Your construction timeline stays on track. No more wondering if your excavator will show up when promised or if the transport company actually knows how to navigate Adirondack’s seasonal road closures.
You get equipment that arrives undamaged and ready to work. Our lowboy trailers and RGN services handle everything from compact excavators to oversized bulldozers, with the right trailer configuration for your specific machine.
The permits and route planning are handled before your equipment even gets loaded. We know which roads have seasonal restrictions, which bridges have weight limits, and exactly what paperwork New York requires for your particular load.
We’ve been serving the Adirondack region since 1997. We started as a logging operation and know these roads, these seasonal challenges, and these permit requirements better than anyone.
Josh oversees every transport personally. You’re not dealing with a faceless corporation that treats your $200,000 excavator like just another load. We understand what that equipment means to your business.
We own our trailers and trucks. That means when you need equipment moved, we control the schedule. No waiting for rental equipment or wondering if a subcontractor will show up on time.
First, we assess your equipment dimensions, weight, and destination. This isn’t guesswork – we need exact measurements to select the right trailer and secure proper permits.
Next, we handle the route planning and permits. New York has specific restrictions for oversized loads, seasonal road closures in the Adirondacks, and weight limits that vary by location. We know which routes work and which ones don’t.
Then we load and transport your equipment using the appropriate trailer – whether that’s a standard lowboy, RGN (removable gooseneck), or specialized Landoll trailer. Your equipment is secured properly and transported safely to your job site, ready to work.

Our lowboy trailers handle tall equipment that won’t fit on standard flatbeds. The low deck height gives you extra clearance under bridges and through low-clearance areas common in the Adirondack region.
RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers work best for equipment that can drive on and off. The detachable front creates a ramp, making loading and unloading faster and safer for tracked equipment like excavators and bulldozers.
Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capability handle equipment that needs ground-level loading. Perfect for forklifts, scissor lifts, and other wheeled equipment that can’t climb steep ramps. The sliding axle configuration distributes weight properly for legal transport.
New York requires oversize permits for any load exceeding legal dimensions – typically over 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or 55,000 pounds total weight. The permits specify approved routes, travel times, and any required escort vehicles.
In the Adirondack region, we also deal with seasonal road restrictions. Many access roads close for winter, and some have weight limits that change based on spring thaw conditions. We handle all permit applications and stay current on seasonal restrictions.
Transport is only allowed from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset on weekdays, with restrictions on Saturdays and no movement on Sundays or major holidays. We plan your transport schedule around these requirements.
Local moves within the Adirondack region typically take 1-3 hours depending on your pickup and delivery locations. Remote job sites can add time, especially if we need to navigate seasonal road closures or find alternate routes.
Weather plays a bigger role here than in other regions. Spring mud season can limit access to some job sites, and winter conditions may require different routing. We give you realistic timeframes based on current conditions and your specific locations.
For moves outside the region, figure on standard transport times plus the additional time needed to navigate out of the mountains. We coordinate timing with your construction schedule so equipment arrives exactly when you need it.
We handle excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, wheel loaders, dump trucks, and specialized equipment like concrete pumps or cranes. Our trailer selection includes standard lowboys, RGN trailers, and Landoll trailers to match your equipment’s loading requirements.
Height and weight determine which trailer we use. Tall equipment goes on lowboy trailers for maximum clearance. Heavy tracked equipment typically uses RGN trailers for easy drive-on loading. Wheeled equipment often works best with hydraulic tilt trailers for ground-level loading.
We also transport attachments, buckets, and other implements. Multiple pieces can often share a trailer if dimensions and weight allow, saving you money on transport costs.
Yes, but winter transport requires more planning due to seasonal road closures and weather conditions. Many secondary roads and job site access routes close for winter, so we need to coordinate alternate routing and timing.
Equipment pickup and delivery locations must be accessible to our trailers. Some remote job sites become inaccessible during winter months, requiring equipment to be staged at accessible locations until spring.
We monitor weather conditions closely and may need to adjust schedules for safety. Ice storms, heavy snow, or extreme cold can make transport unsafe or impossible. We give you advance notice of any weather-related delays.
Local transport typically runs $300-800 depending on equipment size, trailer requirements, and distance. Oversize loads requiring permits and escort vehicles cost more due to additional regulatory requirements.
Remote locations add to the cost because of longer travel times and potential access challenges. Equipment that requires specialized trailers or loading assistance also affects pricing.
We provide upfront quotes with no hidden fees. The price includes trailer service, permits, and any required escort vehicles. You know exactly what you’re paying before we load your equipment.
We carry comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment during transport. Our policy covers damage from accidents, weather, or loading/unloading incidents.
Before transport, we document your equipment’s condition with photos and inspect for any existing damage. This protects both you and us by establishing the equipment’s pre-transport condition.
Our operators are experienced with heavy equipment loading and securement. We use proper tie-down points, appropriate chains and straps, and follow DOT securement regulations. Most transport damage occurs during loading or unloading, so we take extra care during these critical phases.
