When your construction project timeline depends on equipment arriving intact and ready to work, you need transport that eliminates the guesswork. Our lowboy trailers and Landoll equipment hauling services handle everything from compact excavators to oversized machinery.
You get equipment moved by operators who understand what that machinery represents to your business. Not just another load to haul, but the tools that keep your operation running and profitable.
Local knowledge matters when you’re navigating Lake George area terrain and access challenges. We’ve been moving heavy equipment in this region long enough to know which routes work and which ones don’t.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking started as a logging operation in 1997 and transitioned to full-time excavation and equipment services in 2020. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to doing the job right with equipment and expertise that match the challenge.
Josh is present on almost every job because quality matters when you’re handling expensive machinery. This is a family business where your equipment gets the same care we’d want for our own.
We understand the Lake George area’s unique terrain, seasonal access challenges, and the reality that equipment downtime costs money. That’s why we focus on reliable transport that keeps your projects moving forward.
We start by understanding exactly what equipment needs to move, where it’s going, and any site access challenges. This includes dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements your machinery might have.
Route planning comes next. We map the most efficient path that accounts for weight restrictions, bridge clearances, and permit requirements. Local knowledge eliminates surprises that can delay your timeline.
Loading and transport use the right trailer for your specific equipment. Whether it’s a lowboy for tall machinery, an RGN for ground loading, or a Landoll with hydraulic tilt capability, we match the equipment to the job.

Our equipment moving services include lowboy trailer transport for overheight machinery, RGN trailers with removable goosenecks for easy ground loading, and Landoll trailers with sliding axles and hydraulic tilt capability. We handle everything from compact construction equipment to oversized industrial machinery.
The Lake George area’s terrain and seasonal access requirements demand specialized knowledge. Steep driveways, narrow access roads, and seasonal property restrictions are part of the landscape here. Our equipment is selected specifically to handle these conditions safely.
Permit coordination and route planning are included in our service. We understand local regulations and work with authorities to ensure your equipment transport meets all requirements without delays that cost you time and money.
We use several specialized trailer types depending on your equipment’s specifications. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment because the low deck height provides maximum clearance under bridges and through restricted areas.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers allow for ground loading when your equipment doesn’t have ramps or needs to be positioned precisely. Landoll trailers offer hydraulic tilt and sliding axle capability for equipment that requires specific loading angles.
The key is matching the right trailer to your specific equipment and transport requirements. We evaluate each job individually to determine the most efficient and safe transport method.
Permit coordination is part of our equipment moving service. We handle the paperwork and coordination with local and state authorities to ensure your transport meets all legal requirements.
This includes route approval, timing restrictions, and any escort vehicle requirements. Different types of oversize loads have different permit requirements, and we understand the regulations that apply to construction equipment transport in New York.
Getting permits right the first time prevents delays and additional costs. We factor permit requirements into our scheduling and route planning from the beginning of each job.
Yes, we regularly transport equipment to remote and challenging locations throughout the Lake George area. Our local knowledge includes understanding seasonal access restrictions, steep terrain, and narrow roads that are common in this region.
We’ve been operating in this area since 1997, so we understand which routes work for different types of equipment and which locations require special planning. This includes seasonal properties, remote construction sites, and locations with limited access.
Site evaluation is part of our planning process. We work with you to understand any access challenges and plan accordingly to ensure your equipment reaches its destination safely.
We need specific equipment details including make, model, serial number, dimensions, and weight. This information is legally required for transport permits and helps us select the appropriate trailer and plan the safest route.
Pickup and delivery locations with any site access information are essential. This includes narrow roads, steep grades, overhead restrictions, or any other factors that might affect loading and transport.
Timeline requirements help us schedule appropriately and coordinate any necessary permits or escort vehicles. The more detailed information you provide upfront, the more accurate our quote and the smoother your transport experience.
Yes, we understand that equipment breakdowns and urgent project needs don’t follow normal business hours. We provide emergency transport services when you need equipment moved quickly to keep your operation running.
Rush services require additional coordination for permits and route planning, which can affect pricing. However, our local presence and established relationships with permitting authorities help us move quickly when time is critical.
The key to successful rush transport is clear communication about your timeline and any site constraints. We work with you to find the fastest safe solution that gets your equipment where it needs to be.
Equipment safety starts with proper loading techniques and securing methods specific to each type of machinery. Our operators understand how different equipment needs to be positioned and secured for safe transport.
We use professional-grade tie-downs, chains, and blocking appropriate for each load’s weight and configuration. Route planning considers road conditions, weather, and any factors that could affect transport safety.
Insurance coverage protects your equipment throughout the transport process. We carry comprehensive coverage and maintain detailed documentation for every transport job. Our goal is delivering your equipment in the same condition it was loaded.
