Your project timeline doesn’t have room for equipment transport disasters. One damaged hydraulic line or misaligned foundation can cost thousands and delay everything by weeks.
Professional heavy equipment transport eliminates these risks completely. Your machinery gets GPS-guided positioning, proper rigging protection, and arrives exactly where you need it. No scratches, no delays, no excuses.
You skip the permit headaches, avoid the insurance nightmares, and get direct communication with experienced operators who’ve handled equipment moves throughout Warren County for 27 years. Your equipment moves once, moves right, and keeps your project on schedule.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment through Bakers Mills since 1997. Josh personally oversees most machinery moves because our family reputation depends on getting it right.
We know Warren County’s seasonal challenges, from spring mud season access issues to winter frozen ground advantages. We understand which routes work for oversized loads and which local officials handle permits efficiently.
You work directly with people who live here, not distant corporate dispatchers. When problems arise, you call Josh directly. When you need equipment moved again next year, we’ll remember your site and requirements.
We start with a detailed site assessment of your equipment, access routes, and any obstacles. This includes measuring dimensions, checking weights, and identifying the right transport method for your specific machinery.
Next comes permit coordination and route planning. We handle all DOT paperwork, arrange escorts if needed, and coordinate timing with local authorities. You get updates on progress, but you don’t deal with bureaucracy.
On moving day, our operators arrive with proper rigging equipment and GPS guidance systems. Your equipment gets loaded safely, transported securely, and positioned precisely at the destination. We provide real-time updates and ensure everything’s ready for your next construction phase.

Your heavy equipment moving service covers everything from initial rigging through final positioning. We handle compact excavators, large dozers, industrial machinery, and specialized construction equipment with appropriate trailers and rigging for each job.
Our Bakers Mills location gives us advantages other machinery movers don’t have. Winter frozen ground access means we can reach sites that are impossible during mud season. Rural Warren County roads accommodate oversized loads better than urban areas, reducing permit complications and routing restrictions.
Your service includes route surveys, permit acquisition, traffic control coordination, and site preparation for equipment placement. We also coordinate with crane services when needed and provide temporary storage if your equipment arrives before your site is ready. Local knowledge prevents the delays that cost you money.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s size, weight, and the specific route through Warren County. Most machinery over standard highway limits needs New York State DOT oversize/overweight permits, plus potential local permits for certain roads.
The permit process typically takes 2-4 weeks, and rushing it usually causes rejections that delay your project further. Some routes require escort vehicles, specific travel times, or traffic control measures that add complexity and cost.
We handle the entire permit process, including applications, route approvals, and escort coordination. Our experience with local requirements means we know which routes work best and which officials process permits most efficiently. You focus on your project while we handle the bureaucracy.
Heavy equipment transport costs typically range from $2.50-$5.00 per mile in our area, plus permit fees, rigging charges, and any special handling requirements. Simple moves on standard trailers cost less than complex rigging jobs or oversized equipment requiring escorts.
The biggest variables are equipment size, transport distance, permit requirements, and site access conditions. Equipment that needs disassembly or special rigging costs more than machinery that moves intact. Difficult access sites require additional planning and equipment.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down transport costs, permit fees, rigging charges, and any additional services. No hidden fees or surprise charges. You know exactly what you’re paying before we move your equipment, and that price doesn’t change unless you change the scope.
Winter equipment moving is often easier in Warren County because frozen ground provides solid access to sites that are muddy disasters during spring thaw. However, snow and ice complicate loading operations and require additional safety precautions.
We evaluate each winter move based on current conditions, equipment type, and site requirements. Some moves are actually better in winter – frozen ground lets us access remote sites without environmental damage. Others need to wait for better conditions.
Weather flexibility is essential for winter equipment moves. We monitor conditions closely and maintain open communication about optimal timing. Safety comes first, but we can usually find weather windows that work for your schedule and equipment requirements.
We regularly handle equipment up to 80,000+ pounds using lowboy trailers, RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers, and specialized heavy-haul equipment. For extremely large machinery, we coordinate with specialized carriers while providing local expertise for route planning.
Warren County’s rural road network actually accommodates oversized equipment better than urban areas, with fewer overhead restrictions and traffic complications. However, some routes require careful planning for bridge clearances and weight limits.
Each job gets individual assessment to match the right transport method with your equipment specifications. We consider dimensions, weight, center of gravity, and destination access to recommend the most cost-effective approach. If we can’t handle it directly, we coordinate with specialists and manage the entire process.
Yes, we provide complete rigging services including equipment loading, transport, and precise positioning using GPS guidance systems. This includes crane coordination, specialized lifting equipment, and exact placement for machinery that requires specific positioning.
Our rigging services extend beyond transport to include equipment installation assistance, leveling, and initial setup coordination. This is especially valuable for precision machinery or equipment that needs exact positioning relative to existing structures or other machinery.
We coordinate with equipment manufacturers, your installation teams, and other contractors to ensure smooth transitions. Having one company handle transport and rigging eliminates communication gaps and provides single-point accountability throughout the entire equipment relocation process.
Schedule equipment moves 3-4 weeks minimum to allow permit processing, route planning, and coordination with your project timeline. Complex moves or oversized equipment may need 6-8 weeks lead time, especially during peak construction season.
Spring through fall books up quickly as construction activity peaks. Earlier scheduling gets you better dates and often better pricing. Winter moves have more scheduling flexibility but require weather contingency planning that affects timing.
Emergency equipment moves are possible but cost significantly more due to expedited permits, overtime charges, and scheduling disruptions. The more advance notice you provide, the smoother your equipment move will be and the more cost-effective options we can offer.
