When your construction timeline depends on equipment arriving exactly when promised, you need more than just a truck and trailer. You need operators who understand Barkersville’s terrain, from the rocky Adirondack foothills to seasonal road conditions that can derail poorly planned moves.
Your heavy equipment gets transported with the same precision we bring to excavation work. No guesswork about routes, no surprises about permits, and no delays because someone didn’t plan for the realities of moving oversized loads through upstate New York.
The result is equipment that arrives ready to work, projects that stay on schedule, and one less thing keeping you awake at night worrying about logistics.
We’ve been handling heavy equipment throughout Saratoga County since 1997. We understand the unique challenges of moving construction machinery in this area because we work with it every day.
When you’re dealing with narrow country roads, seasonal weight restrictions, and the permitting requirements that come with oversized loads, experience matters. We’ve navigated these challenges for decades, building relationships with local inspectors and understanding exactly what it takes to move equipment safely through Barkersville and surrounding areas.
This isn’t a side business for us. Heavy equipment transport is part of what we do as excavation contractors who own and operate the machinery that builds this community.
First, we assess your equipment specifications, pickup location, and destination to determine the right trailer type and route. Whether you need a standard lowboy, RGN trailer, or specialized Landoll trailer for ground loading, we match the equipment to your specific requirements.
Next, we handle all permitting and route planning. Oversized loads require proper permits, and some routes have restrictions based on bridge heights or seasonal weight limits. We take care of these details so your move happens without delays or complications.
Finally, our experienced operators transport your equipment using professional-grade lowboy trailers designed for heavy hauls. You get real-time updates on progress and arrival times, plus the peace of mind that comes from working with contractors who understand both the equipment being moved and the local conditions we’re moving it through.

Our equipment moving service includes lowboy trailer transport for construction machinery, excavators, bulldozers, and other heavy equipment that exceeds standard height or weight limits. We handle RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for easy loading, Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capabilities, and specialized carriers for unique transport requirements.
In Barkersville and the broader Adirondack region, equipment transport faces specific challenges. Rocky terrain means heavier machinery for construction projects. Seasonal tourism creates traffic considerations during peak months. Winter weather affects both equipment availability and transport scheduling.
Our local knowledge means we plan for these factors upfront. We understand which routes work best for different types of loads, how seasonal restrictions affect timing, and what backup plans make sense when weather or road conditions change unexpectedly. This regional expertise translates into more reliable service for your equipment transport needs.
We use several specialized trailer types depending on your equipment specifications and loading requirements. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment that needs the lowest possible deck height to clear bridges and overpasses. These trailers can handle most construction equipment while staying within legal height limits.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers offer the advantage of ground-level loading, which eliminates the need for ramps when loading equipment that can’t be driven onto a trailer. Landoll trailers provide hydraulic tilt capabilities and sliding axle configurations for precise positioning during loading and unloading.
For oversized loads that exceed standard dimensions, we have extendable lowboy trailers that can accommodate longer equipment. The key is matching the right trailer type to your specific equipment and transport requirements, which we determine during our initial assessment.
Oversized equipment transport requires careful permit planning and route selection, especially in the Adirondack region where bridge clearances and seasonal weight restrictions can affect transport options. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities to ensure compliance with state and local regulations.
Route planning considers multiple factors including bridge heights, weight limits, road conditions, and seasonal restrictions. Some routes that work fine in summer may have weight restrictions during spring thaw periods. We plan primary and backup routes to avoid delays if conditions change.
We also coordinate with utility companies when equipment height requires temporary wire lifting, and arrange for escort vehicles when loads exceed certain dimensions. This comprehensive planning approach prevents surprises and keeps your equipment transport on schedule.
Timeline depends on several factors including equipment size, transport distance, permit requirements, and current scheduling. Local moves within Saratoga County typically can be scheduled within 2-3 days for standard equipment that doesn’t require oversized permits.
Oversized loads requiring special permits need additional lead time, usually 5-7 days to process permits and coordinate route approvals. During peak construction season (spring through fall), scheduling may require more advance notice due to higher demand for specialized transport services.
Weather conditions can affect scheduling, particularly during winter months when road conditions may delay transport or require different equipment. We provide realistic timelines upfront and communicate any changes that might affect your schedule, so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, we handle equipment transport throughout the Capital Region and beyond, including pickups from equipment dealers, auction sites, or other job locations for delivery to Barkersville area projects. We also transport equipment from local projects to destinations throughout New York state and neighboring areas.
Our transport network extends throughout the Northeast, so whether you’re bringing equipment to a Barkersville job site or moving it from a completed project to another location, we can coordinate the logistics. This flexibility is particularly valuable for contractors who work on multiple projects or need to relocate equipment between seasonal jobs.
Distance affects pricing and scheduling, but our regional knowledge helps us plan efficient routes and coordinate with other transport needs. We provide clear pricing upfront so you know exactly what to expect for your specific transport requirements.
All equipment transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your machinery throughout the entire transport process, from loading to final delivery. Our coverage meets all federal requirements for commercial transport and provides protection against damage, theft, or loss during transit.
Coverage limits vary based on equipment value, but we can accommodate high-value machinery with appropriate coverage levels. We provide certificate of insurance documentation before transport begins, which many project owners or lenders require for expensive construction equipment.
In the unlikely event of damage during transport, we have established procedures for claims processing and work directly with equipment owners and their insurance companies to resolve issues quickly. Our goal is to eliminate worry about your equipment investment during the transport process.
We understand that construction schedules sometimes require urgent equipment transport, and we accommodate emergency requests when possible. Equipment breakdowns, project delays, or unexpected opportunities can create situations where you need equipment moved quickly.
For emergency transport, we prioritize scheduling and may be able to arrange same-day or next-day service depending on equipment type, distance, and permit requirements. Standard equipment that doesn’t require oversized permits has the most flexibility for rush scheduling.
Oversized loads still require proper permitting even for emergency transport, which may limit how quickly we can move, but we work with authorities to expedite permits when circumstances warrant. Emergency transport may include premium pricing, but we provide clear cost information upfront so you can make informed decisions about urgent transport needs.
