When your expensive machinery needs to move, you can’t afford mistakes. Our specialized lowboy trailers and RGN hauling services handle everything from excavators to scissor lifts with the precision your equipment deserves.
No more worrying about height clearances or route restrictions. Our low-deck trailers navigate under bridges and through tight spots that standard haulers can’t handle, opening up more delivery options and faster timelines for your Clarks Mills projects.
You get transparent pricing upfront, experienced operators who understand heavy equipment, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a family business that’s been moving machinery reliably since 1997.
We’ve been serving Clarks Mills and the broader Capital Region since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation and specialized equipment transport, with Josh’s son joining as a partner in 2022 to create true multi-generational expertise.
We’re not just another trucking company. Josh personally oversees jobs to ensure your equipment gets the careful handling it deserves. This hands-on approach has built lasting relationships with contractors and equipment owners throughout Oneida County who trust us with their most valuable machinery.
In Clarks Mills’ tight-knit community of 1,600 residents, reputation matters more than flashy marketing. We’ve earned ours by treating every piece of equipment like it’s our own and every customer relationship like it’s meant to last decades, not just until the invoice gets paid.
First, we assess your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and destination to determine the right trailer and route. Our Landoll trailers handle sliding axle requirements, RGN setups work for drive-on loading, and hydraulic tilt trailers accommodate equipment with ground clearance challenges.
Next, we handle all permits and route planning. Oversized loads require proper documentation and sometimes escort vehicles through the Capital Region’s bridge networks. We take care of those regulatory details so you can focus on your project timeline instead of paperwork.
On moving day, our experienced operators arrive with the right trailer configuration, properly rated tie-downs, and the expertise to load your equipment safely. We keep you updated throughout transport and deliver on the timeline we promised, with your machinery ready for immediate use at the destination.

Our fleet includes lowboy trailers for standard heavy equipment, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for drive-on loading, Landoll sliding axle setups for weight distribution, and hydraulic tilt trailers for low-clearance equipment. Whether you’re moving tall scissor lifts, wide excavators, or long industrial machinery, we match the right trailer to your specific requirements.
Ground loading capabilities make the process faster and safer for both tracked and wheeled equipment. Our low-profile trailers provide the extra height clearance that construction equipment demands, reducing permit requirements and opening up more route options through Clarks Mills’ rural roads and into the broader Long Island and Capital Region markets.
Local contractors throughout Oneida County know they can count on us for single-piece moves or coordinating multiple equipment deliveries for large projects. We understand construction timelines and the real cost of delays, so reliability isn’t just a marketing promise – it’s how we’ve stayed in business and grown for over two decades in this competitive market.
Our lowboy and RGN trailers handle excavators, bulldozers, scissor lifts, forklifts, cranes, and other heavy construction equipment up to 80,000 pounds depending on axle configuration. The low deck height accommodates equipment up to 12 feet tall while staying within legal height limits for most routes.
We also transport agricultural machinery, industrial equipment, and specialized vehicles that exceed standard trailer height restrictions. Our Landoll trailers work particularly well for equipment with ground clearance issues or awkward loading angles that make standard ramps impractical.
Each job gets evaluated individually based on equipment dimensions, weight distribution, and loading requirements. We’ll recommend the most appropriate trailer configuration and discuss any special handling needs during the initial consultation to ensure safe, efficient transport.
We take care of all permit applications and route planning as part of our equipment moving service. New York State requires specific documentation for oversized loads, and we maintain current relationships with DOT offices to expedite the permit process.
Our experience with local and state regulations means we can often identify route options through the Capital Region that avoid the most restrictive bridges and roads, potentially eliminating the need for expensive escort vehicles or special timing requirements that add cost to your move.
We also coordinate with utility companies when necessary for temporary line raises and work with local authorities to ensure smooth transport through Clarks Mills and surrounding communities without disrupting traffic more than absolutely necessary.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that allows equipment to be driven directly onto the deck from ground level. This eliminates the need for ramps or loading docks, making it ideal for tracked equipment like excavators, dozers, or any machinery that can’t easily navigate steep loading angles.
Standard lowboy trailers have a fixed gooseneck and require ramps for loading, but they’re often more stable for certain types of equipment and can handle higher weight capacities depending on the axle configuration. They’re typically better for wheeled equipment or machinery with lower ground clearance.
We choose the trailer type based on your equipment’s loading requirements, weight distribution, available loading facilities, and the specific challenges at both pickup and delivery locations. The goal is always the safest, most efficient method that protects your valuable machinery.
For standard equipment moves within the Capital Region, we typically need 2-3 days notice to arrange the right trailer and handle any permit requirements. Rush jobs can sometimes be accommodated with 24-48 hours notice, depending on our schedule and trailer availability.
Oversized loads requiring special permits or escort vehicles need more lead time – usually a week or more to coordinate with New York State authorities and plan optimal routes through the region’s bridge and highway networks. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment benefit from even earlier scheduling.
We recommend calling as soon as you know you’ll need equipment moved, even if your timeline isn’t firm. We can discuss options and reserve space on our schedule, then adjust dates as your project requirements become clearer. Early planning often means better pricing and more flexible scheduling options.
We handle the complete equipment moving process – transport, loading, and unloading – using our own equipment and trained operators. Our trailers are specifically designed for efficient loading, and our operators have the experience to safely secure even oddly-shaped or top-heavy equipment.
For RGN trailers, equipment can often be driven directly on and off, which reduces handling time and potential damage risks. For standard lowboy setups, we use proper ramps and positioning techniques to ensure safe loading angles. We carry all necessary tie-downs, chains, and blocking materials rated for heavy equipment securement.
If your equipment has special handling requirements or unique loading challenges, we’ll discuss those details during scheduling to ensure we arrive prepared with the right approach and any additional equipment needed for safe, efficient loading and unloading.
We’re based in Clarks Mills and regularly serve the entire Capital Region, including Albany, Troy, Schenectady, and surrounding counties in New York. Our local knowledge of roads, bridges, weight restrictions, and permit requirements in this area gives us a significant advantage for efficient, compliant routing.
We also handle longer-distance moves throughout New York State and into neighboring states when projects require it. These longer hauls need more advance planning for multi-state permits and routing, but we have the experience and carrier relationships to coordinate complex transport logistics.
For equipment moves within a 50-mile radius of Clarks Mills, we can often provide same-day or next-day service depending on our schedule and trailer availability. The closer to our home base, the more flexibility we can offer on timing, and often the better the pricing due to reduced deadhead miles.
