Your expensive machinery deserves better than a guy with a truck hoping for the best. When you need a heavy equipment mover in Cambridge, you’re looking at potential project delays, damaged equipment, or safety incidents that shut everything down.
We handle machinery transport the right way. Your excavator, bulldozer, or specialty equipment gets loaded properly, secured correctly, and delivered when promised. No surprises about permits. No calls saying your equipment can’t make it because someone didn’t plan the route.
You get a machinery mover who understands Washington County roads and delivers equipment ready for your next job phase. That’s what professional heavy equipment transport looks like when it’s done right.
We’ve been moving equipment throughout Washington County since 1997. Started as a logging operation, we transitioned to full-time excavation and equipment transport in 2020, bringing that same attention to detail to every machinery move.
We know Cambridge roads, bridge weight limits, and which routes work for oversized loads. Josh handles most equipment moves personally, treating your machinery with the same care we’d want for our own equipment. This isn’t some national trucking company learning your area on your dime.
You’re working with a family business built on relationships, not quick transactions. We’re the equipment moving company Cambridge contractors call when they need it done right the first time.
First, we assess your equipment and transport requirements. Weight, dimensions, pickup location, delivery site – we need the complete picture to plan this move properly. No guesswork on permits or route restrictions that could delay your project.
Next, we handle all permits and DOT requirements. New York has specific regulations for heavy equipment transport, and we know exactly what’s needed for Washington County routes. You don’t deal with paperwork or worry about compliance issues causing delays.
Then we execute the move using proper equipment for your machinery. We’re not trying to transport a 40,000-pound excavator with equipment designed for smaller loads. Everything gets secured properly using the right trailer for the job.
Finally, your equipment arrives ready for work. No damage, no delays, no excuses. Your machinery shows up when we promised, in the condition you expect, ready for your next project phase.

We handle everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers and specialty construction equipment. We provide the permits, route planning, and specialized transport equipment needed for heavy equipment transport in Cambridge and throughout Washington County.
Cambridge’s Adirondack region location creates unique transport challenges. Spring weight restrictions limit when heavy loads can move on certain roads. Winter conditions affect route options. Narrow rural roads require careful planning for oversized equipment. We’ve navigated these local conditions for decades, understanding which routes handle heavy machinery and when seasonal restrictions apply.
You get transparent pricing with detailed estimates, proper cargo insurance, and machinery that arrives ready for immediate use. Whether you’re moving construction equipment between Cambridge job sites or transporting newly purchased machinery to your Washington County location, we handle the logistics while you focus on your project timeline.
Heavy equipment moving costs in Cambridge typically range from $300-500 for standard construction equipment weighing 30,000-60,000 pounds within a 15-mile radius. Compact excavators and skid steers cost less, while larger bulldozers or specialty machinery requiring oversized permits cost more.
Distance significantly affects pricing – local moves within Washington County are more affordable than long-distance transport. Equipment requiring special permits, escort vehicles, or route restrictions will have additional costs. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific equipment, pickup location, delivery site, and any special requirements. Professional transport costs are always less expensive than dealing with damaged equipment, project delays, or safety incidents from improper handling.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for heavy equipment transport in New York, including oversized and overweight loads. This includes New York DOT permits, route approvals, escort requirements, and any special restrictions based on your equipment’s dimensions and weight.
New York regulations for heavy equipment transport vary by route, season, and equipment specifications. Washington County has specific bridge weight limits and seasonal restrictions that affect when and where heavy machinery can be transported. We maintain current knowledge of all local regulations and have established relationships with permit offices to expedite approvals. All necessary permits are obtained before your scheduled move date, preventing delays and ensuring full compliance with state and local regulations.
For standard heavy equipment moves in Cambridge, schedule at least one week in advance to ensure equipment availability and optimal routing. Oversized loads requiring special permits need 2-3 weeks advance notice to obtain all necessary approvals and plan appropriate routes.
Spring season (March-May) is our busiest time due to construction activity, so earlier scheduling helps secure your preferred dates. Emergency equipment moves can sometimes be accommodated with 24-48 hours notice, though this may involve premium pricing and limited route options. Weather conditions, especially during winter months, can affect scheduling and may require flexibility in timing. Earlier booking also allows us to coordinate with your project timeline and potentially combine moves to reduce costs.
We transport construction equipment ranging from 5,000-pound compact excavators to 80,000-pound bulldozers and specialty machinery. Our fleet includes flatbed trailers, lowboy trailers, and specialized equipment for oversized loads that exceed standard transport dimensions.
Common equipment we move includes excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, compactors, generators, concrete equipment, and agricultural machinery. For equipment exceeding New York’s standard size and weight limits (8’6″ wide, 13’6″ high, 80,000 pounds gross), we have the specialized trailers and permit experience to handle oversized transport safely and legally. If you’re unsure about your equipment’s transportability, we can assess dimensions and weight to determine the appropriate transport method and any special requirements.
We carry comprehensive cargo insurance specifically designed for heavy equipment transport, providing coverage during all phases of the move including loading, transport, and unloading. Our policy covers equipment damage that might occur during transport, protecting your investment in valuable construction machinery.
Coverage limits are appropriate for the high-value equipment we transport, and we can provide insurance certificates before your move if required by your company, equipment financing, or project specifications. This professional cargo insurance is separate from standard trucking insurance and specifically addresses the unique risks involved in heavy machinery transport. Unlike general trucking companies, we understand the specialized insurance requirements for construction equipment and maintain coverage that protects both your equipment and our business relationship.
We’re a local family business with 25+ years of experience in Washington County, not a national company learning your area while handling your equipment. Josh personally oversees most equipment moves, ensuring your machinery receives the attention and care it deserves rather than being just another load number.
Our local expertise means we understand Cambridge’s roads, seasonal weight restrictions, bridge limitations, and permit requirements without learning on your time. We own our transport equipment rather than subcontracting to unknown operators, giving you direct accountability and consistent service quality. You get transparent pricing with detailed written estimates, no hidden fees, and all permits handled professionally. When issues arise, you deal directly with the owner, not a call center. We’re invested in Cambridge’s construction community for the long term, building relationships based on reliable service rather than one-time transactions.
