When your expensive machinery needs to move, you can’t afford mistakes. You need equipment that arrives intact, on schedule, and ready to work.
That’s what happens when you work with professionals who understand both the equipment and the terrain. Your excavator doesn’t sit damaged in a ditch because someone cut corners on securing it. Your project doesn’t get delayed because permits weren’t handled properly.
You get machinery that’s moved with the same care you’d use yourself. Every strap checked, every route planned, every permit secured before we even touch your equipment.
Josh started our company in 1997 as a logging business, learning the land and terrain across Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties. When we transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, we brought that same deep local knowledge to equipment moving.
We’re not some corporate outfit that treats your machinery like just another load. Josh is on-site for almost every job, making sure your equipment gets the attention it deserves. His son joined as a partner in 2022, keeping this a true family operation.
We know the roads, the soil conditions, the permit requirements, and the challenges that come with moving heavy equipment in this area. That local expertise makes all the difference when your project timeline depends on getting it right.
First, we assess your equipment and the job requirements. Weight, dimensions, pickup location, destination, timeline – everything gets evaluated upfront so there are no surprises later.
Next, we handle all the permits and route planning. New York has strict regulations for heavy equipment transport, and we know exactly what’s required. You don’t have to worry about compliance issues or last-minute permit delays.
Then we move your equipment using professional-grade transport equipment that’s maintained for reliability. We secure everything properly, follow the planned route, and keep you informed throughout the process. Your machinery arrives safely, on schedule, and ready for work.

You get more than just transport when you work with us. We handle the entire process from planning to delivery, including all necessary permits, route coordination, and safety compliance.
Our service covers excavators, bulldozers, loaders, and other heavy construction equipment throughout the Capital Region. We understand the unique challenges of moving equipment in upstate New York – from seasonal weather considerations to local road restrictions.
Every move includes proper securing and protection of your equipment, experienced operators who know how to handle heavy machinery, and clear communication throughout the process. You’ll know exactly when your equipment will be picked up and delivered, with no guesswork or surprises.
New York requires oversize load permits for equipment that exceeds standard dimensions or weight limits. The specific permits depend on your equipment’s size, weight, and transport route.
We handle all permit applications and ensure compliance with state DOT requirements. This includes route restrictions, escort requirements, and timing limitations. For example, oversize loads in New York can only move from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset on weekdays, and must stop at noon on Saturdays.
Getting permits right is crucial – incorrect or missing permits can shut down your transport and delay your entire project. We take care of all the paperwork so your equipment moves legally and on schedule.
Equipment protection starts with proper securing using professional-grade straps, chains, and blocking. Every piece gets secured according to its specific requirements – excavators need different securing methods than bulldozers or loaders.
We inspect all securing points before transport and check them again during longer moves. Our transport equipment is maintained specifically for heavy machinery, with proper tie-down points and weight distribution. We also use protective coverings when weather conditions require them.
The goal is your equipment arriving in exactly the same condition it was loaded. That means no scratches from improper securing, no damage from road vibration, and no issues from weather exposure during transport.
Transport costs depend on equipment size, weight, distance, and any special requirements like permits or escorts. We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Factors that affect cost include the type of trailer needed, permit requirements, escort needs, and route complexity. Local moves within the Capital Region typically cost less than long-distance transport, but every job gets evaluated individually.
We’ll assess your specific equipment and requirements to give you an accurate quote. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, with no additional charges unless you request changes to the original scope.
For standard equipment moves within New York, we typically need 3-5 days notice to handle permits and scheduling. Larger or more complex moves may require additional time for route planning and special permits.
Emergency moves are possible in some cases, but they may involve additional costs for expedited permits or special arrangements. The more notice you can give us, the more options we have for scheduling and routing.
If you have a project timeline, let us know as early as possible. We can work with your schedule and coordinate with other contractors to make sure your equipment arrives when you need it, not when it’s convenient for the transport company.
Yes, we handle equipment transport throughout New York state and into neighboring states when needed. Our experience with long-distance moves includes understanding different state regulations and permit requirements.
Longer moves require additional planning for route restrictions, overnight parking if needed, and coordination with multiple jurisdictions. We handle all the logistics so you don’t have to worry about the details.
Whether your equipment is going to a job site in Albany, Vermont, or Massachusetts, we’ll get it there safely and legally. Distance doesn’t change our commitment to professional service and equipment protection.
While our careful handling and professional equipment minimize damage risk, we carry full insurance coverage for your protection. Any damage issues are handled promptly and professionally.
We document equipment condition before loading and after delivery, so there’s a clear record of the equipment’s state throughout transport. If damage occurs, we work directly with insurance companies to resolve claims quickly.
Our goal is preventing damage through proper handling, but we understand equipment represents a major investment. That’s why we maintain comprehensive coverage and handle any issues with the urgency they deserve. Your equipment and your project timeline are both protected.
