Your expensive machinery deserves transport operators who understand that damaged hydraulics and bent attachments aren’t just inconvenient – they’re project killers. When your excavator, bulldozer, or specialized equipment needs moving, you get professionals who treat every piece like the investment it represents.
No more sleepless nights wondering if your equipment will arrive intact. No more project delays because transport companies treat your machinery like commodity freight. Your equipment reaches the job site in working condition, properly secured, and ready to generate revenue immediately.
The difference shows in details most transport companies ignore – understanding which tie-down points won’t damage sensitive components, route planning that avoids weight-restricted bridges, and operators who know expensive equipment requires different handling than construction materials.
Since 1997, we’ve been moving equipment throughout Big Hollow and the tri-county region. Josh personally oversees equipment transport because we’ve seen too many contractors get burned by companies that treat expensive machinery like regular freight.
We own our specialized trailers, maintain comprehensive insurance, and hold all necessary permits for oversize transport throughout New York. This isn’t side work for us – equipment moving is a core service backed by nearly three decades of local experience.
Big Hollow’s rural roads and seasonal restrictions create challenges that out-of-area transport companies often underestimate. Spring weight limitations, narrow access roads, and varying ground conditions at job sites require local knowledge that prevent costly delays and equipment damage.
First, we assess your equipment’s exact dimensions, operating weight, and any attachments that affect transport requirements. This determines the right trailer type – lowboy for maximum height clearance, RGN for front-loading capability, or hydraulic tilt for ground-level loading situations.
Route planning and permit acquisition happen next. We handle DOT paperwork, verify bridge clearances, and check seasonal weight restrictions that could affect timing. You don’t deal with regulatory compliance or worry about permit delays holding up your project.
Loading uses proper techniques and equipment designed for heavy machinery. Our operators understand tie-down points that secure equipment without damaging hydraulic cylinders or delicate components. Transport follows pre-planned routes with regular updates about timing and delivery status.
Delivery includes careful positioning at your job site, with attention to ground conditions and access limitations. Your equipment arrives ready for immediate use, and you receive documentation confirming successful transport completion.

Our equipment moving services handle everything from compact track loaders to large excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and specialized construction machinery. Local moves within Big Hollow typically complete same-day, while long-distance transport throughout New York receives the same careful attention to detail.
Lowboy trailers provide the lowest deck height for tall equipment requiring maximum bridge clearance. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers offer front-loading capability for machines that can’t use side ramps. Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt decks handle ground-loading situations where traditional ramps won’t work.
Big Hollow’s location in upstate New York means navigating seasonal road restrictions that change with weather conditions. Spring thaw periods limit heavy loads on certain county routes, while winter conditions require different transport timing. We track these restrictions year-round and plan routes accordingly.
Emergency transport services respond when equipment breakdowns or project changes create urgent moving needs. Our local presence means mobilizing within hours rather than days, keeping your project timeline intact when unexpected transport needs arise.
Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and cranes because the low deck height maximizes clearance under bridges and power lines. The dropped deck design keeps overall transport height within legal limits while accommodating equipment up to 11-12 feet tall.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers are ideal when equipment needs front loading. The detachable gooseneck creates a ground-level ramp for machines that can’t be driven up side ramps or have attachments that make traditional loading impractical.
Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capability handle specialized loading situations where equipment must be loaded at ground level. These work well for scissor lifts, forklifts, and other equipment that requires minimal loading angles to prevent damage during the loading process.
We handle all permit requirements as part of our equipment moving service, including accurate measurement of your equipment, determining which permits apply based on dimensions and weight, and filing proper documentation with New York DOT and local authorities.
Oversize load regulations in New York vary by route and equipment specifications. We maintain current relationships with permitting authorities and understand which routes allow oversize transport without special restrictions. This knowledge prevents delays and routing problems that can derail project schedules.
Standard oversize permits typically process within 2-3 business days, though emergency permits can sometimes be expedited for urgent moves. We factor permit timing into your transport schedule and communicate any potential delays upfront, so your project timeline stays predictable.
Our comprehensive insurance coverage protects your equipment from pickup through final delivery, including protection against transport damage, loading incidents, and liability coverage throughout the entire moving process. Coverage amounts match your equipment’s declared value.
We provide certificates of insurance to meet project requirements and document equipment condition before transport begins. Pre-transport photos and condition notes create clear records that streamline any insurance claims if issues arise during transport.
Most equipment moves complete without incident, but proper coverage provides essential protection for expensive machinery. Our insurance also covers property damage during loading or unloading operations, protecting both your equipment and the sites where transport occurs.
Standard equipment moves within Big Hollow and surrounding areas typically need 3-5 business days notice for trailer availability and permit processing. This allows time for route planning, regulatory compliance, and coordination with weather conditions that could affect transport safety.
Emergency transport can often be accommodated with shorter notice, especially for local moves that don’t require oversize permits. However, rush services may involve additional costs for expedited permits and priority scheduling over previously booked transport jobs.
Seasonal factors significantly impact scheduling in upstate New York. Spring weight restrictions and winter weather conditions require additional planning time to ensure compliant transport routes and safe operating conditions for expensive equipment.
Yes, we provide equipment transport throughout New York and neighboring states when projects require longer-distance moves. Our primary service area covers the tri-county region, but we regularly handle transport to construction sites across the Northeast for established customers.
Long-distance moves require additional coordination for route optimization, driver rest requirements, and destination site logistics. We handle all planning including fuel stops, overnight security, and communication with receiving parties to ensure smooth delivery regardless of distance.
Interstate transport involves additional regulatory requirements and multi-state permit coordination. We’re experienced with these compliance requirements and handle the documentation needed for legal transport across state lines, ensuring your equipment arrives without regulatory complications.
Weather safety takes priority over rigid scheduling, and we communicate immediately when conditions require transport delays. High winds, ice, or heavy snow create dangerous conditions for both equipment and other road users, making delays necessary for safe transport.
Our local presence allows quick rescheduling once conditions improve, rather than waiting for out-of-area companies to return equipment and drivers. We monitor weather forecasts closely and often adjust timing proactively to avoid weather-related delays.
Spring conditions in Big Hollow present unique challenges with seasonal weight restrictions and muddy job site access. We track these conditions year-round and coordinate transport timing to prevent situations where equipment could be damaged or become stuck during delivery operations.
