When your excavator needs to get to the job site tomorrow morning, or your scissor lift has to be at three different locations this week, you need equipment moving that actually works. No guessing about arrival times. No damage from inexperienced operators. No delays that cost you money while your crew stands around waiting.
Your equipment gets loaded properly, transported safely, and delivered exactly when you need it. The job site stays on schedule, your machinery arrives in the same condition it left, and you can focus on the work instead of worrying about whether your equipment will show up.
That’s what happens when you work with operators who understand that your equipment is how you make your living, and moving it isn’t just about getting from point A to point B.
We’ve been serving Ballston Center and Saratoga County since 1997. We started as a logging operation and know what it means to move heavy equipment safely and efficiently.
This is a family business where Josh is on-site for virtually every job. We’re not a faceless corporation sending whoever is available. When you call us, you’re working with people who live in this community and have to stand behind the work we do.
We understand Ballston Center’s terrain, the local regulations, and what it takes to get equipment moved properly in this area. Your neighbors have trusted us with their most expensive machinery, and we’ve built our reputation one successful move at a time.
First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer for the job. Lowboy trailers for tall equipment that needs maximum height clearance. RGN trailers with removable goosenecks for easy drive-on loading. Landoll trailers for ground-level loading when you can’t use ramps.
Next, we handle permits and route planning. Some moves require oversize permits, others don’t. We know the local requirements and take care of the paperwork so your equipment moves legally and safely.
On moving day, our experienced operators load your equipment using proper tie-down procedures and transport it directly to your destination. We communicate throughout the process so you know exactly when to expect delivery.
The equipment arrives in the same condition it left, ready to work. No surprises, no damage, no delays that cost you money.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers, scissor lifts to boom lifts, and everything in between. We have lowboy trailers, RGN trailers, and Landoll trailers to handle different types of equipment and loading situations.
In Ballston Center, we regularly move equipment for construction companies working on new home developments, commercial contractors handling site preparation projects, and industrial operations that need machinery relocated between facilities. We understand the local terrain challenges, from the rolling hills to seasonal weather conditions that affect transport.
Our service area covers all of Saratoga County, and we coordinate with local authorities when permits are required. We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and use professional-grade tie-down equipment to ensure your machinery arrives safely.
Whether you need a single piece of equipment moved across town or multiple machines transported to a new job site, we have the trailers and expertise to handle it efficiently.
We use three main types of trailers depending on your equipment and loading requirements. Lowboy trailers have a low deck height that’s ideal for tall equipment like excavators and bulldozers while still meeting height restrictions under bridges. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that allows equipment to be driven directly onto the trailer, which works well for self-propelled machinery.
Landoll trailers offer hydraulic tilt capabilities and ground-level loading, making them perfect for equipment that can’t use ramps or when you need to load in tight spaces. Each trailer type has specific weight capacities and dimensions, and we select the right one based on your equipment’s size, weight, and how it needs to be loaded.
Our operators are experienced with all three trailer types and know how to properly secure different kinds of equipment for safe transport throughout the Ballston Center area.
Yes, we handle permit requirements as part of our equipment moving service. Not every equipment move requires permits – it depends on the dimensions and weight of your machinery and the route we’re taking. Standard equipment that fits within legal height, width, and weight limits can be transported without special permits.
When permits are required, we take care of the paperwork and coordinate with local authorities. This includes oversize permits for equipment that exceeds standard dimensions and overweight permits when necessary. We know the local requirements in Saratoga County and work with the appropriate agencies to ensure legal compliance.
We also plan routes that avoid restricted roads and bridges when possible, which can sometimes eliminate the need for permits altogether. Our experience with local regulations helps streamline the process and prevent delays that could affect your project timeline.
Equipment safety starts with proper loading and securement. We use professional-grade chains, binders, and tie-down equipment rated for the weight and type of machinery being transported. Our operators are trained in proper tie-down procedures for different equipment types, from tracked excavators to wheeled loaders.
We inspect all tie-down equipment before each move and follow Department of Transportation securement standards. The equipment is positioned properly on the trailer to distribute weight correctly and prevent shifting during transport. We also conduct pre-trip inspections of both the truck and trailer to ensure everything is in safe operating condition.
During transport, we monitor road conditions and adjust our route if necessary to avoid construction zones or rough roads that could affect the load. Our drivers are experienced with heavy haul transport and understand how to operate safely with oversized loads through the Ballston Center area’s varying terrain and traffic conditions.
Equipment moving costs depend on several factors including the size and weight of your machinery, the distance being transported, and the type of trailer required. Local moves within Ballston Center and the immediate area typically cost less than longer hauls to other counties or states.
The type of equipment affects pricing because different machines require different trailers and securement methods. A compact excavator that fits on a standard lowboy trailer costs less to move than a large bulldozer that requires an RGN trailer and oversize permits. Loading complexity also matters – equipment that can be driven onto a trailer costs less than machinery that requires special loading procedures.
We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific equipment and transport requirements. Our pricing includes the appropriate trailer, professional loading and securement, permits if required, and delivery to your specified location. We don’t surprise you with hidden fees or additional charges that weren’t discussed upfront.
For standard equipment moves within the local area, we can often accommodate requests with 24-48 hours notice, depending on our schedule and trailer availability. However, we recommend scheduling at least a week in advance when possible, especially during busy construction seasons in spring and summer.
Moves requiring oversize permits need additional lead time because permit processing can take several days. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment or challenging logistics also benefit from advance planning to ensure everything goes smoothly on moving day.
Emergency equipment moves can sometimes be accommodated on shorter notice, though this may involve additional coordination and potentially higher costs. Weather conditions can also affect scheduling, particularly during winter months when road conditions may not be suitable for heavy haul transport.
The best approach is to contact us as soon as you know you’ll need equipment moved. This gives us time to plan the most efficient route, handle any permit requirements, and ensure we have the right trailer available for your specific equipment.
Yes, we provide equipment transport throughout Saratoga County and surrounding areas. Our service area includes nearby communities like Ballston Spa, Ballston Lake, Malta, and Clifton Park, as well as longer hauls to other counties when needed.
For destinations outside our immediate service area, we coordinate route planning to ensure safe and legal transport. This includes checking bridge weight limits, road restrictions, and permit requirements for different jurisdictions. Some routes may require escort vehicles or have time restrictions for oversized loads.
We maintain relationships with other professional equipment haulers for jobs that require specialized equipment or extend beyond our normal service area. This ensures you get reliable service even for unusual transport requirements or distant destinations.
Distance affects pricing, but we provide transparent estimates that include all costs upfront. Whether you’re moving equipment across town or to a job site in another county, we handle the logistics and ensure your machinery arrives safely and on schedule.
