard equipment, RGN trailers for pieces requiring ground-level loading, and specialized Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt and sliding axles for unique situations.
The key is matching the right trailer to your specific equipment. Tall equipment benefits from our low-deck lowboy trailers that provide better bridge clearance. Equipment with low ground clearance or delicate undercarriages works better with our RGN trailers that eliminate loading ramps.
We handle both single-piece moves and multiple equipment transport, coordinating everything from permits to delivery timing based on your project requirements.
We manage the entire permit process as part of our service. This includes calculating exact dimensions and weights, determining required permits based on your route, and submitting applications to the appropriate authorities. New York has specific requirements for oversized loads, and we stay current with all regulations.
Route planning is critical because not all roads can accommodate oversized equipment. We identify the best path considering bridge heights, weight restrictions, and local traffic regulations. Some moves require escort vehicles or specific timing restrictions, which we coordinate in advance.
The permit process typically takes 3-5 business days for standard oversized loads, though complex routes or extremely large equipment may require additional time. We factor this into your project timeline so equipment arrives when needed.
Our pricing covers the complete transport service: professional loading using appropriate equipment, secure transport on properly rated trailers, all required permits and documentation, and safe unloading at your destination. There are no hidden fees for basic services like tie-downs, protective coverings, or standard route planning.
Additional costs may apply for services like escort vehicles (required for certain oversized loads), special timing restrictions, or multiple stops. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what’s included and what might cost extra.
We price based on equipment type, distance, and complexity of the move. A standard excavator transport differs from moving a piece with unusual dimensions or special handling requirements. Every estimate is customized for your specific situation.
For standard equipment moves within Long Island, we typically need 2-3 days advance notice. This allows time for route planning, permit processing if required, and scheduling our equipment and drivers. Rush jobs can often be accommodated, but may involve additional costs for expedited permits or overtime.
Oversized loads requiring special permits need 5-7 days minimum due to government processing times. Complex moves involving multiple pieces or challenging routes may require additional planning time. The key is calling as soon as you know you’ll need transport services.
We understand construction schedules change, so we try to maintain flexibility while ensuring proper planning. Early communication helps us accommodate your timeline and avoid delays that could impact your project.
Yes, we provide equipment moving services throughout Long Island, including Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and extend our services across New York State. Our base in the region gives us detailed knowledge of local roads, regulations, and the best routes for different types of equipment transport.
We’re familiar with the specific challenges of Long Island transport—narrow residential streets, bridge restrictions, and busy commercial areas where timing and route selection are critical. This local expertise helps avoid delays and ensures your equipment reaches its destination safely.
For longer distances or out-of-state transport, we coordinate with our network of qualified carriers to ensure the same level of professional service. Every transport maintains our standards regardless of distance or destination.
Equipment safety starts with proper loading techniques that protect hydraulic systems, prevent damage to attachments, and secure everything according to DOT regulations. We use appropriate tie-down points and protective coverings to prevent road debris damage during transport.
Our drivers are experienced with heavy equipment transport, understanding how different machines need to be handled. This includes proper weight distribution, secure attachment of loose components, and recognition of equipment-specific vulnerabilities that could cause damage during transport.
All our trailers are regularly inspected and maintained to DOT standards. We carry comprehensive insurance coverage and maintain detailed documentation for every transport. Pre-transport inspections document equipment condition, and post-delivery inspections confirm everything arrived as expected.
