You get peace of mind knowing your expensive machinery is handled by drivers who understand that a scratched hydraulic line or bent attachment can cost you thousands. We’ve been moving heavy equipment across Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties long enough to know every weight restriction and seasonal road limitation.

We’ve been handling equipment transport throughout Brayton and the surrounding counties since 1997. We started as a logging operation and transitioned to full-time excavation and transport services in 2020 when Josh’s son joined as a partner.
We’re not some national company that shows up, loads your equipment, and disappears. Josh is present on almost every transport to ensure your machinery gets the care it deserves. We understand local terrain conditions, seasonal restrictions, and exactly which routes work best for oversized loads.
You’re working with contractors who live here, work here, and have built our reputation one successful transport at a time throughout the tri-county area.
First, we assess your equipment dimensions, weight, and destination to determine the right trailer type and permit requirements. No guesswork – we measure everything and plan routes that accommodate your specific load.
Next, we handle all DOT compliance and oversized load permits before arrival. Our drivers show up with proper commercial licensing, clean records, and years of heavy equipment transport experience across upstate New York terrain.
Loading happens with professional tie-down techniques that meet Department of Transportation standards. We secure your equipment according to manufacturer specifications and double-check everything before leaving your site.
During transport, you get direct communication about timing and any route adjustments. No wondering where your equipment is or when it will arrive – you stay informed throughout the entire process.

Our lowboy trailer fleet handles excavators, bulldozers, compactors, and specialized construction equipment up to 100,000 pounds. We use RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for easy loading, Landoll trailers with hydraulic sliding axles, and standard lowboys depending on your specific equipment needs.
Brayton’s construction season demands reliable equipment transport that works around weather delays and tight project schedules. We understand local soil conditions affect when equipment can be moved, and we plan accordingly to keep your timeline on track.
Every transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage from pickup to delivery. We’re not just moving your equipment – we’re protecting your investment and your project’s success. Route planning considers bridge heights, weight restrictions, and seasonal limitations specific to our tri-county service area.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, compactors, skid steers, pavers, rollers, cranes, and specialized construction equipment up to 100,000 pounds. Our fleet includes standard lowboys, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for drive-on loading, and Landoll trailers with hydraulic sliding axles for different loading situations.
Each trailer type serves specific equipment needs. RGN trailers work best for equipment that can drive on and off, while standard lowboys handle taller machinery that benefits from the lower deck height. We assess your specific equipment and choose the right trailer configuration.
If you’re unsure which service fits your equipment, we’ll evaluate dimensions, weight, and loading requirements during our initial consultation to recommend the most efficient and cost-effective transport method.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for oversized and overweight loads throughout New York State. This includes route permits, timing restrictions, and escort vehicle coordination when required by state regulations.
New York has specific requirements for loads exceeding standard dimensions, and permit requirements vary by route, time of day, and seasonal restrictions. We’re familiar with these regulations across Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties and handle the paperwork to keep your transport legal and compliant.
We also coordinate with local authorities when necessary and plan routes that avoid restricted bridges or weight-limited roads. All permit costs are included in your upfront quote – no surprise fees or hidden charges after the fact.
For standard equipment transport within our tri-county service area, we typically need 48-72 hours notice to ensure proper scheduling and permit processing. Oversized loads requiring special permits may need additional lead time depending on state processing requirements.
Emergency and rush transport services are available when project deadlines demand immediate equipment movement. We maintain relationships with permit offices and can expedite paperwork when necessary, though additional fees may apply for rush processing.
During peak construction season (spring through fall), scheduling further in advance ensures availability during your preferred time window. We recommend calling as soon as you know your equipment needs to be moved to secure the most convenient scheduling.
We carry comprehensive commercial insurance that covers your equipment from the moment it’s loaded until delivery at your destination. This includes protection against damage during loading, transport, and unloading operations.
Our coverage meets all DOT requirements for commercial heavy equipment transport and includes liability protection for third-party property damage. We provide certificate of insurance documentation before transport begins so you have written proof of coverage.
Equipment values are documented before loading with photos and condition reports. In the unlikely event of damage, our insurance handles claims processing directly with minimal involvement required from you. We also maintain umbrella coverage for high-value equipment transport.
Yes, we regularly deliver equipment to construction sites with challenging access conditions including narrow roads, steep grades, and tight turning radii. Our drivers have extensive experience navigating rural roads and construction sites throughout upstate New York.
Before transport, we evaluate delivery site access through photos or site visits when necessary. This includes checking road conditions, bridge weight limits, overhead clearances, and turning space for our trailer configuration.
When standard access isn’t possible, we work with you to identify alternative delivery locations or coordinate with other equipment to assist with final positioning. Our goal is getting your equipment where it needs to be, even when site conditions present challenges.
Our pricing includes equipment pickup, professional loading and securing, all required permits, transport to your destination, and unloading services. Route planning, DOT compliance, and basic insurance coverage are also included in the base price.
You receive upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Additional costs only apply for services like expedited permits, after-hours delivery, or special handling requirements that we discuss and approve before transport begins.
We provide detailed written quotes that break down all charges so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No fuel surcharges, no mileage fees, no permit processing fees – your quote includes everything needed for safe, legal equipment transport.
