When your excavator, bulldozer, or specialized machinery needs to move, you can’t afford delays or damage. Your equipment represents a significant investment, and every day it’s out of commission costs you money.
With proper lowboy trailer transport, your equipment arrives exactly as it left—ready to work. No scratches, no mechanical issues, no delays that push back your entire project timeline. You get predictable scheduling, transparent pricing, and the peace of mind that comes from working with operators who understand the value of what they’re moving.
Your job sites run smoother when equipment moves happen seamlessly in the background, handled by professionals who’ve been doing this for decades.
We’ve been moving equipment safely across Long Island since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation and specialized transport services, with Josh’s son joining as a partner in 2022 to continue the family tradition.
Unlike larger transport companies, Josh is personally involved in almost every move. That means direct communication, accountability, and the kind of attention to detail that only comes from an owner who stakes his reputation on every job.
We’ve built our business on long-term relationships with contractors and property owners throughout Barkers Grove and the surrounding areas. When you need equipment moved, you’re not just hiring a transport service—you’re partnering with neighbors who understand local routes, regulations, and the unique challenges of moving heavy equipment in our region.
Equipment moving starts with understanding exactly what you need transported, where it’s going, and when it needs to arrive. We assess your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements to select the right trailer—whether that’s a standard lowboy, RGN (removable gooseneck), or specialized Landoll trailer.
Next comes route planning and permit coordination. We handle all the regulatory requirements, from oversize load permits to escort vehicles if needed. You don’t have to worry about compliance issues or unexpected delays at inspection points.
On moving day, our experienced operators arrive with the proper equipment and safety gear. Loading happens carefully using hydraulic systems or ground-loading techniques depending on your equipment type. During transport, we maintain communication about progress and any route adjustments.
Your equipment gets delivered to the exact location you specified, unloaded safely, and positioned where you need it. We don’t consider the job complete until your equipment is ready to work and you’re completely satisfied with the service.
Ready to get started?
Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to massive bulldozers and specialized construction machinery. We operate lowboy trailers, RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers, and Landoll sliding axle trailers to handle different equipment types and loading situations.
For taller equipment like scissor lifts and boom lifts, our low-profile trailers provide the clearance needed to navigate under bridges and power lines safely. Hydraulic tilt trailers make loading easier for tracked equipment, while our ground-loading capabilities accommodate machines that can drive on and off under their own power.
Living and working in the Barkers Grove area gives us distinct advantages. We know which routes work best for oversized loads, understand local permit requirements, and have relationships with municipal authorities that help expedite approvals. We’re familiar with the construction sites, farms, and industrial facilities throughout Long Island, so we can plan the most efficient routes and avoid potential obstacles.
Whether you’re moving equipment between job sites, transporting newly purchased machinery, or relocating equipment for seasonal storage, we have the trailers, experience, and local knowledge to handle your specific requirements safely and efficiently.
We operate several types of specialized trailers to handle different equipment moving needs. Our lowboy trailers work well for most excavators, bulldozers, and standard construction equipment because they sit low to the ground and provide excellent stability during transport.
For equipment that needs front loading or has unusual dimensions, we use RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers where the front section detaches completely. This makes loading much easier for certain types of machinery. We also have Landoll sliding axle trailers that offer flexibility for different load configurations.
When you call for a quote, we’ll ask about your equipment’s specific dimensions, weight, and any special loading requirements. This helps us select the right trailer type and ensure we have everything needed for a safe, efficient move.
Permit coordination is one of the most important aspects of professional equipment moving, and we handle all of this for you. When your equipment exceeds standard width, height, or weight limits, special permits are required from state and local authorities.
We start by calculating your equipment’s exact transported dimensions, including the trailer. Then we apply for the appropriate oversize load permits and coordinate any required escort vehicles or pilot cars. Our experience with Long Island routes means we know which roads have restrictions and can plan accordingly.
You don’t have to worry about compliance issues, unexpected stops, or regulatory problems. We make sure everything is properly permitted and documented before your equipment moves, so there are no surprises or delays during transport.
Our equipment moving quotes include everything needed for a complete, safe transport. This covers the appropriate trailer, experienced operator, fuel, permits, and any required escort vehicles or pilot cars for oversized loads.
We provide transparent, all-inclusive pricing upfront so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees for permits, no surprise charges for route changes, and no additional costs for standard loading and unloading using our hydraulic systems.
The only additional costs would be for special circumstances like after-hours moves, extremely difficult loading conditions, or if you need equipment positioned in a specific location that requires additional time. We discuss any potential extras during the initial quote so you can make informed decisions about your transport needs.
For standard equipment moves within Long Island, we can often accommodate requests with just a few days’ notice, especially during slower periods. However, we recommend scheduling at least a week in advance when possible to ensure availability and proper planning.
Oversized loads that require special permits need more lead time—typically 1-2 weeks—because permit applications take time to process through state and local authorities. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment or difficult access may also need additional planning time.
If you have an emergency situation where equipment needs to move immediately, call us anyway. We understand that construction schedules change and breakdowns happen. While we can’t guarantee immediate availability, we’ll work with you to find the fastest possible solution and may be able to expedite permits in true emergency situations.
Yes, loading and unloading are included in our equipment moving services. Our trailers are equipped with hydraulic loading systems, and our operators are experienced in safely loading different types of construction equipment.
For equipment that can drive under its own power, we use ramps and ground-loading techniques. For non-operational equipment or machines without tracks or wheels, we coordinate with cranes or other lifting equipment as needed. We can often recommend reliable crane operators if specialized lifting is required.
Our goal is to make the entire process as convenient as possible for you. We handle all aspects of the move from pickup to final positioning at the destination. You don’t need to provide labor, equipment, or supervision—just tell us where the equipment is and where you want it delivered.
Yes, we carry comprehensive insurance coverage specifically designed for heavy equipment transport. This includes liability coverage and cargo insurance that protects your equipment during loading, transport, and unloading.
Our insurance coverage recognizes that construction equipment represents a significant investment, often worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. We understand the importance of proper coverage and work with insurance providers who specialize in heavy equipment transport risks.
Before any move, we can provide proof of insurance and discuss coverage limits if you have specific requirements. For extremely high-value equipment, additional coverage can often be arranged. We believe proper insurance is essential for professional equipment moving, and we never cut corners when it comes to protecting your investment.
