When your excavator, bulldozer, or specialty equipment needs to move, timing matters. You’ve got crews waiting, deadlines approaching, and projects that can’t afford delays.
Our lowboy trailer transport services handle everything from compact skid steers to 40-ton excavators. We understand Batchellerville’s terrain, access challenges, and the local regulations that can complicate equipment moves. Your machinery arrives positioned exactly where you need it, ready for immediate deployment.
No more coordinating multiple carriers or wondering if your equipment will show up when promised. We handle the permits, route planning, and specialized loading equipment so you can focus on the work that matters.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment throughout Saratoga County since our logging days in 1997. We know the back roads, the seasonal restrictions, and the site access challenges that come with operating in upstate New York.
Our family-owned operation combines decades of local experience with professional-grade lowboy trailers and specialized transport equipment. When other contractors need reliable equipment moving, they call us because we understand what’s at stake when machinery needs to be somewhere specific at a specific time.
You’re working with people who live here, understand the terrain, and have built relationships throughout the construction community in Batchellerville and beyond.
We start with the specifics: equipment dimensions, weight, pickup location, and destination. This determines which trailer configuration works best and identifies any permit requirements or route restrictions.
Our team handles the paperwork, secures necessary permits, and coordinates timing with your schedule. We arrive with the appropriate lowboy trailer – whether that’s a standard drop deck, RGN (Removable Gooseneck), or specialized Landoll trailer based on your equipment’s loading requirements.
Loading happens with proper rigging and tie-down procedures. Your equipment gets positioned securely for transport, with protection for hydraulic components and careful attention to weight distribution. Delivery includes precise positioning at your destination, whether that’s a job site, storage yard, or dealer location.

Our equipment moving services cover the full range of construction machinery common to Batchellerville area projects. Excavators, bulldozers, track loaders, and compact equipment all move regularly between job sites, dealers, and storage locations.
Saratoga County’s construction activity creates constant demand for reliable equipment transport. From residential site preparation in Batchellerville’s growing neighborhoods to commercial projects throughout the region, contractors need equipment where and when they need it.
We handle oversize loads, standard machinery transport, and specialty equipment that requires specific trailer configurations. Our lowboy trailers accommodate equipment up to legal width and height limits, with options for permitted oversize moves when necessary. Ground loading capabilities mean we can handle equipment that can’t use ramps, and our hydraulic tilt trailers work with low-clearance machines.
Our lowboy trailers handle excavators from mini-excavators up to 40-ton machines, bulldozers, track loaders, skid steers, compact track loaders, and specialty equipment like boom lifts and scissor lifts. The key factors are weight, dimensions, and ground clearance.
Standard lowboy trailers work for most construction equipment, while RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers handle equipment that needs to be driven on and off. For equipment with very low ground clearance, we use specialized Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capabilities.
We evaluate each piece of equipment individually to determine the best transport method. This includes checking weight distribution, securing points, and any special handling requirements for hydraulic systems or delicate components.
New York requires permits for loads exceeding standard legal dimensions: 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or specific weight limits. We handle all permit applications through the New York Department of Transportation, including route approvals and timing restrictions.
Oversize transport in New York is limited to specific hours – typically half-hour before sunrise to half-hour after sunset on weekdays, with Saturday restrictions ending at noon. No oversize moves are permitted on Sundays or major holidays.
We factor permit costs and timing restrictions into your transport quote upfront. Our experience with New York regulations means we know which routes work for different equipment sizes and can plan accordingly to meet your delivery timeline.
Lowboy trailers have a fixed drop deck that sits close to the ground, ideal for tall equipment that needs maximum vertical clearance. They’re loaded with ramps or cranes and work well for most standard construction equipment.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that creates a ramp for driving equipment directly onto the trailer. This works best for self-propelled equipment like excavators and bulldozers that can drive under their own power.
Landoll trailers feature hydraulic tilt capabilities, allowing the entire deck to tilt for ground-level loading. These are essential for equipment with very low ground clearance, like some scissor lifts or specialty machinery that can’t navigate standard ramps.
For standard equipment moves within Saratoga County, we typically need 24-48 hours notice to coordinate scheduling and ensure the appropriate trailer is available. Rush moves can often be accommodated with same-day or next-day service depending on equipment availability.
Oversize loads requiring permits need additional lead time – usually 3-5 business days to process permits and plan routes. During peak construction season (spring through fall), scheduling further in advance ensures availability during your preferred timeframe.
Weather can impact scheduling, particularly during winter months when road conditions affect safe transport of heavy equipment. We monitor forecasts and may recommend timing adjustments to ensure safe delivery of your machinery.
Yes, our equipment transport service includes professional loading and unloading with appropriate rigging equipment. We bring the necessary straps, chains, and blocking materials to secure your equipment properly for transport.
For equipment that can’t be driven onto trailers, we coordinate crane services or use specialized loading equipment. This is common with non-running machinery or equipment that requires lifting due to size or configuration constraints.
At the destination, we position equipment precisely where you need it, whether that’s a specific spot on a job site or organized placement in a storage yard. Our operators understand construction sites and work carefully around existing equipment, materials, and ongoing work.
We maintain comprehensive commercial auto insurance and cargo coverage specifically for heavy equipment transport. This includes protection for the equipment being transported as well as liability coverage for the transport operation.
Our insurance covers equipment from the time it’s loaded until it’s safely delivered and positioned at the destination. We provide certificate of insurance documentation when required by job sites or equipment owners.
For high-value equipment or specialty machinery, we can arrange additional coverage as needed. We recommend discussing insurance requirements during the initial quote process to ensure appropriate coverage levels for your specific equipment and transport needs.
