When your expensive construction equipment needs to move, you can’t afford mistakes. You need it transported safely, on schedule, and without the headaches that come with permits, routing, and regulatory compliance.
That’s exactly what you get when you work with us. Your equipment arrives in the same condition it left, when you need it there. No surprises, no damage claims, no project delays.
We handle everything from compact excavators to oversized dozers using the right trailer for each job. Lowboy, RGN, Landoll, hydraulic tilt – whatever your equipment requires, we’ve got the specialized transport to move it properly.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment in the Bolton area since 1997, starting as a logging operation before transitioning to full-time excavation and transport services. That background gives us something most haulers don’t have – we actually understand the equipment we’re moving.
Josh is on-site for almost every job, ensuring your equipment gets the careful handling it deserves. We’re not a faceless corporation trying to rush through as many loads as possible. We’re your neighbors, and we treat your equipment like our own.
When other companies see dollar signs, we see relationships. That’s why our customers keep coming back – they know we’ll be here when they need us, doing the job right the first time.
First, we assess your equipment and transport needs. We’ll determine the right trailer type, check dimensions and weight, and plan the optimal route considering any height or width restrictions.
Next, we handle all permits and regulatory requirements. New York has specific rules for oversize loads, and we know exactly what’s needed to keep your transport legal and on schedule.
On transport day, our experienced operators load your equipment using proper techniques and securement. We use specialized tie-downs and blocking to ensure everything stays exactly where it should during transport. You’ll get updates throughout the process so you always know where your equipment is and when it will arrive.

We offer multiple trailer types to handle any equipment moving challenge. Our lowboy trailers are perfect for tall equipment that needs to clear bridges and overpasses. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers make loading and unloading easier for equipment that can’t be driven onto a standard trailer.
For extra-long equipment, we use extendable Landoll trailers that can stretch to accommodate oversized machinery. Hydraulic tilt trailers provide ground-level loading for equipment with low clearance requirements.
Bolton’s location in the Capital Region means we understand local transport challenges – from navigating narrow rural roads to dealing with seasonal weight restrictions. We know which routes work best for different types of loads and can plan accordingly to avoid delays and complications.
We can transport virtually any construction equipment including excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, backhoes, compactors, and specialty attachments. Our lowboy trailers handle equipment weighing up to 80,000 pounds, and we have different trailer configurations for various size requirements.
The key is matching the right trailer to your specific equipment. Tall equipment like excavators with extended booms work best on our standard lowboys for maximum height clearance. Wide equipment may require permits and escort vehicles, which we coordinate as part of the service.
We also move agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and specialty vehicles. If it rolls, tracks, or needs to be transported, we can likely handle it with the appropriate trailer and securement methods.
Equipment protection starts with proper loading techniques. We use manufacturer-recommended tie-down points and never improvise securement methods. Our operators understand how different equipment needs to be positioned and secured for safe transport.
We inspect all tie-downs, chains, and straps before departure and make periodic checks during longer hauls. Our trailers are regularly maintained and inspected to ensure they’re in perfect working condition.
Most importantly, we carry comprehensive cargo insurance specifically for heavy equipment transport. While we do everything possible to prevent damage, you have peace of mind knowing your investment is protected throughout the entire transport process.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for oversize and overweight loads. New York has specific regulations depending on equipment dimensions, weight, and the routes involved. We know exactly what permits are needed and how to obtain them efficiently.
This includes overwidth permits for equipment exceeding 8.5 feet, overheight permits for loads taller than legal limits, and overweight permits when the combined equipment and trailer weight exceeds standard limits. We also coordinate escort vehicles when required.
We factor permit costs into our quotes upfront, so there are no surprise fees. The permit process can take several days, so we recommend scheduling equipment moves with adequate lead time to ensure everything is properly documented.
Each trailer type serves different equipment moving needs. Standard lowboy trailers sit low to the ground for maximum height clearance and are ideal for tall equipment like excavators or boom lifts that need to pass under bridges and overpasses.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that allows the trailer to be lowered to ground level. This makes loading much easier for equipment that can’t be driven up ramps or needs a very low loading angle, like certain pavers or low-profile machinery.
Landoll trailers are extendable and can stretch to accommodate extra-long equipment. They’re perfect for equipment that exceeds standard trailer lengths. Some also feature hydraulic tilt capabilities for ground-level loading when you don’t have ramps or loading docks available.
For standard equipment moves within New York, we typically recommend scheduling at least 3-5 business days in advance. This gives us time to coordinate the appropriate trailer, obtain any necessary permits, and plan the optimal route for your specific equipment.
Oversize loads requiring special permits may need 7-10 days advance notice, especially if escort vehicles are required. Holiday periods and peak construction season (spring through fall) tend to be busier, so additional lead time is helpful during these periods.
For emergency equipment moves, we do our best to accommodate urgent requests. However, permit requirements and equipment availability may limit our ability to provide same-day or next-day service for larger or oversize equipment.
We provide equipment moving services throughout the Capital Region including Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Troy areas. We also serve the broader Adirondack region and can coordinate longer-distance moves throughout New York State and into neighboring states.
Our local knowledge of the Capital Region gives us advantages in route planning and understanding local regulations. We know which roads have weight restrictions, bridge clearances, and seasonal limitations that could affect equipment transport.
For moves outside our primary service area, we work with trusted partner carriers to ensure your equipment gets the same level of professional care throughout the entire transport. We maintain communication and oversight even when coordinating with other carriers to complete longer-distance moves.
