You don’t have time for equipment that shows up damaged or delayed. Your construction timeline depends on machinery that’s ready to work the moment it hits the ground.
Professional lowboy trailer transport means your excavators, bulldozers, and specialized equipment arrive in exactly the same condition they left. No surprise repair bills. No project delays while you wait for replacement parts.
The right trailer makes all the difference. Low-profile decks handle your tallest equipment without height clearance issues. Proper tie-down techniques protect against road vibration and shifting loads. DOT-compliant securing methods ensure your equipment stays exactly where it should throughout the entire journey.
We’ve been moving equipment throughout Queensbury and Warren County for years. We understand the seasonal road restrictions, weight limitations on rural routes, and permit requirements that affect your transport.
Josh oversees operations personally, ensuring every load gets the attention your equipment deserves. This isn’t just another trucking company – we’re excavation professionals who know exactly what heavy machinery costs and what proper transport requires.
When you’re dealing with equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars, you want carriers who understand the stakes. We’ve been in your position, which is why we handle every load like it’s our own.
First, we assess your equipment dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements. This determines the right trailer type – whether you need a standard lowboy, RGN (removable gooseneck), or specialized Landoll trailer for your specific machinery.
Next, we handle all permit requirements and route planning. Oversized loads require specific permits, and we know which routes work best for different equipment types. No guesswork about bridge clearances or weight restrictions.
Finally, we coordinate pickup and delivery times that work with your schedule. Your equipment gets secured according to DOT standards, transported safely, and delivered ready to work. We provide updates throughout the process so you know exactly when to expect your machinery.

Different equipment requires different transport solutions. Standard lowboy trailers work perfectly for most construction equipment, providing the low deck height needed for tall machinery while maintaining stability during transport.
RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers offer front-loading capability for equipment that can’t be loaded from the sides. The detachable front section creates a ramp, making it easier to drive machinery directly onto the deck.
Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capability handle equipment with ground clearance issues. The hydraulic system allows precise positioning for loading and unloading, especially valuable for delicate or low-clearance machinery.
For Queensbury projects, we also understand local factors that affect transport. Winter road conditions, seasonal weight restrictions, and construction zone detours all influence route planning and delivery schedules.
We transport all types of construction and industrial equipment including excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, cranes, compactors, and agricultural machinery. Lowboy trailers are specifically designed for equipment that’s too tall for standard flatbed trailers.
The low deck height on lowboy trailers allows us to transport equipment up to 11-12 feet tall while staying within legal height limits. This includes most construction equipment, even larger excavators and bulldozers that would exceed height restrictions on regular trailers.
We also handle specialized equipment like scissor lifts, boom lifts, and industrial machinery that requires the stability and clearance that only lowboy transport can provide.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for oversized and overweight loads. This includes obtaining the proper permits from New York State DOT and coordinating with local authorities when necessary.
Permit requirements vary based on equipment dimensions and weight. Standard permits cover most construction equipment, but larger or heavier machinery may require special routing or escort vehicles. We determine what’s needed during the initial assessment.
We also coordinate timing with permit restrictions. Some permits limit travel to specific hours or days of the week, and we plan your transport schedule accordingly to ensure compliance and avoid delays.
We use DOT-approved tie-down methods and securing techniques specific to each type of equipment. This includes heavy-duty chains, straps, and blocking that’s designed for the weight and dimensions of your machinery.
Every piece of equipment gets secured at multiple points to prevent shifting during transport. We inspect all securing equipment before loading and perform safety checks throughout the journey to ensure everything stays in place.
Our drivers are experienced with heavy equipment transport and understand how different types of machinery need to be secured. This isn’t general freight – it’s specialized transport that requires specific knowledge and techniques.
Lowboy trailers have a fixed deck with loading from the sides or rear using ramps. They’re ideal for most construction equipment and provide excellent stability with their low center of gravity design.
RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that creates a loading ramp. This allows you to drive equipment directly onto the trailer from the front, which is helpful for machinery that’s difficult to load from the sides.
RGN trailers also offer additional deck length when the gooseneck is removed, making them suitable for longer equipment. The choice depends on your specific equipment and loading requirements – we’ll recommend the best option based on your machinery’s dimensions and loading capabilities.
For standard equipment transport within the region, we typically need 24-48 hours notice for scheduling. This allows time to arrange the appropriate trailer and handle any permit requirements.
Oversized loads or specialized equipment may require more advance notice, especially if special permits or escort vehicles are needed. Complex moves with multiple pieces of equipment or tight delivery windows benefit from earlier scheduling.
We also offer emergency transport services when project timelines demand immediate equipment movement. While we can’t guarantee same-day service for all equipment types, we work to accommodate urgent transport needs whenever possible.
Yes, we can arrange loading and unloading assistance when needed. This includes providing operators for equipment that needs to be driven onto trailers, as well as crane services for machinery that requires lifting.
Many pieces of construction equipment can be driven directly onto lowboy or RGN trailers, but some situations require additional assistance. Non-running equipment, delicate machinery, or tight loading areas may need specialized handling.
We assess loading and unloading requirements during the initial consultation and include any necessary assistance in your transport quote. This ensures no surprises on delivery day and keeps your project moving forward smoothly.
