When your heavy equipment needs to move, you need it done right the first time. No damaged machinery. No project delays. No surprise costs that blow your budget.
You get equipment that arrives exactly where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. Your construction timeline stays on track because the machinery transport was handled by professionals who understand what’s at stake.
The difference is working with machinery movers who’ve handled everything from small excavators to massive industrial equipment across upstate New York terrain. We know how to navigate tight spaces, challenging access routes, and local permit requirements without the headaches that derail projects.
We’ve been serving Clarks Mills and the surrounding region since 1997, transitioning to full-time excavation and heavy equipment services in 2020. We’re not a rental company or subcontractor – we own our equipment and control our schedules.
That means when your machinery needs to move, we’re not waiting on someone else’s availability or dealing with equipment breakdowns that aren’t our responsibility. Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality standards are met consistently.
Our focus is building lasting relationships with contractors and property owners throughout the Capital Region. We understand local soil conditions, terrain challenges, and the permit requirements that can make or break a moving timeline in upstate New York.
First, we assess your equipment and moving requirements. This includes measuring dimensions, calculating weight, evaluating pickup and delivery sites, and determining what permits or escorts are needed for your specific move.
Next, we handle all the regulatory requirements. That means securing the proper permits, coordinating any required escorts, and ensuring compliance with New York State transportation regulations. You don’t have to navigate the permit process or worry about legal requirements.
Then our experienced operators move your equipment using the right machinery for the job. Whether it requires cranes, specialized trailers, or rigging equipment, we have the tools and expertise to handle the move safely. The equipment arrives at your destination ready for immediate use, and your project timeline stays intact.

Our heavy equipment moving service includes complete site assessment, permit acquisition, and professional transport using appropriate equipment for your specific machinery. We handle excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and specialized construction equipment throughout the Capital Region.
In Clarks Mills and surrounding areas, terrain challenges and seasonal conditions require local expertise. Rocky soil, narrow access routes, and varying elevation changes are common obstacles that we navigate regularly. Our operators understand how to work efficiently in these conditions without compromising safety or equipment integrity.
The service covers pickup, secure transport, and delivery with all necessary permits and regulatory compliance handled professionally. You get transparent pricing upfront, professional equipment operated by experienced crews, and machinery that arrives ready for immediate deployment on your construction site.
New York requires special hauling permits for any load exceeding standard legal dimensions of 8’6″ width, 13’6″ height, or 80,000 pounds total weight. Permit costs typically range from $360 to $900 depending on the equipment size and route requirements.
We handle the entire permit process including route surveys, weight calculations, and regulatory compliance. This includes coordinating with the New York State Department of Transportation and securing any required escort vehicles for oversized loads.
The permit process usually takes 2-3 business days, which is why advance planning is important for maintaining your project timeline. We factor permit acquisition time into our scheduling to prevent delays.
Equipment moving costs depend on several factors: the size and weight of your machinery, distance of the move, terrain challenges at pickup and delivery sites, and any special permits or escorts required. We also consider access routes and whether specialized rigging equipment is needed.
For local moves within Clarks Mills and the surrounding area, costs are typically lower than long-distance transport. However, challenging terrain or tight access routes may require additional equipment or time, which affects pricing.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs including permits, escorts, and any special handling requirements. No hidden fees or surprise charges – you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins.
We move all types of construction and industrial equipment including excavators, bulldozers, cranes, compactors, generators, and specialized machinery. Our equipment capacity handles everything from small utility machines to large industrial equipment weighing over 80,000 pounds.
Each piece of equipment requires different handling approaches. Tracked machines need different transport methods than wheeled equipment. High-profile machinery may require route surveys to ensure clearance under bridges and power lines.
We assess each piece individually to determine the safest, most efficient transport method. This includes evaluating center of gravity, securing points, and any special handling requirements to prevent damage during transport.
Yes, we provide heavy equipment moving throughout the Capital Region including Saratoga County, Washington County, and Warren County. Our service area extends to most of upstate New York depending on the specific requirements of your move.
Long-distance moves require additional planning for permits, route surveys, and overnight stops if needed. We coordinate with authorities in multiple jurisdictions to ensure smooth transport across county and state lines.
For moves outside our immediate service area, we evaluate each request individually. Distance, equipment size, and route complexity all factor into whether we can provide the service efficiently and cost-effectively for your project.
We recommend scheduling heavy equipment moves at least one week in advance for standard-sized machinery. Oversized or overweight equipment requiring special permits may need 2-3 weeks advance notice to secure all necessary approvals and coordinate escorts.
Seasonal factors also affect scheduling. Spring mud season and winter weather can limit access to certain sites or require different transport methods. Summer and fall typically offer the most flexibility for equipment moves.
Emergency equipment moves are sometimes possible depending on our current schedule and permit requirements. However, rush moves may involve expedited permit fees and limited routing options that can increase costs significantly.
All equipment is properly secured using appropriate tie-down methods, blocking, and chaining techniques specific to each machine type. Our operators are trained in proper loading procedures and weight distribution to ensure safe transport.
We conduct pre-transport inspections of both the equipment being moved and our transport vehicles. This includes checking fluid levels, securing loose parts, and ensuring all safety equipment is functioning properly before departure.
Insurance coverage protects both your equipment and our operation throughout the transport process. We maintain comprehensive liability coverage and ensure all operators hold proper commercial licenses for the equipment they’re operating.
