Your expensive machinery deserves more than just getting from point A to point B. It needs professional handling that prevents damage, delays, and headaches.
When your equipment arrives on time and in perfect condition, your crew can get straight to work. No inspection delays, no damage claims, no scrambling to find replacement parts. Just your machinery ready to perform exactly when you need it.
That’s what happens when transport is handled by people who understand construction equipment isn’t just cargo—it’s the backbone of your operation.
We started as a logging operation in 1997 and evolved into full-time excavation and specialized transport services. What hasn’t changed is our family approach to business.
Josh personally oversees most jobs, ensuring the same attention to detail whether you’re moving a single piece of equipment or coordinating multiple loads. His son joined as a partner in 2022, bringing fresh energy while maintaining our commitment to treating customer equipment like our own.
In Saratoga Springs, where project schedules are tight and equipment downtime costs money, local knowledge matters. We understand area road restrictions, permit requirements, and the fastest routes that keep your machinery safe and your timeline intact.
First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer type—whether that’s a lowboy, RGN (Removable Gooseneck), or Landoll trailer. Each has specific advantages depending on your machinery’s size, weight, and loading requirements.
Next comes route planning and permit coordination. We handle all necessary oversize load permits and map the most efficient path while avoiding weight restrictions and low clearances that could cause delays.
On transport day, our professional operators use proper securement techniques and maintain communication throughout the move. You get updates on progress and accurate arrival times, so your crew knows exactly when to expect the equipment.

Different equipment requires different transport solutions. Lowboy trailers work best for tall machinery that needs low deck height for bridge clearance. RGN trailers offer hydraulic detachable goosenecks that create ramps for self-loading equipment like excavators and wheel loaders.
Landoll trailers provide sliding axle configurations and hydraulic tilt capabilities, perfect for forklifts, scissor lifts, and equipment that needs ground-level loading. Each trailer type handles specific weight distributions and dimensional challenges.
In Saratoga Springs and the surrounding Capital Region, projects often involve navigating historic districts and infrastructure with height and weight limitations. Our local expertise means knowing which routes work for oversize loads and which permits are required for different equipment types. This knowledge prevents delays and ensures compliance with New York DOT regulations.
The choice depends on your specific equipment. Lowboy trailers work best for tall machinery because their low deck height provides better clearance under bridges and overpasses. These are ideal for bulldozers, large excavators, and industrial equipment.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have detachable front sections that hydraulically lower to create a ramp. This makes them perfect for self-propelled equipment like wheel loaders, smaller excavators, and tracked vehicles that can drive onto the trailer.
Landoll trailers offer sliding axle systems and hydraulic tilt decks, excellent for equipment that needs ground-level loading like forklifts, scissor lifts, and machinery that can’t easily drive up a ramp. The right trailer choice prevents damage and makes loading safer and more efficient.
We handle all oversize load permits as part of our service. In New York, any load over 12 feet wide, 14 feet 6 inches tall, or exceeding weight limits requires specific permits from the Department of Transportation.
The process involves submitting detailed load specifications, planned routes, and timing to state and local authorities. For Saratoga Springs, this includes coordination with the Public Works Department to ensure routes avoid historic districts and use designated heavy haul corridors.
Permit processing typically takes 3-5 business days, though rush permits are sometimes available for urgent moves. We monitor all regulatory changes and maintain relationships with permitting offices to expedite approvals when possible. You receive copies of all permits and route restrictions before transport begins.
Our pricing includes the appropriate trailer, professional operator, all necessary permits, route planning, and basic cargo insurance. There are no hidden fees for fuel surcharges, permit costs, or standard securement equipment.
The rate depends on distance, equipment dimensions and weight, trailer type required, and any special handling needs. Local moves within the Capital Region typically cost less than long-distance transport due to reduced permit requirements and travel time.
Additional services like expedited permits, weekend transport, or specialized rigging are quoted separately. You receive a detailed breakdown showing exactly what’s included so there are no surprises. Most equipment moves are quoted as flat rates rather than hourly charges, providing budget certainty for project planning.
For standard moves within New York, scheduling 5-7 days ahead works well. This allows time for permit processing and ensures trailer availability on your preferred date.
Oversize loads requiring special permits need longer lead times—typically 7-10 days minimum. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment or tight delivery windows benefit from even earlier scheduling to coordinate all logistics.
Emergency transport is sometimes possible for critical situations, though it may involve expedited permit fees and premium scheduling rates. The key is communication—the earlier you know about an equipment move, the better we can accommodate your timeline and budget requirements.
Yes, we provide transport services throughout New York State and extend into neighboring states when needed. Our primary service area focuses on the Capital Region, North Country, and Adirondack areas where our local knowledge provides the most value.
Longer distance moves to New York City, Long Island, or out-of-state destinations are handled through our network of qualified carriers. This ensures you get the same professional standards regardless of distance while leveraging local expertise in each region.
For multi-state moves, we coordinate all permits, route planning, and logistics. You work with one point of contact throughout the process rather than dealing with multiple companies. This streamlined approach reduces communication issues and ensures accountability from pickup to delivery.
Every piece of equipment is secured using proper tie-down points, chains, and straps rated for the specific load. We follow Department of Transportation securement regulations and manufacturer guidelines for each equipment type.
Pre-transport inspections document equipment condition and identify any special handling requirements. During transport, our operators maintain communication and monitor load securement at regular intervals, especially after road condition changes or weather events.
All our operators are experienced with heavy equipment transport and understand the unique balance and securement needs of different machinery types. Insurance coverage protects against damage during transport, though proper handling and securement prevent most issues from occurring. You receive documentation of all safety procedures and can request photos of load securement for your records.
