Our equipment moving service includes lowboy trailers rated for over 100,000 pounds, perfect for excavators, bulldozers, and other heavy construction equipment. These low-deck trailers provide optimal clearance for tall equipment while maintaining stability during transport through Factory Village’s varied terrain.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers offer drive-on loading capabilities, eliminating the need for cranes or loading equipment. This saves time and reduces the risk of damage during loading and unloading operations. Landoll trailers feature hydraulic tilt-bed design for easy loading at better angles, particularly useful for equipment with low ground clearance.
Factory Village’s location in upstate New York presents unique transport challenges, from seasonal weather conditions to local road restrictions. Our operators understand these conditions and plan routes accordingly. We handle all necessary permits for oversize loads and coordinate with local authorities to ensure compliance with state and local regulations.
We transport all types of construction equipment including excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, skid steers, compactors, and specialty machinery. Our fleet includes lowboy trailers rated for over 100,000 pounds, RGN trailers for easy drive-on loading, and Landoll trailers for specialized equipment with unique loading requirements.
Equipment dimensions and weight determine which trailer type works best for your transport. Lowboy trailers handle most standard construction equipment, while RGN trailers work well for self-propelled machinery that can drive onto the deck. Landoll trailers are ideal for equipment with low ground clearance or machinery that requires specific loading angles.
We also handle oversize and overweight loads that require special permits. We coordinate with New York state authorities to ensure all regulatory requirements are met for legal transport through Factory Village and surrounding areas.
Transport time depends on distance, equipment size, and permit requirements. Local moves within Factory Village and surrounding counties typically take 1-2 days including loading and delivery. Longer distance transport can take 3-5 days depending on the destination and any special routing requirements.
Oversize loads may require specific travel times or routes as mandated by state regulations. Some oversized equipment must travel during off-peak hours or follow designated truck routes. We coordinate these requirements during the planning phase to provide accurate delivery timelines.
Weather conditions also affect transport schedules, particularly during winter months when road conditions may limit heavy equipment movement. We monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to ensure safe transport of your valuable equipment.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and regulatory compliance for oversize and overweight loads. New York state requires permits for equipment exceeding standard legal dimensions: 8 feet 6 inches width, 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, and specific height restrictions depending on the route.
We understand New York Department of Transportation requirements and work directly with state authorities to obtain necessary permits. This includes route planning to avoid restricted roads, bridges with weight or height limitations, and coordination with utility companies when required.
Permit processing typically takes 2-3 business days, which we factor into your transport timeline. We also handle any escort vehicle requirements for extremely large loads and coordinate with local authorities for special routing through Factory Village and surrounding areas.
Equipment safety starts with proper loading using appropriate tie-down points and securing methods specific to each piece of machinery. Our operators are trained in proper rigging techniques and use high-strength chains, binders, and straps rated for the equipment weight and transport conditions.
We conduct pre-transport inspections of both the equipment and trailer to identify any potential issues before departure. This includes checking hydraulic systems, ensuring all fluids are properly contained, and verifying that equipment is in stable condition for transport.
During transport, our drivers maintain appropriate speeds for the load and road conditions, particularly important when navigating Factory Village’s varied terrain. We also carry comprehensive insurance coverage and maintain communication throughout the transport process to address any issues that may arise.
Yes, we regularly handle deliveries to construction sites with challenging access conditions. We evaluate site access during the planning phase, including road width, turning radius requirements, ground conditions, and any overhead restrictions that might affect delivery.
For sites with limited access, we may recommend specific trailer types or coordinate with site contractors to ensure adequate space for maneuvering during loading and unloading. Sometimes this involves temporary road improvements or coordination with utility companies to raise lines temporarily.
Factory Village area construction sites often present unique access challenges due to terrain, existing structures, or seasonal ground conditions. Our local experience helps us anticipate these issues and plan accordingly. When necessary, we coordinate with site supervisors to schedule deliveries during optimal conditions for safe equipment placement.
Equipment transport pricing depends on several factors including equipment dimensions and weight, transport distance, permit requirements, and any special handling needs. We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees so you can budget accurately for your transport needs.
Oversize loads requiring permits and escort vehicles cost more than standard legal loads due to additional regulatory requirements and coordination needed. Specialized equipment requiring specific trailer types or loading methods may also affect pricing based on the equipment and expertise required.
We evaluate each transport request individually and provide detailed quotes that break down all costs including permits, escorts, and any special services required. This approach ensures you understand exactly what you’re paying for and helps prevent unexpected charges during the transport process.
