When your excavator needs to move from one job site to another, or your new piece of equipment needs transport from the dealer, you need more than just a truck with a trailer. You need professionals who understand that one mistake can cost thousands in equipment damage and project delays.
Your equipment arrives exactly when promised, in the same condition it left. We handle everything from permits to route planning, so you can focus on what matters most – getting your job done right.
Every load gets secured according to DOT standards. Every route gets planned for your specific equipment dimensions. Every delivery gets tracked and communicated clearly from pickup to final destination.
We’ve been serving Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties since 1997. What started as a logging operation has evolved into a full-service excavation and transport company that contractors across the Capital Region trust with their most valuable equipment.
We’re not just another trucking company. Josh is on-site for almost every job, ensuring the same attention to detail that built our reputation. When you work with us, you’re working directly with the owners who understand that your equipment isn’t just machinery – it’s how you make your living.
Our drivers know every back road, weight restriction, and seasonal limitation across the tri-county area. That local knowledge means efficient routes, fewer delays, and transport solutions that work in real-world conditions.
First, we assess your equipment dimensions, weight, and destination to determine the right trailer type – whether that’s a standard lowboy, RGN, or specialized Landoll trailer. We handle all permit requirements and route planning before your equipment ever leaves the ground.
On transport day, our experienced drivers arrive with proper tie-down equipment and secure your machinery according to Department of Transportation standards. We communicate pickup and delivery windows clearly, so you can plan your crew schedules accordingly.
Throughout transport, you receive updates on progress and any route adjustments. Your equipment gets delivered to the exact location you specify, ready for immediate use. We don’t consider the job complete until your equipment is positioned exactly where you need it.

Our lowboy and RGN trailer fleet handles everything from compact excavators to full-size bulldozers and specialized construction equipment. We transport across the Capital Region and throughout New York State, with particular expertise navigating the challenging routes between rural job sites and urban construction zones.
Stillwater’s location provides strategic access to major construction markets while maintaining the rural character that requires specialized local knowledge. Our drivers understand seasonal weight restrictions on local roads, know which routes accommodate oversized loads, and maintain relationships with local authorities for efficient permit processing.
We carry comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment from pickup to final delivery. Our drivers hold clean commercial licenses with years of heavy equipment transport experience. Every piece of equipment gets secured using manufacturer-approved tie-down points and DOT-compliant methods.
We maintain a fleet of specialized trailers designed for different equipment types and transport requirements. Standard lowboy trailers work well for most excavators, bulldozers, and compact equipment under standard height restrictions.
For taller equipment or machines that need ground-level loading, we use RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers where the front detaches to create a ramp for easy loading. Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capabilities handle equipment with higher ground clearance or unusual loading requirements.
Our team evaluates each job individually to recommend the most appropriate trailer type based on your equipment dimensions, weight, pickup location, and destination requirements. This ensures safe transport while maintaining cost efficiency for your project.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s dimensions and weight, plus the specific routes we’ll travel. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities to ensure legal compliance throughout the transport process.
For standard equipment within legal limits, no special permits are required. Oversize loads require state permits and sometimes local authority coordination, especially when traveling through municipalities or crossing bridges with weight restrictions.
We factor permit costs and processing time into our initial quote, so you know exactly what to expect. Our experience with New York State DOT requirements and local regulations across the Capital Region means faster permit processing and fewer delays for your transport.
Our pricing includes professional loading and securing of your equipment, transport to your specified destination, and unloading at the delivery location. We provide all necessary tie-down equipment, route planning, and basic permits for legal transport.
You receive clear communication throughout the process, including pickup and delivery time windows, progress updates during transport, and coordination with your crew for efficient loading and unloading. Our experienced drivers handle all aspects of safe equipment transport.
Additional services like after-hours delivery, rush transport, or specialized positioning at the delivery site can be arranged based on your project needs. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so your transport costs stay within your project budget.
We regularly transport equipment throughout the Capital Region, including Albany, Schenectady, Troy, and Saratoga Springs areas. Our primary service area covers Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties, where we maintain detailed knowledge of local roads and restrictions.
For longer distances within New York State or interstate transport, we coordinate with our network of qualified carriers to ensure your equipment receives the same professional handling standards. This allows us to serve customers with equipment moving needs beyond our immediate service area.
Distance affects pricing based on fuel costs, driver time, and any additional permits required for interstate transport. We provide accurate quotes based on your specific pickup and delivery locations, ensuring transparent pricing for your equipment transport needs.
We carry comprehensive commercial insurance that covers your equipment from the moment it’s loaded until final delivery at your job site. This includes protection against damage during loading, transport, and unloading operations.
Our insurance meets all Department of Transportation requirements for commercial equipment transport. Coverage limits are designed to protect high-value construction equipment, and we can provide certificate of insurance documentation for your records or project requirements.
In the unlikely event of transport-related damage, we handle all insurance claims processing directly with our carrier. This streamlined approach minimizes paperwork and delays, getting any issues resolved quickly so your project can proceed on schedule.
For standard equipment transport within our service area, we typically need 24-48 hours advance notice to coordinate drivers, trailers, and any necessary permits. This allows us to plan efficient routes and ensure availability of the appropriate equipment for your transport needs.
Rush transport can often be arranged with same-day or next-day service, though this may involve additional fees for expedited permit processing or driver overtime. Emergency transport for broken-down equipment or urgent project needs receives priority scheduling when possible.
For oversize loads requiring special permits or escort vehicles, we recommend 3-5 days advance notice to allow proper permit processing time. Planning ahead helps ensure your equipment transport integrates smoothly with your project timeline and reduces the risk of weather or scheduling delays.
