Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving the Hampton area since 1997, evolving from a logging operation to a full-service excavation and trucking company. Josh oversees nearly every job personally, ensuring the same attention to detail that’s built our reputation across Long Island.
We understand Hampton’s unique challenges – from narrow coastal roads to strict municipal regulations. Our drivers know which routes work for oversized loads and which bridges have weight restrictions that could delay your project.
As a family-owned operation, we’re not trying to be the biggest equipment moving company. We’re focused on being the most reliable one, building relationships that last beyond a single transport job.
First, we assess your equipment specifications, pickup location, and delivery requirements. This includes checking dimensions, weight, and any special handling needs for hydraulic attachments or delicate components.

Our lowboy trailers handle equipment up to 100,000 pounds, from compact excavators to large bulldozers and specialty construction machinery. We also provide RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for taller equipment and Landoll trailers for ground-loading applications.
Hampton’s coastal location creates unique transport challenges. Salt air affects equipment, narrow roads limit trailer options, and seasonal traffic patterns impact delivery timing. We’ve navigated these conditions for years and know how to protect your investment while meeting tight construction deadlines.
Every transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage, proper equipment securing, and direct communication throughout the process. Whether you’re moving a single piece of equipment or coordinating multiple deliveries for a large project, we handle the details that keep construction projects running smoothly.
We transport all types of construction equipment including excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, compactors, pavers, rollers, and specialized machinery. Our lowboy trailers are rated for loads up to 100,000 pounds, and we have RGN trailers for taller equipment that won’t fit on standard lowboys.
For equipment with hydraulic attachments or delicate components, we use specialized securing techniques to prevent damage during transport. We’ve moved everything from compact utility tractors to large excavators across Hampton and the broader Long Island area.
If you have custom or specialty equipment, we’ll assess the dimensions and weight requirements to determine the best trailer and transport approach for your specific machinery.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for oversized loads in Hampton and throughout New York. This includes DOT permits, route surveys, and coordination with local authorities when necessary.
Hampton has specific regulations about truck sizes, moving hours, and route restrictions that vary by season and location. We maintain current knowledge of these requirements and have established relationships with permitting offices to expedite the process.
For loads that require pilot cars or police escorts, we coordinate those services as well. You don’t need to worry about navigating the complex permitting process – we handle all regulatory compliance to keep your project moving forward legally and safely.
Equipment moving costs depend on several factors including equipment size and weight, transport distance, permit requirements, and timing. Local moves within Hampton typically cost less than long-distance transport to other parts of Long Island or beyond.
We provide detailed, upfront estimates that include all costs – transport, permits, insurance, and any special handling requirements. No surprise fees or fuel surcharges that can blow your project budget.
For projects requiring multiple equipment moves or regular transport services, we can discuss volume pricing. The key is getting an accurate assessment of your specific requirements so we can provide realistic pricing that fits your construction timeline and budget.
Most local equipment moves in Hampton can be scheduled within 24-48 hours, depending on equipment availability and permit requirements. Oversized loads requiring special permits may need additional lead time for regulatory approval.

For emergency situations where equipment breakdown threatens project deadlines, we offer expedited transport services. The key is calling us as soon as you know you need equipment moved so we can plan accordingly and keep your project on track.
Yes, while we’re based in the Hampton area, we provide equipment transport throughout Long Island and the broader New York region. We regularly move equipment between job sites, equipment dealers, and rental facilities across the area.
Our drivers are familiar with routes throughout Long Island and understand the specific challenges of different areas – from New York City’s strict regulations to rural areas with weight-restricted bridges.
Whether you need equipment moved from a dealer in Suffolk County to your Hampton job site, or from your completed project to the next location, we handle the logistics and route planning to ensure safe, efficient transport.
We maintain comprehensive commercial insurance coverage that protects your equipment from pickup to final delivery. This includes coverage for damage, theft, and liability during transport.
Our insurance meets all DOT requirements for commercial equipment hauling, and we can provide certificates of insurance for your project documentation. We also maintain proper licensing and safety certifications for all our drivers and equipment.
Before transport begins, we document equipment condition and take photos to establish baseline condition. This protects both you and us in the unlikely event of any issues during transport. Our goal is to deliver your equipment in exactly the same condition it was loaded.
