Your excavator breakdown costs $2,000 per day in lost productivity. Transport damage costs even more. You need equipment movers who understand that careful handling isn’t optional—it’s essential for keeping your projects profitable.
When your machinery needs to move in Edinburg, you get DOT-compliant securing, proper permits handled professionally, and drivers who know the difference between Great Sacandaga Lake access roads and Route 30 weight restrictions. No guesswork, no shortcuts, no damaged equipment arriving at your job site.
Your construction timeline stays intact because your equipment arrives when promised, ready to work, not sitting in a repair shop because someone took corners during transport.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment through Edinburg’s challenging terrain since 1997. While other transport companies struggle with seasonal weight limits on rural roads, we know which routes handle 80,000-pound loads year-round and which require alternate planning during spring thaw.
Our equipment ownership means no waiting for rental availability when your project deadline approaches. When unexpected conditions arise—like hitting frost heaves on County Route 4 or navigating narrow access roads near the lake—we adjust immediately without subcontractor delays.
Edinburg contractors choose us because we prevent the transport disasters that derail construction schedules. No equipment sitting damaged on roadsides, no missed delivery windows that cascade into costly project delays.
Every heavy equipment move starts with understanding your specific situation. We assess machinery dimensions, pickup location access, delivery site conditions, and timeline requirements. No generic quotes—every transport plan addresses your actual needs.
Permit coordination happens behind the scenes. We handle New York State DOT requirements, coordinate escort vehicles for oversized loads, and plan routes that comply with local restrictions. You receive delivery windows you can actually plan around, not vague estimates that leave your crew waiting.
Professional drivers secure equipment using manufacturer-approved tie-down points and proper load distribution. Throughout transport, you get real updates about timing, not automated messages. Your equipment arrives positioned for immediate unloading, ready to start working.

We transport everything from compact excavators for lakefront projects to 60-ton cranes for commercial development. Our trailer fleet includes specialized equipment for the oversized machinery common in Edinburg’s growing construction market.
The Southern Adirondack region creates unique transport challenges. Spring weight restrictions on secondary roads, narrow access paths to waterfront properties, and seasonal limitations require local expertise that prevents costly routing mistakes and delivery delays.
Every transport includes comprehensive coverage, load documentation, and coordination with local suppliers and job sites. Whether you’re moving equipment from Albany to a Great Sacandaga Lake project or relocating machinery between Gloversville job sites, we handle the logistics that keep your operation running smoothly.
Heavy equipment transport typically costs $2.50-$8.00 per mile depending on machinery size and transport requirements. A local move within 50 miles might run $300-$800 for standard excavators, while oversized equipment or longer distances increase costs significantly.
Pricing factors include equipment weight, trailer type needed, permit requirements, and seasonal road restrictions common in the Adirondack region. Spring thaw periods and winter conditions can affect routing and timing, which impacts final costs.
We provide detailed estimates that include all fees upfront—no surprise charges for permits, escort vehicles, or special handling requirements. This transparency lets you budget accurately and avoid the cost overruns that plague projects using inexperienced transport companies.
Yes, we specialize in navigating oversized equipment through Edinburg’s challenging road network. Our experience includes transporting wide loads on Route 30, managing weight restrictions on county roads, and accessing remote job sites near Great Sacandaga Lake.
Oversized transport requires careful route planning to avoid low bridges, narrow passages, and seasonal weight limits. We coordinate with local authorities and utility companies when necessary to ensure safe passage without infrastructure damage or project delays.
Each oversized move includes permit coordination, escort vehicle arrangement, and contingency planning for weather-related delays. Our local knowledge prevents the routing mistakes that strand equipment on inadequate roads or create expensive backtracking situations.
Standard equipment transport within the tri-county area typically completes within 24-48 hours of scheduling. Local moves around Edinburg often happen same-day or next-day, depending on equipment size and pickup requirements.
Oversized loads requiring special permits need additional lead time—usually 3-5 business days for permit processing and route coordination. Rush services are available for emergency situations, though advance planning provides better pricing and scheduling flexibility.
Weather conditions significantly impact transport timing in the Adirondack region. We monitor forecasts and communicate proactively about potential delays, giving you accurate information for crew scheduling and project planning rather than leaving you guessing about equipment arrival.
Absolutely. We handle all permit requirements for heavy and oversized equipment transport throughout New York State. This includes coordinating with NYSDOT for overweight permits, arranging escort vehicles, and managing route approvals for wide loads.
Permit requirements vary significantly based on equipment dimensions and transport routes. Loads exceeding 80,000 pounds, 8.5 feet wide, or 13.5 feet high trigger different permit categories with specific routing and timing restrictions we navigate daily.
We factor all permit costs and processing time into your transport quote and timeline. No hidden fees or unexpected delays because permit requirements weren’t properly anticipated. You get accurate pricing and realistic scheduling from the start.
Proper preparation prevents pickup delays and ensures safe transport. Secure all moveable attachments like buckets, forks, and hydraulic cylinders in transport position. Remove loose items, tools, and accessories that could shift during transport.
Ensure equipment is accessible for loading—clear pathways, adequate overhead clearance, and firm ground for trailer positioning. If your equipment is non-operational, arrange crane or forklift assistance for loading before our arrival.
Provide accurate weight and dimension information during scheduling. Underestimating equipment specs can result in wrong trailer selection, requiring rescheduling and additional costs. Proper preparation keeps your transport on schedule and within budget.
Yes, we maintain all required commercial transport licensing for New York State operations. Our drivers hold proper CDL endorsements with clean records and extensive experience handling heavy equipment and oversized loads throughout the region.
Comprehensive insurance coverage protects your equipment throughout the entire transport process—loading, securing, transport, and delivery. Coverage limits exceed industry standards to protect high-value machinery and provide complete peace of mind.
All licensing and insurance documentation is available for review and can be provided for your project files. Working with properly credentialed transport companies protects your investment and ensures professional service standards that prevent costly problems.
