When your excavator breaks down at a job site or you need construction equipment moved between locations, every hour of delay costs money. You need transport services that understand the stakes.
We handle the logistics so your equipment gets where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. Our lowboy trailers accommodate everything from compact excavators to full-size bulldozers, and our drivers know how to secure loads properly for the road ahead.
No guesswork about permits or route planning. We handle the details that keep your equipment safe and your projects on schedule.
Since 1997, we’ve been moving equipment across the Capital District for contractors who can’t afford delays or damage. What started as a logging operation has grown into full-service excavation and transport, but our approach hasn’t changed.
Every load gets the same attention we’d want for our own equipment. Josh oversees most transports personally, ensuring proper tie-down techniques and route selection that protect your investment.
We know every back road, seasonal weight restriction, and low bridge between Clifton Park and the surrounding counties. That local knowledge translates to safer transport and fewer surprises on moving day.
First, we assess your equipment and transport requirements. Weight, dimensions, pickup location, and destination all factor into route planning and permit requirements. No surprises later.
Next, we handle all DOT compliance and oversize load permits if needed. Our drivers arrive with the right trailer configuration and proper securing equipment for your specific machinery.
Loading happens with care and precision. We use proper tie-down points and securing techniques that meet Department of Transportation standards. Your equipment stays put during transport.
Finally, delivery and unloading at your destination. We coordinate timing with your schedule and ensure safe placement of equipment exactly where you need it.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from emergency relocations to planned project transfers. Lowboy trailers, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) configurations, and Landoll trailers handle different equipment types and loading requirements.
In Clifton Park’s competitive construction market, contractors need transport services that understand local challenges. Narrow residential streets, seasonal road restrictions, and proximity to Albany’s commercial districts all influence route selection and timing.
We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and proper DOT registrations for interstate transport when needed. Whether you’re moving equipment from a rental yard in Albany or relocating machinery to a job site in Saratoga Springs, we handle the regulatory requirements that keep your transport legal and protected.
Emergency transport services available for equipment breakdowns that threaten project deadlines. Sometimes waiting until next week isn’t an option.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, compactors, skid steers, wheel loaders, and other construction equipment up to 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. Our lowboy trailers accommodate equipment up to 11.5 feet in height legally without special permits.
For taller equipment or overweight loads, we handle all oversize permit requirements through New York DOT. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers work best for tracked equipment that can drive directly onto the deck, while standard lowboy configurations suit wheeled machinery loaded by ramp.
Each transport gets evaluated individually for proper trailer selection and securing methods. We match the right equipment to your specific hauling needs rather than forcing your machinery onto the wrong trailer type.
Local equipment transport typically ranges from $150-300 per hour depending on equipment size, distance, and complexity of the move. Factors include trailer type needed, permit requirements, and accessibility at pickup and delivery locations.
For moves within 20 miles, most jobs fall into the $300-800 range for standard construction equipment. Oversize loads requiring permits or pilot cars increase costs due to additional regulatory requirements and coordination needed.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or fuel surcharges. Distance, equipment dimensions, and any special handling requirements all factor into your quote. Emergency or rush services carry premium pricing due to the immediate response required.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements and DOT compliance for oversize loads. New York requires permits for equipment exceeding 8 feet 6 inches width, 13 feet 6 inches height, or 80,000 pounds gross weight.
Our team manages permit applications, route approvals, and any pilot car requirements for your specific transport. We know which routes allow oversize loads and timing restrictions that apply to different types of equipment moves.
All our drivers maintain proper commercial licensing and clean driving records required for heavy haul transport. Insurance coverage meets DOT requirements and protects your equipment throughout the transport process from pickup to final delivery.
Lowboy trailers have a fixed gooseneck and require ramps or loading docks to get equipment on and off the deck. They work well for wheeled equipment and situations where loading facilities are available at both ends of the transport.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers detach at the front, allowing the deck to lower to ground level for direct drive-on loading. This configuration works better for tracked equipment like excavators and dozers that can drive directly onto the trailer without ramps.
We select trailer type based on your equipment and loading conditions at pickup and delivery locations. Some job sites don’t have loading facilities, making RGN trailers the practical choice for safe loading and unloading without additional equipment needed.
For standard equipment moves, 2-3 days advance notice allows proper scheduling and route planning. Oversize loads requiring permits need 5-7 days minimum due to permit processing times through New York DOT.
Emergency transport services are available for equipment breakdowns or urgent project needs. We maintain backup equipment and can often accommodate same-day or next-day emergency moves, though premium pricing applies for immediate response.
Peak construction season (April through October) sees higher demand, so earlier scheduling helps ensure availability when you need it. Winter months offer more flexibility but weather conditions can impact scheduling and route selection for equipment transport.
We carry comprehensive commercial insurance including cargo coverage that protects your equipment from pickup to delivery. Coverage includes damage from accidents, theft, and weather-related incidents during transport.
Our insurance meets all DOT requirements for interstate transport and covers equipment values up to policy limits. We provide certificate of insurance documentation when required by job sites or equipment rental companies.
Before transport begins, we document equipment condition and any existing damage to establish baseline condition. This protects both parties and ensures any transport-related damage gets properly addressed through insurance channels without disputes or delays.
