Your excavator gets loaded properly, secured according to DOT standards, and delivered exactly when you need it. No surprise fees that wreck your budget. No equipment damage that stops your project cold.
The difference is working with drivers who understand that your bulldozer isn’t just machinery – it’s how you make your living. We handle lowboy trailer transport, RGN hauling, and specialized equipment carriers throughout Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties.
Your equipment shows up ready to work, not ready for the repair shop.
We’ve been serving North Ballston Spa since 1997. We started as a logging operation and know what it means to move heavy equipment safely through upstate New York terrain.
We’re not the biggest hauling company around, but we’re the one that shows up when we say we will and handles your equipment like it’s our own. Three counties of local experience means we know which routes work for oversized loads and which back roads have seasonal weight restrictions.
Your equipment matters to your business. It matters to ours too.
First, we assess your equipment and route requirements. Different machines need different trailers – a compact excavator ships differently than a 40-ton bulldozer. We determine if you need a lowboy, RGN, or Landoll trailer based on your equipment’s dimensions and weight.
Next, we handle all permit requirements and route planning. Oversized loads require specific permits and pilot cars in certain areas. We coordinate with DOT regulations and plan routes that avoid low bridges and weight-restricted roads.
Finally, we secure your equipment using proper tie-down techniques and transport it safely to your destination. Our drivers know the difference between a rushed delivery and a careful one. Your equipment arrives in the same condition it left, ready to get back to work.

Our equipment moving services cover the full range of construction machinery transport needs. We handle excavators, bulldozers, compactors, skid steers, and specialized construction tools using lowboy trailers, RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers, and Landoll sliding axle trailers.
North Ballston Spa’s location near major construction corridors means equipment frequently moves between job sites. We understand local traffic patterns, seasonal road restrictions, and the best routes for oversized loads heading to Saratoga Springs, Albany, or the Adirondack region.
Every transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage, DOT-compliant securing, and coordination with local authorities when permits are required. We also provide loading and unloading assistance when your job site lacks the proper equipment to handle heavy machinery safely.
We transport all types of construction equipment including excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, compactors, skid steers, motor graders, and specialized construction attachments. Lowboy trailers are ideal for non-road-rated machinery that’s too tall or heavy for standard trailers.
The key advantage of lowboy trailers is their low deck height – usually 18 to 24 inches off the ground. This allows us to transport equipment up to 12 feet tall while staying within legal height limits. We also handle oversize loads that require special permits and pilot car escorts.
If your equipment has tracks, wheels, or needs to be loaded from the front or rear, we have the right trailer configuration to handle it safely.
Equipment protection starts with proper loading and securing techniques. We use DOT-approved tie-down methods specific to each type of machinery. Tracked equipment gets secured differently than wheeled equipment, and we adjust our approach based on the machine’s center of gravity and attachment points.
Our drivers are trained specifically for heavy equipment transport. They understand how expensive mistakes can be and take extra time to ensure everything is properly secured before leaving your site. We also inspect tie-downs at regular intervals during longer hauls.
Comprehensive cargo insurance covers your equipment from the moment it’s loaded until final delivery. We also coordinate loading and unloading assistance when your job site lacks proper equipment to handle heavy machinery safely.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s dimensions and weight. Loads over 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or 80,000 pounds total weight typically require oversize permits from the New York State Department of Transportation.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities when required. Some routes require pilot car escorts, especially when crossing bridges or traveling through congested areas. We factor permit costs and processing time into your delivery schedule upfront.
The permit process can take 2-5 business days depending on the route and load specifications. We recommend scheduling equipment moves at least a week in advance to allow proper permit processing time, especially for loads requiring multiple state permits.
Equipment transport costs depend on several factors: the size and weight of your machinery, distance traveled, permit requirements, and whether pilot cars are needed. Local moves within Saratoga County typically cost less than long-distance hauls to other states.
A standard excavator transport within 50 miles might range from $800-1,500, while oversized loads requiring permits and pilot cars can cost significantly more. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees – you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
The most cost-effective approach is combining multiple equipment moves when possible. If you’re moving several machines to the same job site, we can often reduce per-unit costs by coordinating deliveries efficiently.
Yes, we offer emergency transport services when equipment breakdowns or project delays create urgent delivery needs. Construction schedules don’t always go according to plan, and sometimes you need equipment moved immediately to keep a project on track.
Emergency services typically involve expedited permit processing and priority scheduling. While this may involve additional costs, we understand that project delays often cost more than rush delivery fees. We’ll work with you to find the fastest legal route to get your equipment where it needs to be.
For best results, call us as soon as you know you need emergency transport. The earlier we can start permit applications and route planning, the faster we can get your equipment moving safely and legally.
We provide loading and unloading assistance when your job site lacks the proper equipment to handle heavy machinery safely. This includes coordinating with crane services, providing ramps for self-loading equipment, or using our hydraulic loading systems.
Loading services are especially important for equipment that can’t drive itself onto the trailer. We work with local crane operators and have relationships with equipment rental companies that can provide temporary loading assistance when needed.
The key is planning ahead. Let us know about your site conditions when requesting a quote – whether you have a loading dock, crane access, or need us to arrange loading equipment. This ensures we bring the right trailer configuration and support equipment for your specific situation.
