No delays from equipment that can’t handle the job. No surprises when rocky terrain requires specialized hauling. No permit headaches because someone else is figuring it out as they go.
Your construction equipment gets loaded properly, transported safely, and delivered exactly where you need it. Our lowboy trailers sit low enough to clear bridges with tall machinery. Our hydraulic systems handle loading and unloading without damaging your investment.
When we’re done, your equipment is positioned and ready for the next phase of your project. Your timeline stays on track because the moving process actually worked the way it was supposed to.
We’ve been handling equipment and excavation projects in Horicon since 1997. We understand the rocky terrain, seasonal access challenges, and permit requirements that make equipment moving in this area different from anywhere else.
We own our lowboy trailers, hydraulic loading equipment, and specialized hauling gear. That means no delays waiting for rental equipment or subcontractors who might show up with the wrong trailer for your specific machinery.
Josh is on-site for most moves to ensure everything goes according to plan. When you’re moving expensive construction equipment, you want someone who’s invested in the outcome, not just collecting a check and moving on to the next job.
First, we assess your equipment and destination requirements. We identify the right trailer type, whether that’s a standard lowboy, RGN (removable gooseneck), or specialized Landoll trailer. We also handle permit requirements upfront so there are no surprises on moving day.
Next comes the actual loading and transport. Our hydraulic systems and ramps handle the loading process safely. We secure everything according to DOT regulations and transport your equipment using routes that account for bridge clearances and road conditions.
Finally, we position your equipment exactly where you need it at the destination. That includes unloading, basic positioning, and making sure everything is ready for your crew to get back to work. The job isn’t done until your equipment is where it needs to be and ready to operate.

Our lowboy trailer fleet handles excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and other construction equipment up to 12 feet tall. We transport everything from compact utility equipment to large industrial machinery that requires specialized carriers.
Landoll trailers work well for equipment that needs ground loading capabilities. The hydraulic tilt feature lets us load machinery that can’t use ramps, including forklifts, scissor lifts, and equipment with limited mobility.
For oversized loads in the Horicon area, we coordinate with local authorities and handle all permit requirements. Rocky terrain and seasonal road conditions require planning, but we’ve been dealing with these challenges for years and know how to navigate them efficiently. Your equipment gets where it needs to go without the complications that come from working with contractors who don’t understand local conditions.
We match the trailer to your specific equipment and transport requirements. Standard lowboy trailers work well for most construction equipment up to 12 feet tall, providing the low deck height needed for bridge clearances.
RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers are ideal when you need to drive equipment directly onto the deck. The detachable front end makes loading easier for tracked equipment like excavators and bulldozers.
Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capabilities handle equipment that can’t use ramps effectively. This includes forklifts, scissor lifts, and machinery with limited ground clearance. The hydraulic system lets us load at ground level, then tilt back to transport position.
We manage all necessary permitting for oversize and overweight loads as part of our service. This includes coordinating with New York State DOT and local authorities to ensure legal compliance throughout the transport route.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s dimensions and weight. Height, width, length, and total weight all factor into what permits are needed and which routes we can use.
We handle the paperwork, coordinate timing requirements, and ensure all permits are in place before your equipment moves. This prevents delays and legal complications that can shut down your project. Most customers appreciate not having to navigate the permit process themselves, especially when dealing with complex state and local requirements.
Yes, but it requires careful planning and sometimes specialized equipment. We evaluate access routes during the initial assessment to identify potential challenges like narrow roads, low bridges, or soft ground conditions.
Horicon’s terrain can be challenging, especially during spring mud season or after heavy rains. We coordinate with property owners and sometimes need to wait for better ground conditions to avoid getting stuck or damaging the site.
For sites with very limited access, we might need to position equipment at the closest accessible point and coordinate with your crew for final positioning. We discuss these logistics upfront so you know exactly what to expect and can plan accordingly.
We carry comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment during transport. All loading, securing, and unloading follows DOT safety protocols to minimize any risk of damage.
Before transport begins, we document the equipment’s condition and secure everything according to manufacturer specifications and regulatory requirements. Our operators are trained specifically for heavy equipment handling.
If damage does occur, our insurance coverage and claims process handle the situation professionally. We work directly with your insurance company or handle claims through our coverage, depending on your preference. The goal is resolving any issues quickly so your project can continue without extended delays.
For standard equipment moves within the local area, we typically need 2-3 days notice to coordinate scheduling and any necessary permits. Rush jobs can sometimes be accommodated, but advance planning works better for everyone.
Oversize loads or equipment requiring special permits need more lead time, usually 1-2 weeks. The permit process takes time, and we want everything in place before your scheduled move date.
Weather conditions also affect scheduling, especially during winter months or spring mud season when ground conditions limit access to some job sites. We’ll work with you to identify the best timing for your specific situation and keep you informed if conditions require schedule adjustments.
Absolutely. Residential construction often requires moving excavators, compact equipment, and specialized machinery to building sites with challenging access conditions.
Home construction sites in the Horicon area frequently have narrow driveways, steep grades, or limited turning radius that require careful planning. We’ve handled everything from moving mini-excavators for foundation work to positioning larger equipment for septic installations.
We coordinate timing with your other contractors to ensure equipment arrives exactly when you need it. This prevents delays and eliminates the need for expensive equipment rental periods while waiting for the right access conditions. Most residential moves can be completed in a single day, getting your project back on schedule quickly.
