Yes, we can move heavy equipment during winter, though weather conditions may affect scheduling and costs. Day Center’s winter weather requires extra planning and specialized equipment for safe transport.
Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures create additional challenges for heavy equipment moving. Routes may need adjustment to avoid hazardous conditions, and specialized equipment ensures safe loading and transport. Some extremely severe weather may require postponing moves for safety reasons.
Our team monitors weather conditions closely and communicates any necessary schedule adjustments. We’d rather delay a move than risk damage to your equipment or create unsafe conditions for our crew.
We move virtually any type of heavy equipment, from construction machinery to agricultural equipment to specialized manufacturing machines. Common moves include excavators, bulldozers, cranes, tractors, and industrial manufacturing equipment.
Equipment weight capacity extends up to 100+ tons, depending on the specific machinery and transport requirements. We have experience with both standard construction equipment and specialized machinery requiring custom handling approaches.
Each piece of equipment gets evaluated individually to determine the best transport method. Some machinery may require disassembly for transport, while others can move as complete units. Our experience with diverse equipment types ensures your machinery gets handled appropriately.
For standard moves, scheduling 48-72 hours in advance usually provides adequate time for planning and permit processing. Complex moves or those requiring special permits may need a week or more advance notice.
Emergency moves can often be accommodated within hours, though this may affect pricing and require premium scheduling. Peak construction seasons (spring through fall) may require longer lead times due to higher demand.
The earlier you schedule, the more flexibility you have with timing and routing options. This can help reduce costs and ensure your equipment moves exactly when your project requires it.
Yes, Emerson Excavating and Trucking carries comprehensive insurance coverage for equipment transport. This protects your machinery against damage during loading, transport, and unloading.
Our insurance covers the full replacement value of your equipment, not just basic liability coverage. This means if something happens to your machinery during transport, you’re protected for its actual worth, not just a minimal amount.
You receive documentation of insurance coverage before your move begins. This gives you peace of mind knowing your investment is fully protected throughout the transport process.
