When your excavator, bulldozer, or specialized machinery needs to move, you need transport that works the first time. No delays waiting for permits. No damage from inexperienced handling. No surprise costs that blow your budget.
Professional equipment moving means your project timeline stays intact. Your machinery arrives exactly when you need it, properly secured and ready to work. You get transparent pricing upfront, so you can plan accordingly.
The difference between professional transport and cheap alternatives shows up when it matters most – in your project’s success and your bottom line.
We’ve been serving the Capital Region since 1997, building our reputation one successful transport at a time. We understand the unique challenges of moving heavy equipment in New York’s terrain and regulatory environment.
We own our equipment – lowboy trailers, RGN units, and specialized hauling rigs – which means we control scheduling, maintenance, and availability. When your equipment needs to move, we’re not scrambling to find rental trailers or subcontractors.
Our team knows Lick Springs’ roads, bridge clearances, and local requirements. This local knowledge prevents delays and ensures compliance with all transportation regulations.
First, we assess your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements. We determine the right trailer type – whether that’s a standard lowboy, RGN (removable gooseneck), or specialized Landoll trailer for your specific machinery.
Next, we handle all permits and routing requirements. Our team secures oversize permits if needed, arranges escort vehicles, and plans the safest, most efficient route to your destination.
On transport day, our experienced operators load your equipment using proper rigging and securement techniques. We maintain communication throughout the move, so you know exactly when to expect delivery. Upon arrival, we carefully unload and position your equipment where you need it.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to large construction machinery. We handle lowboy trailer transport for standard equipment, RGN trailer hauling for items requiring ground loading, and Landoll trailer services for specialized loads.
In the Lick Springs area, we regularly transport excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, scissor lifts, generators, and industrial equipment. Our fleet includes hydraulic tilt trailers for machinery that requires specific loading angles and sliding axle trailers that adapt to various load configurations.
We provide complete transport solutions – loading assistance, permit acquisition, route planning, and delivery coordination. Whether you’re moving equipment between job sites, delivering new purchases, or relocating machinery for storage, we handle the logistics so you can focus on your work.
Our lowboy trailers handle a wide range of construction and industrial equipment including excavators up to 80,000 pounds, bulldozers, motor graders, cranes, large generators, and specialized machinery. The low deck design accommodates tall equipment while staying within height restrictions.
We also transport agricultural equipment, mining machinery, and industrial tools that require specialized handling. Our RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers are ideal for equipment that needs to be driven on and off, while our Landoll trailers work well for forklifts, scissor lifts, and equipment requiring specific loading angles.
If you’re unsure whether your equipment fits our capabilities, provide us with the dimensions and weight. We’ll recommend the appropriate trailer type and handle all the logistics to ensure safe, compliant transport.
Equipment moving costs depend on several factors: equipment size and weight, transport distance, permit requirements, and timeline flexibility. Local moves within 50 miles typically range from $800 to $2,500, while longer distances run $2.50 to $4.00 per mile.
Oversize loads requiring special permits and escort vehicles cost more due to additional regulatory requirements. Equipment that fits within legal dimensions (8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, 80,000 pounds) generally costs less than machinery requiring oversize permits.
We provide transparent quotes that include all costs upfront – no hidden fees for permits, fuel surcharges, or loading assistance. Flexible scheduling can reduce costs, while rush deliveries or peak season transport may carry premium rates. Contact us with your specific requirements for an accurate estimate.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements and route planning for oversize and overweight loads. Our team secures the necessary state and local permits, coordinates with utility companies for clearance verification, and arranges escort vehicles when required.
We plan routes that avoid restricted roads, low bridges, and weight-limited structures. This includes checking bridge capacities, overhead clearances, and any temporary restrictions that could affect transport. Our experience with New York’s transportation regulations ensures compliance and prevents delays.
For complex moves involving multiple states or extreme dimensions, we coordinate with transportation authorities well in advance. We also provide all required documentation and maintain proper insurance coverage for oversize load transport, giving you complete peace of mind throughout the process.
Lowboy trailers have a fixed deck height and are loaded using ramps or cranes. They’re ideal for equipment that can be lifted or pushed onto the trailer. RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that creates a ground-level ramp for easy loading.
RGN trailers work best for self-propelled equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and tractors that can drive directly onto the trailer. The hydraulic detachment system makes loading and unloading faster and safer for tracked or wheeled machinery.
Both trailer types handle heavy loads effectively, but RGNs offer more flexibility for equipment that’s difficult to lift or position. We select the appropriate trailer based on your equipment’s characteristics, loading site conditions, and delivery requirements. Our goal is to choose the most efficient and cost-effective transport method for your specific situation.
For standard equipment moves within legal dimensions, we typically need 3-5 business days notice to ensure proper scheduling and coordination. Oversize loads requiring permits need 1-2 weeks advance notice due to permit processing times and route approval requirements.
Peak construction season (spring through fall) requires more advance planning as demand for equipment transport increases. Emergency moves can often be accommodated within 24-48 hours, though they may carry premium rates due to expedited scheduling.
Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment, long distances, or challenging delivery sites benefit from early coordination. This allows time for site visits, permit acquisition, and coordination with other contractors. The more notice you provide, the better we can optimize routing and scheduling to minimize costs and ensure smooth transport.
Our safety protocols begin with proper equipment assessment and trailer selection. We inspect all rigging points, check tire conditions, and verify that equipment is properly serviced before loading. Our operators are trained in proper securement techniques using chains, binders, and specialized rigging equipment.
During transport, we monitor load securement at regular intervals and adjust as needed. Our drivers are experienced in handling heavy loads and understand how equipment weight affects braking, turning, and overall vehicle stability. We also maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and follow all DOT safety regulations.
For oversize loads, we coordinate with escort vehicles and maintain communication throughout the transport. Our equipment undergoes regular maintenance and safety inspections to ensure reliable operation. These safety measures protect your valuable equipment while ensuring compliance with all transportation regulations and industry best practices.
